A FRIEND RECOMMENDED ORBI BECAUSE I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT MY SO-CALLED "SPECTRUM INTERNET GIG" WIF
hey all - just moved to a new city and sadly the only internet provider is Spectrum (Charter). Other than their horrible customer service, cable seems to be fine, and internet only seems to work well...

Oh thank you! It's about 3500 square feet, two story. The house is standard i think .. drywall internally and outside looks like the foamy material. Forget what it;s called.

3500ft is a sizable house. The size that a single router solution will probably struggle at distances. Its around what I have and I'm running an orbi and 2x satellites with great coverage anywhere in my house.
Is your router centrally located? this helps the most with the size house you have and a single router solution.
If its in a utility room (with hvac), do yourself a favor and get it out of there.
