Replaced the router!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This replaces your existing router and provides two satellites that you can put wherever you want.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does not replace your satellite or cable modem, which usually also offers WiFi. But because it has 3 stations, you can get broader WiFi coverage around your property by spacing them out.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hopefully, this might help. I've used the Orbi for a month. I still use my current router because I have the Orbi router connected to it by the ethernet cable. Be sure to download the Orbi app. I run my wifi from the Orbi router, it's used as the main router and not the current router. I have 2 satellites that connect to the Orbi and placed one upstairs and the other downstairs. Once you get them to sync to the Orbi router. You should be set. They have a video and diagrams that show where they would recommend you place the satellites. I would recommend using the Orbi as the main router. I tried using my current router as the main router and the Orbi as secondary, but it caused problems to where I couldn't go to some of my usual websites.
