Netgear orbi RBR50
Please help I have brought an orbi system with 1 satellite and wish to extend the coverage to another part of the house which has very poor coverage, do I have to use another orbi product ie satellite or plug in, or is it possible to do this with a cheaper option?
As I don’t really want to send another 130 pounds if I can do this cheaper as this area will most probably be used for just visiting web pages.
thanks for any help received up front.
👍

Re: Netgear orbi RBR50
You could look at wifi extenders but they need to be carefully placed to ensure a decent input signal.
There are also the powerline extenders that work via the mains.
Whatever you choose make sure that the vendor has a good return policy in case it does not work in your environment.
Of course running an ethernet cable would be the most reliable but I guess you dont want to go wired!

I use an Engenius ENS202 Outdoor WiFi AP/Bridge to cover the distance (25m) to my pool equipment. My ENS202 is in bridge mode and recieves a decent signal (-55 to -60dB) from the Orbi base on 2.4gHz. If you don't/can't run Cat5 cable to the annex, consider an AP our bridge solution.
