One of my friends lives in a small Western-style three-story building. They had previously installed a 100M fiber optic line for their internet. Recently, several children at home were experiencing network issues, so they added another 100M fiber line. Let's take a look at the paradox of the kids: they have three sons—10 years old who wants to watch movies online, 12 years old who plays games, and 15 years old who downloads things (probably just random stuff). The 15-year-old boy felt that the 100M fiber with 12M download speed wasn’t fast enough, so he refused to share bandwidth with his younger brothers. When the younger siblings were downloading, the whole family would experience buffering while watching videos or lagging during games. To solve this, the friend decided to pull a separate fiber line dedicated to Wi-Fi, with the main broadband used for downloads. He bought an Orbi RBK50 router system to improve coverage. However, after installation, he realized it didn't cover the entire house. He asked me to help fix it. I noticed that the Orbi RBK50, though high-end, wasn't suitable for a three-story house. The coverage area was calculated based on a single floor, not multi-level structures. The first floor was around 120 square meters, the second floor about 100, and the third floor similar. With only two routers in the package, signal strength was weak on the third floor, and even on the second floor, some rooms had only 2.4GHz signals, which were slow. After trying different placements, we realized that two routers weren’t enough. We ended up replacing the RBK50 with an RBK30 kit and an extra expansion router, which provided better coverage for the three-story building.
After some research, we found that the Orbi RBK30 is more cost-effective and suitable for smaller homes. It has a quad-core processor, tri-band support, and uses a wall-socket design for the expansion router, making it easy to install without needing extra space. We also purchased an additional RBW30 expansion router to ensure full coverage across all floors. The setup process was straightforward using the Orbi app, which guides users through the configuration step by step. Once set up, the network covered the entire house, with seamless roaming between floors. Even when moving between levels, there was no drop in connection. This setup proved more reliable than using separate routers for bridging, which often caused disconnections. For those looking to cover a multi-story home, choosing a system like Orbi RBK30 with proper placement can be a practical solution. Additionally, adjusting channel settings and increasing transmit power via the advanced settings menu can further optimize performance. Overall, the right choice depends on the specific layout and needs of the home, but a well-planned wireless router system can make a big difference in connectivity and user experience.
