I currently have the Nighthawk 9000.. thought it was suppose to be the best... now they tell me Orbi is what I need. I purchased 2 Night hawk Mesh extenders ... my router is at one end of my house, I put the first mesh at the other end, and the second in the garage... the one in the garage works sometimes and most of the time not... So Neatgear said I need Orbi... I'm looking at the Orbi RBK50 ... I think it should work from what I've been reading... my question is ... do I purchase 2 Sat.. or 1 Sat and the Orbi Outdoor for the garage...

the benefit to the orbi outdoor is that it is sealed. this will help to keep dust/moisture out of it if you're keeping it in the garage. With that being said, I have a regular orbi in my garage thats been running fine for roughly 2 years. I regularly blow it out to keep the dust down and have it in an area that collects the least amount of dust (not near my woodworking/metalworking).
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft? What is the distance between the router and extender(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
The R9000 and an extender should all thats needed. Even putting on in a garage will work, however extenders are for indoor environments, opening and closing of the garage door may impact a indoor extender placed in the garage over time.
