RBK20 vs RBK33

Hello,

 

I finalyl settled on trying an Orbi for our 2,500+ some sqft home.

 

I ordered this Sunday night from B&H for which I thought was a good price. It has the RBR20 and one wall plug

 

It arrived today but I didnt open it yet

 

I see now on amazon the RBK33 which is the RBR40 and 2 wall plugs is on sale for only 25$ more then what I just paid for the RBK20

 

Is there any reason I should not return the RBK20 and grab the RBK33? (I do have to pay return shipping) but unless I am missing some there are mostly the same except size, and with th 30 I get additional LAN ports as well as an additional wall plug

 

Help!

 

Thanks in advance!

Check the specs of each kits on the support site. I believe there about the same.

The RBK20 consists of one Router (RBR20) and a Satellite (RBS20). The router has one internet port and 2 LAN ports. Satellite has 2 LAN ports.
The RBK33 consists of Router (RBR40) and 2 wall plugs (RBW30). Router has one internet port and 4 LAN ports. The wall plugs (Satellites) have no LAN ports, they are just wall plugs.

Thanks

 

actually looks like the kit I got is called rbk20w and has one rbr20 and one wall satellite 

 

that arrived but but the difference in cost for the rbk33 is only $44 plus shopping the  rbk20w back

 

just wlndering if the  performance of the 20 vs 40 is any difference in signal ? I know I get another satelittle but will the 40 provide better performance 

 

I just trying to figure if it’s a better choice to spend them extra $$ for the rbk33

I think that there should not be any big performance difference between RBR20 and RBR40. The difference should only be in number of LAN ports and consequently physical size.
