Extender
Actually I have the RBK 22 Orbi but I didn't see it listed. I am trying to get wifi on my dock which is about 45 ft away from the base Orbio and has to fo through two walls. I want to put an extender in my dock closet and I want it on the same network as my house is. What product do you recommend?

Re: Extender
Exterior walls are the problem. If they weren't there, 45 feet wouldn't be that much of an issue. Extenders/satellites still need a decent signal to run off of.
what I'd try doing, is stand right where you think you'll be putting the extender/satellite. If you've got a decent signal, then you can add an extender/satellite there. If you don't, you'll either need to find a closer location or run a hardwired connection to the dock.
Once you figure out what tactic will work for you, then you can start looking at extenders vs access points vs satellites.

Please mark your thread as solved so others will know.
Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
