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 the home will be brick and the internal walls will be timber and drywall/gyprock.
I intend on having the ISP internet connection connect to a WiFi Router (either an Orbi or RAX200) which I will plug into a 24 port switch to provide cabled internet to my home, but I am not sure what to do about the Wi-Fi situation.
Is it better to use a RAX200 with a single EAX80 to extend the network or a Orbi AX6000 Mesh System? The total cost seems to be about the same but I can't tell what the range of the RAX+EAX combo will get me and it seems the advertised range of the Orbi AX6000 3 Pack is more than enough for my situation.
Help! 🙂
Kind regards,
Joseph

Depending on placement and distances either the RAX/EAX system would work or the Orbi system would work for most of the internal home coverage. I have a 5k sq ft home and most of the time just 1 router and satellite is sufficient. I can run two satellites however I turn down the power to 50%.

I could go on and on, but the Orbi is an awesome solution, but it is very expensive.

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!
Joseph

You can connect RBS to the RBR via ethernet:
