Orbi 970 vs Orbi 860 through cement walls
Hi! I tried browsing through existing posts, but could not find a similar topic. I currently have an 860 which was fine in the old house, but recently moved into a house with cement exterior wall...
Concrete will cause same problems for any wifi system.
Might set up a ethernet wire out to the patio area and install a wireless AP. If the unit has to be outside, then they have external weather proof cases that could be used for the wireless AP.
Review one of these?
Is the RBS860 exposed to the outside environment? Orbi systems are not designed for outside use, even if under a over hang or covering. Exposure to humidity, cold and hot temperatures in a out side environment will not be good for the RBS that are designed for indoor use. If you need a RBS out side, you should look into a outdoor weather proof electronics case.
