Multiple Satellite Placement
I'm curious about placement of multiple satellites with the Orbi system. I understand it is best to have the router in the center. Is there any drawback (or benefit) to putting two satellites relatively close? I have the router with two satellites I purchased at Costco. I was going to put the router on the main level near the middle of the house. I was then going to place one satellite upstairs and one in the basement. Both satellites would be on the same end of the house (because this is where the TV's are). Is this OK? I may buy a third satellite to have on the other side of the house. Just curious about having two on the same side. Interference? Thank you.Solved
Radiation pattern for orbi RBR50 & RBS50
Have just purchased the Orbi for Wifi coverage in a large house. Works so much better than any other system (and beleive me I have tried many!) I am wondering if any one can supply a map of the wifi radiation pattern of the two units as I had to do a fair amount of placement experimentation to get good results. The different colored lights are only a very rough indication. I had one problem area where I was receiving less than optimal reception in the same room as the router and I found that turning the router unit just a few degree made all the difference. A map representation of the pattern would be a great assist.Solved
