3500 sq ft home coverage with the new RS700
I am planning on purchasing the best wireless routing equipment I can find to us with my Charter Spectrum service, since I have had serious issues with the wireless router I rent from them. My home ...
Since the RS hasn't released to the public yet. There's little or no experiences out there yet to give you feedback on the RS700.
The RS and other Orbi systems are intended for inside or indoor use. With some coverage out doors say anywhere from 10-20 feet beyond the building exterior walls based on building materials as well.
For that size of home a Orbi 7,8 or 9 series would work with the main router and just 1 RBS. I have a 5000sq ft home and can get away with 1 RBS with power set to full strength. If I run two RBS which I do, I turn down the power to 25% most of the time.
You can have too much wifi as well: https://youtu.be/UR0viMLISz4
Placement and distances of any MESH system is key. What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
