Design Hep for Orbi
I have a very long one story house and am currently using a router & range extender (see diagram on placement). The range extender does an OK job but does not reach out to cover my pool or external garages. I am thinking of switching to an Orbi system. I am looking at the AC3000 RBK50. I assume that I would replace my current router with the Orbi router and current extender with the Orbi Satelitte. (correct?) For the external coverage, I have electric power in both garages. Should I get another satellite and put in inside garage A? will the satellite need to talk to the Orbi Base or Obai satellite in the main house? Will this cover the pool area? Or do I need to get the outdoor satelitte unit? I am new to this so sorry if these questions are basic and repeated in the forum. If you need further details, please let me know. Thankful.
