  • price looks good but I will only buy router with wifi 6E or 7.

  • Got the orbi AC3000 (RBK50) a little less than 4 years ago and solved all our speed and dropout issues in an old double brick, two storey house. I can even get some reception across the road, though it's not great at that distance.

    Mesh is definitely the way to go.

    • if you may help me out, i can see this one on facebook market, 1 routers, 2 satellites and 1 speaker, for 80$, you think i should go for it in 2026?

      • for $80 it might be worth it, but it could also be nearing the end of its lifespan, it depends on how old it is and how much it has been used. I couldn't really say, you'd have to talk to the seller about the kind of use they've been subjected to, and whether you trust them or not.

  • I am using RBK853 and it is pretty solid. Never had any issue. Getting around 700-800 MBPS around the house on wifi.

    • Same, have the base and 3 satellites and it is ROCK SOLID. Not had any drop out, slowdowns or any issues at all. Keep getting tempted to Wifi 7 but I can hardly justify changing something that works very well just to give 2 devices which have wifi 7 faster speeds. The only thing I would upgrade are the 1Gb ports.

  • Rbr850 is the router. Rbs850 is the satellite. If you are technically savvy you can convert a router to a satellite. Have done heaps without issues. Cant convert satellite to router by the way. See reddit for conversion instructions. Rbs850 is compatible with rbr850 and rbr750 but not with rbr860.

  • Why you would get this instead of the Netgear Orbi 370 WiFi 7 2-Pack for $379?. It's the latest model.

    • Triband vs dual band. Dedicated 6ghz backhaul on Triband provides better stability and throughput.

      • 6GHz doesn't transmit as far as 5Ghz. I've heard that it's only useful in the same room. Useless for trying to transmit through brick walls and when it comes to wooden walls even has problems through more than one wooden wall. So what good is 6GHz then if you're trying to say transmit it to the other side of the house into another room. So in that cast no 6GHz won't provide good throughput and stability through multiple walls. Only 5GHz WiFi will be able to do that. So 6GHz WiFi isn't that good unless it's close to the main router.

        I bet a good WiFi 7 5GHz dual band backhaul Mesh system would beat WiFi 6 6GHz backhaul through multiple wooden walls on the other side of the house.

        I use a pair of ASUS WiFi 7 BE6500 routers in AiMesh mesh system (5GHz WiFi backhaul) where the node is on the other side of the house through multiple wooden walls. And i can easily download games through Steam at 110MB/s and over on a Gigabit NBN plan. I would like to see 6GHz backhaul do that through multiple wooden walls on the other side of the house.

        • Correct, 6ghz is useless for mesh systems as the range is very weak. This is why you’ll find that the dedicated backhaul band is generally 5ghz instead of 6ghz.

          • @p3r514n: Yes you’re right. I was confused with 6e triband routers, which had dedicated 6ghz backhaul. Having said that, I still believe that having a dedicated backhaul from a Triband router will be better than a saturated dual band. Especially if you don’t have any wifi7 devices..

            • @jingwen91: They don't necessarily all use 6ghz either. The Quad-Band Orbi RBKE962 uses 5ghz as the dedicated wireless backhaul. I used to have one and the range was garbage. Swapped to the ZenWiFi BT8 and the speed and range has significantly improved. There's nothing like MLO.

  • Been looking for a new mesh system, can backhaul them. Are these any good?

  • Good price for it, but, just be mindful about how long you'll actually have with this before the support goes EOL too. I have an old RBK52 set that was officially EOL'd a few months back and I'm looking to replace and this would probably do great, but it may only give me 2-3 years before that date, so doesn't quite stack up so well in that light.

    • You can still use them after they discontinue support, I got the same email a while back but my devices still work, it just means they're not going to update them any more, which doesn't worry me as I never updated mine in the first place.

      • Of course you can and I'm still using it, but it's no longer secure and any exploit leaves you vulnerable.

    • My RBK52 router recently updated itself with new firmware after 5 years but the satellite is still on the old firmware and can no longer communicate. Tried manually installing firmware but now it's gone brick.

  • Good price, good routers. Just make sure that you DO NOT install their phone app to set it up and reject the Netgear Armor installs (even free trials). Both come with a lot of bloatware that is extremely hard to remove later. Have a google or reddit search on the topic before you set it up.

    • You can simply factory reset the device to get rid of it.

  • this or Deco XE75 pro? I can do wired backhaul…

    • I used to own both before I went to WiFi 7 and the XE75 Pro was significantly better for speed and range.

      • thank you kindly!

      • WiFi 7 is a more efficient data transmission protocol compared to WiFi 6 so it's no wonder why it's working better for you.

        • MLO is a game changer. Not only for clients but also for communication between the router and satellite/s.

          • @p3r514n: Yes that's a big advantage of WiFi 7 plus like i said it can transmit more data per packet compared to WiFi 6 which means faster data throughput. Even on 5GHz WiFi 7 (dual band WiFi 7 router) is faster than 5GHz WiFi 6 due to the more efficient data transmission protocol.
