NETGEAR Orbi RBS760 WiFi 6 Mesh Add on Satellite, Adds up to 2,000sq ft, 11AX Tri-Band Mesh. Speeds up to 5.4Gbps

NETGEAR Orbi Mesh WiFi System (RBK852)Easy to setup, fast and seamless coverage for our 5 bedroom house and garden from these two devices. Brilliant.

Installing the Orbi means my Client no longer wants to fire me - it’s literally saved my job. Working from home during Lockdown for 12 months now - alongside 2 teens homeschooling and a Mac user wife has been an utter nightmare. BT fibre 75Mb at the hub location , degrades to less than 20Mb on the top floor of a 4 storey townhouse. Dropped Teams calls and busy PM periods losing the connection entirely - meant I was about to be fired. Simply couldn’t do my job properly. I tried everything - new external line; new socket, new BT Hub, Wi-Fi extenders, upgraded powerlines, x2 5G home hubs (Vfone no connection/EE completely unstable.) Then I read about the Orbi. Yes it’s massively expensive and completely overpriced, but I’ve billed that to my Client and it’s saved my job. Installed in 5mins, worked first time. Devices roam cleverly from the main router to the satellite as you move around the house. And now on the top floor I get the exact same WiFi speed as when sat right on top of the main router. WiFi6 is completely amazing and rock solid. I am utterly impressed. Wired devices just as stable, but not really needed as the WiFi is as stable as any Ethernet connection I’ve experienced. No issues with dual-band roaming - 10yr old printer happy at 2.5, new iPhones living their best lives on 5Ghz. My single best purchase of Lockdown (and I’ve been buying so much that Amazon wrote to me asking if I was actually a business!) Do NOT hesitate to buy this kit - it will change your life, as it has mine.

Upgraded from ZYxel multi X which have been flawless, but wanted WiFi 6 and increased security from net gear armour all easy to setup Virgin home Hub 4 in modem mode great thruput from my 1gif Virgin internet very fast WiFi and good coverage, very expensive though, there are other version now out from net gear but after reading about them they have some reduced features so don’t think you’ve bought old stock this is still the prime one from net gear the armour stuff is very good and comes with unlimited Bitdefender licences yes it does cost extra but for what you’d spend on virus software this is a no brainier UPDATE...... after many months of using there are a few issues with the devices, firstly iPhones seem to weirdly just stop displaying webpages and only turning phone wifi off and on again fixes it, i thought it was my Iphone 12 but does it on most Apple devices. secondly DNS implementation is Rubbish, it uses some special proxy inside the Unit which on some occasions doesn't display a page again, lots on the Internet about this, i have replaced my DNS with CloudFlare and Googles which is slightly better but still no way as good as my Old Zyxel which i will go back to shortly. Personally WIFI 6 is yes faster but not worth the Investment over normal. I wouldn't recommend after having the Zyxel Multi X setup which for 2 years was Bulletproof this is very poor. UPDATE reduced to one star do not buy these major DNS and WIFI drops 14 pages on NETGEAR site on the issue NETGEAR only allow 90 days support then want to charge you to diagnose and RMA the devices are not faulty hardware it’s shoddy firmware. I switched them off went back to Zyxel Multi X and all my issues have gone.....buy something else you’ve been warned.UPDATE 2 finally found a replacement Ubiquiti AMPLIFI Alien expensive but it works flawlessly in Nethear defence I think they may have patched it now I’ve yet to test but honestly for the cost I’d expect a good device do t risk your money look elsewhere.

Excellent product and setup was easy, the only criticism I would say rebooting the system takes a while and it is expensive, but other than that it is a great product for anyone looking to fully utilise their fibre optic plan. I’m currently using community fibre on an 1GBPS plan and the mesh setup they provided wasn’t to my liking so swapped it out with this. Now I get 1GBPS download and upload speeds on WIFI and the signal is amazing with no interference. I would say to anyone. If you do use your own equipment with your ISP, you may find the speed will drop a little bit for the first few hours and once the system configures it self you should be up and running normally. Also from reading a few articles if you are using community fibre and have issues, clone the MAC address from their supplied router or call them up to reprovision the supplied ONT.
