Can you have 4 satellites on the RBK50

Costco has the 3-pack RBK50 to allow up to 7500 coverge.  Is it possible to add on another satellite if you have a larger property to allow for more coverage?

Re: Can you have 4 satellites on the RBK50

For the AC2200, how many satellites did you have?  The property I was looking to cover is wide (versus high).  I saw the AC2200 have a 4-satellite pack, but not sure if that's better than a AC3000 3-Pack with maybe a potential add-on?

Re: Can you have 4 satellites on the RBK50

The limitation would probably be bandwidth and range.

I have a 5k sq fw home, router at one end of the house up stairs and 1 satellite at the opposite end down stairs, about 40ft distance inbetween. Head that max distance could be 50-60 feet however that depends on building materials and such.

 

I would think that the main router and 3 stallites places well should be well enough to cover 7500sq ft home. Anything additional or out side this would not be great...these are designed to inside home buildings.

Netgear recommends up to 4 units but many others have had success with more than that on the network.

Would this be on the AC2200 or AC3000 series?
