So interesting tidbit to share about my Orbi, the RBK 50 which is the fastest one they have. It comes with a main unit and a satellite unit. It dawned on me that I may never actually be connecting to the satellite unit, so I tested it out. Turns out that even in my new home which is almost 2400 sq feet, I never leave the main router. I tested it out as extreme as I could last night, I put my router in the basement where the smart panel is behind my water heater. This is facing the front of the house. So then I put the satellite top floor opposite end. 2 floors and across the house. Even then I was still on the router and not being handed off.

So there's 2 things about it. 1) that's annoying. 2) it isn't a "problem" because I'm still getting full bars and 170+ up and down on my 150 plan.

I feel like I overpaid for something the Archer C4000 could do for half the price.
