Hello all, We have an Orbi system however due to the house being quite large the system is struggling in one of the bedrooms upstairs. As the solo satellite is not availible the UK yet, can I do the following:
Add the additional Satellite to the Orbi system creating a network with three Orbis. Would this also slow down the network as there is effectively more overhead needed?
With regards to the spare master unit, can this also be put into Satellite mode so I would effectively have four Orbis

Thanks in advance.
Yes yes you can add a second satellite. That's how the system is designed to be deployed. Doing so should not cause a slow down, but I've never seen any testing to prove that.
No, you cannot use the spare master unit as a third satellite. Netgear could probably provide firmware to do that, but I don't expect they will.
