Worth updating from RBR350?
I currently have a RBR350 with two RBS350 connected over wireless backhaul. I am rewiring the house and moving the router, and as a result I will have two wired satellites and need a third that will wirelessly daisychain to one of the wired satellites.
I can pick up a refurbished RBS350 cheaply on ebay so that is the easy option.
However I want to know if there is any value in upgrading the router while keeping the two satellites I have. This would result in having an RBR750, 850 or similar, with two RBS350's connected by wired backhaul, and an RBS of the same family as the router wirelessly daisychained to one RBS350. I'm pretty sure this will work according to Netgear's compatibility chart. But will I see any benefit from it or will the RBS350's keep everything at their level?
Network info: 4 of us use the Internet mainly for streaming tv and working over videocall, I have an increasing number of smart devices though most are zigbee, I will soon be on full fibre which promises about 900Mb (hence having to move the router).
