Before it was on the main floor and coverage was OK at that point. It's worse now as it's in the basement. I setup another 68U on the 2nd floor and currently using Aimesh. I'm using ethernet backhaul through powerline, which seems to be a little flaky. Even with the two routers, coverage pretty much dies in my garage.
Going to install the Orbi and see if it makes an imrovement.

I have the RBK 50 like you, amazing price I am jealous.
The RBK 50 has a great dedicated wireless backhaul, obviously wired is best, but, the RBK is really impressive. If I were you I'd try to see if just the one main base unit works by itself, it's that powerful.
