I recently bought RBK853 (RBR850 and 2x RBS850). I'm very satisfied with the system, however I still have a dead spot in the bedroom with almost no signal.
I think it is a bit expensive to buy another RBS850 just for my bedroom. Is there any cheaper solution how I can extend the range? It does not have to be the same speed for this room. I've been looking at the wall plug RBW30, but it seems like it is not supported?

Re: Cheap extension for RBK853?
Thank you for the help. I did not know about the EX model - that might be a good option..
My home is 170m2 that should be about 1830 Ft.. The big problem is mostly due to the many walls and long hallway to the bedroom. I have attached a drawing of the home and placed the location of the RBR and RBS.

Seems like the RBS could be placed down farther from the RBR.
