looking for decibel requirements for backhaul
New Amazon Fire system is bouncing between good and fair signal strength to the Orbi Satellite. The reading is between -50 to -60. The backhaul appears to be the same strength with no interference. Debating on putting an RBS 50 behind the TV and hardware it (along with Apple TV and Roku). I'd have to throw a cheap UPS because the Ring would attach to this satellite.
This was easier to diagnose with the SSIDs separated. Wish there was a way to test using an old 7800 as a bridge, but there is no accessing the backhaul. Hate to spend $215 if this works like crap. BTW, there are a lot of Zigbee devices (and 4 arlo cameras), so I'm not thrilled to use 2.4 band.

Re: looking for decibel requirements for backhaul
What is the sq ft size of the home?
What is the distance between the Orbi router and satelilite. 30-40 feet min. to begin with. Depending on building materials.
It's not recommended to put any wireless AP devices behind TVs or near other electronic equipment as this could cause interference problems.

Re: looking for decibel requirements for backhaul
Ive put 7800s, Asus and 2 new EX8000 behind TVs without a ptoblem because the primary focus is getting ethernet to the tv. No one likes any wires showing but they want DTV Now to work. Would use powerline but code required arc fault/ GFCI breakers.

Re: looking for decibel requirements for backhaul
Thats too close for the Orbi system. The router can cover a good range up to 30 feet to begin with. Mine setting at 40 feet away. Great coverage, range and performance. 5000sq ft home. Opposite end placement.
How about the satellite down on the floor behind the TV or TV stand/cabinet?
I have a simiar set up however satellite is office, next room over is DISH Joey wired to a wireless bridge that sits high on top of the tv cabinet.

Re: looking for decibel requirements for backhaul
The plan is to mount the 2nd satellite behind the tv then hardwire all devices, but I'd like to guarantee that the daisy-chained. backhaul is enough signal. It would be purple gypsum between the original satellite and the new satellite. This is more porous than sheetrock so the signals don't decline as rapidly

Re: looking for decibel requirements for backhaul
Ok, sounds like your on the edge of single range then. I would mount the satellite Up as far as possible though. Ensure there is good ventilation.
I presume you'll need to test this out when you get it set up and see how it goes. Try the satelliite first with out Daisy Chain then try it with it enabled...
