NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System (RBK852) – Router with 1 Satellite Extender | Coverage up to 5,000 sq. ft., 100 Devices | AX6000 (Up to 6Gbps)

I originally had a basic Velop mesh system and decided to upgrade to a premium option. I chose Netgear, expecting great performance given its price and marketing. However, when I set it up in the same spot as the Velop, the units couldn't even connect to each other. Despite the large size of the device, I was willing to overlook its appearance for a superior connection. Unfortunately, this turned out to be my worst experience ever, and I felt completely ripped off. I will be replacing it with the Deco X90.

Two days trying to connect the satellite I couldn't. Product returned.

I've never written a review for anything in the past but hopefully this helps add a bit of clarity around what can be expected with this router/satellite, especially given the price. After many hours of researching the RBK852 Wifi 6 router/satellite combo (the $650 version), I decided to give it a try. I was hesitant at first given the negative reviews on Amazon, but in light of the overwhelmingly positive reviews from nearly every tech site I read (with the only real 'con' listed across most sites being the price), I was banking on negative experiences being a result of either QA issues that slipped through the cracks or simple human error. That said, I'm reasonably tech savvy, so I figured/hoped I could get a good result. In the interest of full disclosure, I've only been using it for 2 days - so time will tell if what I write here remains true in the long run. I'll update this review if things turn out differently. Setup: Took about 30 min from unboxing to completion. Really straight forward using the Netgear app on my phone. In the app, your able to setup the network, change the default SSID and password. Unlike most other routers I've worked with, there is no need to configure the 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz networks separately; the router handles the broadcast of each using an identical SSID and assigns each connected device to the frequency best suited. I followed another reviewer's recommendation to setup the router with the satellite a few feet away, then moved the satellite to it's proper place. This seemed to work just fine, I don't know if I would have had an issue otherwise. I have the router in a small downstairs office and the satellite in the upstairs game room. Speeds: The farthest point in my house away from either the router or satellite is about 60 ft (in a straight line with walls/doors obstructing line of sight). At that farthest point, I average 400Mbps. In a room with the maximum number of walls between me and either the router or satellite I get around 350 Mbps. Most places in the house average 650 Mbps. If I'm in the same room as EITHER the router OR satellite, I'll get a minimum of 960 Mbps, frequently hitting over 1 Gbps. I've experienced no loss of connection moving through the house and have had no issues to speak of, whatsoever. Conclusion: If you're looking for a whole-home, high-speed wifi setup and have the money to spend, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try. I've had a few high end, "high-speed" wireless routers in the past, but nothing that comes close to the speed and coverage of the Orbi. Your experience may differ, but at the moment, I regret nothing.

Son muy fáciles de instalar y de configurar no dudes en comprarlos. En mi casa había habitaciones donde no llegaba el internet y la verdad con estos equipos llega sin problema y con buena velocidad

Easy to setup with the NetGear Orbi app from the play store, Just follow the set up. Use the default SSID and passphrase until you're completely done Then change your SSID and passphrase to what you want. Note: I had to reinstall the NetGear Orbi app because the diagram map showed red for not connected to the internet and router when I was connected. The satellite showed green. Called tech support and the tech suggested that I remove the app and reinstall After I reinstalled the app everything showed green. The web page interface shows a lot more options and a better view of your attached devices. Don't forget to change web page password. The web page allowed me to assign IP addresses to my devices. When I did noy have the TV assigned an IP address, I would sometimes get a not connected when going into HULU (pretty much everyday) I just had to cancel the error message and try again., After I assigned the TV an IP address, I never had that problem again. Note: If you have a TV with Wi-Fi 6, do not use the ethernet cable connected to your satellite. It's a slower connection, Use the Wi-Fi for your connection, I don't like the Armor because it wants you to install Bitdefender on all your devices. I like the Asus Aiprotection because it does not require any software to be install on your devices, I'm still sticking with Netgear Orbi, but I won't be subscribing for the Armor. I'm happy with my with my whole experience with the Netgear Orbi. I believe Netgear Orbi is one of the best routers out there. A bit expensive, but you get what you pay for and you are getting a quality router that will last you a long time. Especially since it can handle 100 devices,

Sin ningún problema y midiendo las velocidades, se aprecia la mejora del mis equipos ya con 8 años de uso, pero que se pudieron integrar a través de cable y como AP Mode

This Orbi Mesh Wifi 6 system is the sweet spot for me when it comes to cost and performance. It is more expensive than say the Google Nest Pro Wifi and Eero Wifi systems, but is not quite as expensive as other 6e or Orbi 7 systems. The performance is absolutely stellar! The antennas packed into them are very strong. The setup was a breeze. And THEY WORKED FOR MY CENTURYLINK FIBER! The last point is a godsend as other routers have issues with Centurylink Fiber as it requires VLAN Tagging to get to communicate properly with the ONT. It was simple, but also a little tricky on getting the settings configured in the correct order so that the router stays connected while everything got changed over, but once it did it really took off! Signal strength is great. The satellite is absolutely great as well. I now have an extremely consistent and fast connection all throughout my home! Better yet it has 3 LAN ports on both the Router and Satellite to connect all of my devices that I don't need wireless! Absolutely blown away by this system and I'm glad that I decided to test it out.
