The Home:
A early 70's partial brick basement ranch on concrete block. Approximately 3200 total SQF. It has a deck/porch across the back as well. If does have some Aluminum Foil insulation (I'm not kidding) and some of it will be replaced, but perhaps not all.
The NEEDs:
I need strong WiFi on the porch and throughout the house, if it will reach the pad 50 or so yards behind the house where the future garage will be that would be great too. Though I may string CAT6 through old phone jacks during the somewhat extensive remodel, i need it to perform well over a wireless backhaul.
I do have WiFi 6 capable devices with more planned in the future. and i have gigabit service coming in.
The Questions:
So, Between he ORBI AX6000 and Linsys Velop do we see any clear advantage (other than price) to either one either in specs or personal experience.
Additionally, while documentation seems to indicate a 2 node system is sufficient the extra nodes are in short supply so if i only buy a 2 node system I'm sunk if it does not blanket the house. In actual real work conditions will a 2 node system blanket this residence with strong signal over a wireless backhaul... without a doubt ... or should i just go straight to OVERkill with 3 nodes.
