Nighthawk to Orbi - but which one? RBK50 vs RBK23W
Hello everyone! I've been running a Nighthawk router for a while now and love it. I like that it has Disney Circle built in but haven't started using it yet. Probably will soon.
Anyhow, my home is on 3 levels and we also have outside areas and basement areas where wifi is weak. So I'm looking into a mesh type setup and was thinking of trying to keep the Nighthawk but it looks like most mesh systems want to replace it completely, so I came across Google Wifi, EERO, and Orbi.
My question about Orbi is - both the RBK50 (two devices) and RBK23W (3 devices) seem to claim 5000sf of coverage. How do I know which is better for my situation? Is the 23W an older device set than the 50?
Thank you.
Brian

Big is better.
This means RBK50 is the best for home.
