“I have about 11000 square feet to cover. May I buy 2 packs which would be 6 units and use them for further coverage around this space? Will they work continuously using the same spectrum input?”

You can buy as many as you see fit and connect them all but Honestly look at buying the one 2 pack of good eero Tri Band routers like the 6 Pro or another good recommended router. First look to see if you can buy a separate one by itself if needed. If the first 2 isn’t enough and internet is lagging then purchase a third and add it. If the 2 are good enough then you’ll save a couple hundred dollars. My house is 13,000 square feet upstairs and the 3 are outstanding but we bought the 3 pack in case we need to set one up downstairs. My internet provider modem and router gets 450 Mbps download and 20 Mbps download. Which for us is outstanding but speed has a lot to do with your provider. If you upgrade router call and get a newer modem from provider. I hope this helps

Sometimes they will get stuck on a node that’s further away but it’s rare. Just toggle wifi on the device real quick and it should connect to the proper node. But that rarely happens. Don’t space them too far apart from one another, I think the recommended space is about 50 feet. I don’t know if you are using them all wired or not, but you will have it easier if you are. If your satellites are all wireless it’s ok too as these are Tri-Band and use a separate 5ghz band for backhaul to the main unit. If you’re using them wired your spacing can be a little more lenient. These are one of the best mesh systems. I just networked my sisters house using them and all the issue with wifi are a thing of the past ( dead zones on whole floors, intermittent wifi ). She has FIOS gigabit and the even though I discovered as I was fiddling around the firmware of her Verizon provided router it was very good, just wasn’t suitable for her situation. Stay away from links us velop. Probably the worst mesh system I’ve worked with. Oh these are also very simple. But with that simplicity comes lack of advanced controls. I was surprised that you couldn’t even separate the bands into different SSIDs. But it works so well and I’m in the minority of customers who would actually like in depth control via firmware. It just works. But you don’t have much control to change things. That’s probably best as most people aren’t advanced networking admins. These are great
