RBK43 Orbi Router and 2 x Satellites, Tri-Band AC2200 - extra satellite required
I have had this sytem for a couple of years now, has worked great in our old house. Now moving to a bigger house and I expect that I may need another satellite - which model should I buy to give me good compatibility? Or, has the technology improved so much that I should just scrap these and go for a whole new system? My existing house and my new house are both 200+ year old stone rambling buildings, so it has never been an easy challenge to get good wifi everywhere. TIA.
You can get a RBS20, RBW30, RBS50, RBS50Y out door satellite. Also EX7500, 7700 nad 8000 working as well in a pinch as extenders with Orbi AC

How much bigger is the new home?
I would first try the RBK43 in the new home and see how it goes.
30 feet or nore is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
Thank you for the prompt reply. Oh, I'll definitely try my existing kit first. I am just pre-empting this discussion in case.
If yoru system is working for you and all your devices and it works in the new home, I would keep it. Unless you don't have any wifi devices that don't support AX, I wouldn't see a real need to scrap what you have and go for something different.
