Hi all I recently purchased the three pack RBR850 with two RBS850. It’s possible that a two pack might have been sufficient and I’ve read a few posts on here that talk about minimum separation between points so I was wondering... 1. Why the minimum separation? Is it to stop the signals interfering? 2. If they are closer than recommended, should I adjust the transmit power down? 3. What issues would I expect to see if they are too close? From what I understand, the points talk to each other over 5Ghz channel which gets weaker quicker over distance compared to 2.4Ghz, so the further the points are away from each other, would I see performance drop off if I happened to be connected to the farthest point? Thanks in advance for any answers - trying to learn this stuff! Matt
Yes, the signals between the RBR and RBS needs to be at a good distance as to not cause too much over lap in the signals. 30 feet has been the starting point for most Orbi systems. Also building materials can be a factor as well. There is a sweet spot for distances. Think of it as someone talking near your ear rather then at a distance. Would be kind of distracting if someone was talking near your ear and you trying to talk back to them.
