Buying Advice Please
Hi all, firstly apologies if this question has been answered before. I did have a quick search and couldn't find out a definitive answer.
Scenario - 4 bedroom/two storey UK Brick built house. With 4 kids and a whole host of gaming, wifi/internet/ required devices!! Sonos wireless music setup. BT Broadband with about 60MBPS download.
So, after a number of issues with the BT Whole Home WiFi 3 Disc Mesh system, i have today arranged for it to be returned to Amazon UK.
Researching for a replacement the Orbi system looks like it will do a much better job for me. So, my question is this. With me needing a good stable wifi setup (that will make the most of the speed i get), that will cover the house and about 10metres into my garden, for the rare sunny days sitting by the bbq.
Do you advise that I buy the RBK50 two unit AC3000 setup. Or am i better off with a 3 unit AC2200 pack, such as the RBK23/RBK43 (Incidently, is there a difference in these two packs?).
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

What is the square feet of your home?
I have a 5000sq ft home with the 40 series system with just 1 satellite, 40 feet in between the satellite and router. Has great coverage range and performance, even out side. ISP is 200/10. Have two game consoles, cameras and DISH Sat TV system.
Difference between 50 series and 40 series is wifi connection rates:
50 Series -
Combined WiFi speed | 3,000 Mbps (1733 + 866 + 400Mbps) |
40 Series:
Combined WiFi speed | 2.2Gbps (866+866+400Mbps)† |
Sonos has been known to cause problems with wifi systems FYI...
I would try a 40 series system...
