Daisy Chain
Which Orbi would have the best range for daisy chain? What is the optimal distance for an Orbi from router - clear line of sight. Assuming clear line of sight, If I have two orbi's chained in a line ...
This is how I determined my Satellite placement/distance. First, I install/setup the Orbi router and test its range with my phone to ensure that WiFi signal/speed is still acceptable at the desired Satellite location. Then I place my first Orbi Satellite there. Rinse and repeat with 2nd Satellite.
If the Orbi signal can reach my phone, it will not have any trouble reaching the Satellite either. Just to give a point of reference, the distance between my Orbi/Satellite is about 40-50ft with few walls in between.
You can try similar expermiments using your phone/device and see how far can you get away with. Rinse and repeate with 2nd/3rd Satellites.
