RBK40 Coverage
On the US website (https://www.netgear.com/orbi/rbk40.aspx) it is claimed that the RBK40 "covers up to 4,000 square feet with high performance AC2200 WiFi" and on the UK website (http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/networking/orbi/) it claims "covers up to 250 square meters". The thing is, 4,000 square feet is 372 square meters and 250 square meters is 2,691 square feet. This implies that the US version covers almost 50% more than the UK. So why is there the large discrepency and which one is correct? Or are the differences due to typical home construction differences between the US and UK? I've also checked the French website and that is also 250 square meters. The same issues apply to the other models on the the US and UK websites.R8000 does not cut it
Hello all, I have a 3,400 sq. ft. home. The internet provider's cable comes in at both ends of the house. When I connect my Netgear R8000 Blackhawk, I get tremendous speeds at one end of the home, close to the router (150mbps), but at the other end of the house, I barely get a signal. Does anyone recommend I replace R8000 with Orbi -OR- can I add Orbi to my R8000? If so, how would I go about doing that. Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.
