Pre Purchase Question

[tripodtim]

HI, I am looking at getting a system to give coverage to a two story house. It is 13m wide and 25m long (325sqm in total).

Will a RBK40 give as much coverage as a RBK23 as the RBK23 has two satellites? Thanks

I would check the specs of the models you asking about to see:

I have a 5000sqft home and use the CBK40 with just 1 satellite at the opposite end, 40 feet in between. Great coverage, range and performance.

I would stay away from the Orbi's. Mine worked fine for a few months and then it automatically updated its firmware and it has been a nighmare of disconnecting devices constantly. It is useless to me at this point and I am looking to buy another router. Waste of money. Check these boards for folks with the same issues. Many people.
