NETGEAR Orbi RBK853 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (Set of 3)

Only negative is difficult/unable to connect to 2.4 band with 5G phone to set up 2.4ghz item.

Used is better value. Especially if seller's reason was just wanting latest equipment. This version of these mesh routers is plenty adequate for the average user; even streaming 2 TVs.Covers square area well If you get 3. probably 2 will cover long single story. Only negative is difficult/unable to connect to 2.4 band with 5G phone to set up 2.4ghz item. The manual says there is an IOT (Internet of Things) band but I couldn't find it It might come with next firmware upgrade. That being said, I did successfully connect Echodots, wifi plugs and switches, MyQ garage door openers, Ecobee thermostats, and (somehow) a Rainbird lawn sprinkler controller. I would recommend using exact same network setting as the router you replaced.Read full review

Meh

Not a great choice for us. My printer is wi-fi but it no longer accepts printing jobs from my laptop.
Also cannot get our TV to recognize the new system...TV isn't all that old.
Internet seems to be much slower... could be COVID..
For the price...my Google system was easier and lasted a few years. I should have just bought that again.Read full review

Easy setup!

I love it. Easy to setup. No complaints. Feature request is the ability to set the DNS via the app. At the time of writing, there's no option to allow to modify the DNS to something else.

Best yet

The next step in the wireless mesh evolution. Great product, setup, app, etc. my only beef is that it displays only one ssid containing both the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Your client picks what it wants. Not optimal for managing your house full of devices. Terrible for Sonos. Hopefully NetGear will fix in the app.Read full review

Bought "open box", NO REGRETS !

The router setup is fast and secure. It "meshes with its satellite flawlessly. The suggestion to link the satellites together before you separate them should be followed. I bought these "open boxes" and my experience with the units taught me, that you MUST RESET the router before you attempt to set this unit up! It will save you a lot of headaches.Read full review

A complete WiFi solution, app needs improvement

It covers a wide area with decent WiFi signal even between floors. My house is a three levels single family, it actually can be covered with two units, the 3-pack is kind of overkill. Signal is very stable and fast. Unfortunately, the Orbi app is not quite stable. It is a fancy upgrade from previous Netgear router software but somehow it suddenly lost authentication of my login. No, I didn't change password , uninstall and reinstall solves the problem.
This issue has never seen in my previous Netgear software...Orbi is good except for this!Read full review

Just get it!

A hundred times better than my Linksys Velop. Faster and no nodes disconnecting (happened once a month with Velop). I’m almost always on 5G WiFi, getting almost the full speed as my wired devices. Night and day difference. Worth every penny if you want the best.Read full review

Orbi RBK853

All I can say is WOW! Replaced my router and five extenders with this system. Wifi speed went from 25 to 125! You won’t regret it. A great upgrade.
