RBR750 compatible extenders

Hi, 

I'm after some help advice, I have the RBR750 system with 3 satellite at home, old house with thick walls!

one of the satellites will show magenta solid, daily, then I have to reboot? and all is then well for a while.

do I need another satellite between this and the main router or can I buy a range extender to go between them? if so which model?

 

Thanks 

Jason

"old house with thick walls"

What are these walls made of? If its plaster lathe/adobe/brick/concrete, adding more satellites might not help at all. 

With the orbi's using a wireless backhaul, if something is blocking the signal, its doesn't necessarily help to add more satellites. Sometimes you have to investigate switching to using the wired backhaul. You could do that with anything like a MoCa adapter, powerline adapter, or even just running ethernet wire.
