You might try them both as demo to see what works best. Find something online or at a local store that has a good refund policy.
Seen some users with problems with the RBW30 and the 50 series.
Starting point distance between the router and a satellite is about 30 feet. Upwards to 50 feet.

Hi,
I think I might just try the RBW 30 and I will get it from Amazon and if it doesn't do what it's supposed to then send it back and try the other from Costco.
Thanks for the advice

Hi,
I bought the RBW30 and it works fine.
I paired it up in the house and took it out to the garage and it works well.
Getting 585 mbps out there and that's through 2 brick walls.
It's probably about 30 to 40 feet from the router in the house.
I will say it's a pain to pair up but once I got it it works fine.
Thanks
