“How does this system performance (range/coverage) compare to the RBR50 Orbi Router and two RBS50 Orbi Satellites? I assume the LAN ports on the router are fully functional, but are the LAN ports fully functional on the two satellite units?”

The RBK43 system is an AC2200 network and covers approximately 6,000 sq. ft. The RBK53 system (1 RBR50 Router + 2 RBS50 satellites) is an AC3000 network covering approximately 7,500 sq. ft. The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports on the routers and satellites are all fully functional as LAN ports (they do not support a WAN connection as the satellites were designed to connect wirelessly to the router; the router has a single WAN port).

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Funny you should ask... I would have bought the RBS50 if I had known it existed before I made the purchase. I have since added one on to my current network. I would highly recommend going for the more powerful unit. The RBS40 does work.... though
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Set up a month ago and everything still working great. I have a large area to cover and this system handled with ease.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have our system setup where the main router on one end of our home and my satellites are; #1 is at the opposite end of our home and #2 is outside in the backyard under the roof of the pavilion. I have full WiFi strength all over our 3000 sq ft home and all over the yard and pasture past the backyard. The Orbis are set up in a triangular setup. This has solved all our WiFi problems. We use DSL which is our only option since we live in the mountains. I also bought a new modem, Netgear DM200.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The physical ethernet ports on the satellite nodes are active and function without issue.
