Maximum range on Mesh system (ORBI)

Hi,

 

I would like to connect 3 apartments in multi-storey building which are on 9th 6th and 4th floor.

The are on the same "line" of the beailing, which means above/below each other.

 

Will a mesh router will be able to hande this distance, and concrete walls/ceilings?

If it will work, how will it affect the speed, by how much?

 

Regards,

S

    Concrete is the best at blocking wifi. To such an extent that many times even 1 decent wall can deteriorate a signal enough to be un-usabe. 

    And you have more than 1 floor in between (floors tend to be thicker than walls so block even better)

    I don't think you're going to find a mesh system to connect them wireless.
