You didn't give us much to go off.
1. what are your exterior walls made from? Thats usually what blocks wifi the best and is a key part.
2. Is the access point going to be external to the house or still inside the house? (for if you need an outdoor rated access point or not)
3. what size is the home?
4. what are the interior walls made up of?
5. what are you doing outside? are you needing 200mbps for high bandwidth use or just enough to have a connection for music/occassional streaming?
6. Whats your budget? The RBK752 system is nice but expensive. If you've already got the RAX70 and can't return it, purchasing another whole system gets expensive. Versus if you only need the 1 access point and you can hardwire it in.
