RBR50 upgrade
I have an RBK50 set up - one RBR50 router and one RBS50 satellite. I am feeling the need for just a bit more power and coverage to be able to use an outdoor satellite properly (and, yes, I have the latest firmware!) - what would the next step up be in the Orbi universe?

Re: RBR50 upgrade
What is the distance between the router and satellite(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected. https://kb.netgear.com/000036466/How-far-should-I-place-my-Orbi-satellite-from-my-Orbi-router
What is the distance between the outdoor RBS and the RBR?

"Step Up" is a complicated question, because that basically involves what we used to call a "fork lift upgrade". i.e. change out everything. The obvious advice is to go with a WiFi 6 system, but which one??? (from which vendor and which model) Are you so enamored with Netgear Orbi that you will only consider a "better" Orbi?

Re: RBR50 upgrade
Hi
The distance from the router to the satellite is about 10m vertically, 8 m horizontally through a substantial brick and timber Victorian building.
• What is the difference between WiFi 6 and WiFi 7?
• Yes! WiFi 7 is backwards compatible with other Wifi devices? Learn more
