CBK40 - Best Placement
I live in a multi-story home with no cable lines run to bottom floor. I see recommendation is modem on bottom floor and satellite on second floor. I am having troubles connecting to WiFi downstairs. Any suggestions?
Model: CBR40|Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi Cable Modem Router

Re: CBK40 - Best Placement
Your best configuration would be if you have the modem in the basement, instead of a CBK40, get a modem only unit to be in the basement and get into a stand alone Orbi system. Then wire connect the Orbi router on the main floor and the place a satellite on the 2nd floor. Basements are not recommended for the base wifi router.
30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
