Ex7300 or ex7500 as an orbi extender
My orbi RBW30 satellite broke down and I'll be replacing it with an extender. what would be better, to get a ex7300 and connecting it to my orbi with an Ethernet cable or a ex7500 and connecting it ...
You'll get better performance out of the ex7500 versus the ex7300 because of the dedicated backhaul. That's the route I'd do.
Id prefer a wallplug. I’ve got a plug just under the sealing, no shelf’s, no wall-mount’s etc.
Just a plug and a Ethernet cable.
In my country used Orbi satellites aren’t available. I can get a new RBS40v and RBS50.
They cost ca. 290 and 330 USD (vat incl.)
I can get a used ex7500 for 70 USD and a ex7300 for 90 USD.
I was considering an AP. The solution has to be cheap. It’s only for one printer and an outdoor camera.
