RAX200 & EAX80 vs Orbi Mesh System
Hi, I am planning my new home which will be a reasonably large 2 storey home, about 450sqm/5000sqft (~225sqm/2500sqft per floor) and the block of land is about 800sqm/9000sqft. The facade of ...

It sounds like I’ll have a better time with the Orbi, I’ll go with that, maybe the AXE11000?
Will I get a better result using wired back haul between the satellites and the router? Also, can I plug one of the router ports into a switch to provide the cables network?
Thanks so much!
