Could. Might get the 3 pack and then deploy what you need. save the other RBS for later, or if needed.

For that size of home, the RBR and one RBS would work. 30 feet distance in between the RBR and RBS is starting distance at least.

Will placing all 3 of these cause saturation, should i downgrade to the 2 station model? Or put one out in the gargage (not heated, prob in the low 20's at night). Any advice is welcomed. Crude pic of sattelite placements included in pic 🙂

I currently own the Orbi 850 Series AX6000 - my wifi download speeds are around 380 down and 32 up. This is on a 1.2 gb connection. I have the router and 2 sattelite stations with my AX6000. The 970 woudl kind of future poroof me for wifi down the road and probably double my speeds on wifi?
