What happens to system speed when a second satellite is added?

[john-iv]

The extra standalone Orbi satellite is supposed to be available on Amazon on 11/21 .

Does anyone have insight on how a second satellite added to the existing Orbi router + satellite setup will impact performance, if at all? Will it halve it like an extender?

Thanks.

the simple answer is no , as the orbi isnt mesh based as such and both sats connect to the router

the 1733M backbone is rwice as much as any one sat can do , eg the orbi system is 867M on 5 gig and 400M on 2.4 gig that is usable by the clients

the orbi system atm runs like this

sat ---- router ----- sat

the orbi system atm does not do

router ---- sat ----- sat

I have 3 total and have noticed no speed reductions
