Orbi system recommendation
Not sure if the AC2200 systems would be sufficient or if I would need to bump it up to the AC3000. I have a 1700 square foot home for the main floor. A second floor is directly above where the Orbi would be. On the other side of the wall where the Orbi would be located is the kitchen with the micro and fridge up against that wall (but on the other side). Then I have a wood shop that is separate from the house and maybe 25 feet from where the Orbi would be setup. My main concern is getting the signal out to the wood shop. Would the RBK40 or RBK23 work, or should I go with the RBK50, or? Also, if I went with the RBK50 (AC3000), would adding an AC2200 satellite degrade the performance of the other 2 units?

I forgot to mention, I also would be streaming 4K in the wood shop. In the main house I would also stream 4K, but that would be connected by a lan cable, not wireless.

House size Find Your Orbi System:

30 feet is recommended in between base router and satellite(s) to begin with depending upon building materials.
I have a 40 series system with just 1 satellite in a 5000sq ft home. 40 feet in between the base and satellite. Zero problems. However I don't stream 4K as I don't have anything 4K at the moment.
