I don't know about concrete floor. Probably about as bad as any other device. The satellites are wifi only. You can not hard wire them for an ethernet backbone between units. This has been requested as a feature request, and Netgear is looking into it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My home is totally made out of bricks, go check out my review, I get full bars/speed around my whole property, amazing how Netgear has managed to do this, whatever they do is the right way to do Mesh and this has been the best Wi-Fi I have ever had on this house, I get almost identical speed via Wi-Fi that I get via LAN, the Wireless signal is virtually the same speed I get when connected directly to the router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can't address concrete floors, but the satellites only require power,not a network cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a good chance it will go through concrete, but depends on how much re-bar (metal) is also in the concrete. Best to just test and see, if it doesn't work take it back to Best Buy. There is no hard wire connection between the devices, it is a separate RF channel that links the Router and Satellite together. Be sure to perform the system updates for best performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Orbi system was designed to break through traditional WiFi barriers (such as concrete) with its powerful Tri-Band mesh network to cover approximately 4,000 sq. ft. (for one satellite plus one router) under a single SSID. The satellite was designed to connect wirelessly to the router via its dedicated WiFi channel.
