NETGEAROrbi Mesh WiFI System (RBK762S) |WiFi 6 Router with 1 Satellite Extenders | Speeds up to 5.4 Gbps |Coverage 4,000 sq ft and 75 devices

The dream - is fast, solid, stable WI-FI in every room, with not much messing about during setup, and no need to switch from network to network. You are thinking to yourself "I want to just go up and down stairs, out to the shed, down the garden and in the garage on my WI-FI network. I Just want to connect and not think about it" - Well YES, this product will do that.Its fast, and once its working (read on) its really solid, sometimes my devices choose a weird base point to join, so for example, a printer in my office (next to an access point) has decided to connect to the living room base point which is a long way away ... it works its just odd? Can I change the default base station for a device ? No.I do like the guest network settings, so if you have a cafe, or B&B and you want to use EPOS and "private" devices such as laptops, tablets, Sonos speakers for example, then the private network is perfect. Then you can simply create another "guest" network with a different password and give different access to people.The setup was great - (but there is a down side so read on) - This system uses a wizard to set you up, it works and it took the pain out of it. BUT. a big BUT... If you want to play Jazz with it, like fiddle with settings, or do some pro setup of your network then you are going to be disappointed. It does it one way and that it... It works perfectly (mostly) but it's very restricted.Something that is REALLY GOOD, is the switch handling - So I have a load of devices, like Philips Hue, Smartthings, Hive heating, NAS storage boxes, Sonos devices, and the all need a base station type connections somewhere. With a Cable to a router somewhere. So buy a cheap Netgear (or whatever) un-managed switch like "NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit Network Switch GS108 £25 on Amazon" and just plug everything in, then connect it to a single Ethernet port on the ORBI base station - and wow wow wow it just all works. If you want to tinker and play jazz (read on) you can't - it works but there is no controls you to touch - that might sound like heaven or hell depending on your skill level !It is very restricted to "home users" with kids... The safety settings, and internet restrictions are powerful but pointless if you just trust your family or want "normal" internet. I turned on Parental controls by accident, and when I tried to turn it off I managed to lock everyone (including myself) out of the internet. Support gave me nothing useful (using my phone 3g to access) so in the end I did a hardware reset to factory setting and started all over again. Painful day that was....Not sure I like the Rewards feature of the parental controls - granting "internet time rewards" for good behaviour sound like a house I would not like to grow up in.... but I am old and have no children so I will let you be the judge of this feature.Here is the BIG negative. - Netgear I expected better. - This system is basically only compatible with itself. There are lots and lots of NETGEAR ORBI models and kits, too many to count, and basically they all do the same thing - some faster, some with more concurrent connections, newer models with more whizzy stuff but in principal all doing the same job. EACH SYSTEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER - RBK752, RBK762 base stations and extension points will not work with other Netgear Obi systems - you have to have the exact model from a look up table on Netgears website to extend the system. That has got to be deliberate !I only found out this when I purchased an extra pair of satellite range extenders which looked identical but were not compatible - I Had to return them. BAD NEWS - I could not buy single or even (at the time) double satellites that were compatible with my existing ORBI system- even though it was pretty new, so after only 9 months, even though nothing was faulty with them at all, I had to but this system again NEW because it was the only way to get my hands on compatible satellites to extend the range. BOOoo Netgear.For a system that is supposed to be fully extendable, and totally "capable" of connecting everything together, that's is job at the end of the day, I fail to see why NETGEAR have chosen to build in incompatibility into their systems with no way to join or extend freely from the range.With the benefit of hind site - I should have just paid a lot less for a mesh network, I don't know how much better this is for the money, but I help a friend set up a DecoAX3000 the other day and it was brilliant, at a quarter of the cost. I don't expect that to last a lifetime but I can buy one every two years for a decade for the price of the ORBI !

I needed a wifi system to cover a large area efficiently. I trawled sites and found Netgear's AX4200. I could add another satellite if the coverage was not enough. It was simple to set up with the App and I found the coverage excellent. Much, much better than my previous wifi system. I can now work anywhere in my house and data is not dropped or delayed. It was more expensive than my previous system, but I would never go back to it. I will keep using Netgear products in future.Subsequent improvement by adding a second satelliteI live in a bungalow with lots of brick walls between rooms. Also it is well spread out. In my office, which adjoins the kitchen I kept getting drop outs. This occurred when people were in the kitchen blocking the in-line, but highly attenuated path from the base unit. This caused frequent drop outs. I purchased the add on satellite and after positioning it in another ajacent room, which had little attenuation from the base unit, it was able to provide an alternative route via windows in to my office. It was not possible to do this with the first satellite as I needed wired connections to all my office equipment. It was simple to set up and seems to have completely resolved my problem with drop outs. I have had a similar problem with smart meters. It has not been possible to provide me with a smart gas meter because of the poor signal path from the electricity meter, which has a similar path of about 10m through three brick walls!

I tried 3 other popular brand meshes and they simply performed poorly or didn't work. This is my 4th mesh in 3 weeks (yes!) before being satisfied it works wonderfully. I have a 600mbps broadband and a relatively small flat, but have some black spots due to the layout / construction. The other meshes were either maxing out at 100-150mbps, or unstable.Orbi has been a good performer, I can get about 550mbps from the main router, and about 250 from a satellite. Slightly disappointing the satellites don't perform as well given its got a dedicated backhaul as well, but at least it's a stable connection. Could also be my positioning and other conditions.The stability is really good. It was easy to setup. One peculiar issue I had with the other meshes was that sometimes Spotify connect would not work and hence could not play Spotify media my Yahama AV receiver. Not had an issue with the Orbi and everything seems to work wonderfully.My config is such I'm using a mixture of wired and wireless devices, with a wired NAS on the satellite, which performs equally well. Also compared to other meshes, Orbi has a web interface in addition to the mobile app, which is great as you can tweak a lot more settings. The other meshes were a bit limited on what you can change.One downside, £300+ for a set of 3 routers. It's a lot of money for a small piece of kit (not even commercial grade), but I suppose everyone has joined the bandwagon and charging the same amount.

I have now had this for over a year. And it’s been a very frustrating year. I’ve stuck with it because of how much I paid for it, but it is a source of frustration. This router is really fast and stable… until it isn’t. About once every 24 hours, it stops working. I mean, it is on, but devices connected to it via WiFi just lose connection to the internet. Sometimes it just a happens seemingly at random, other times starting a download can trigger it. I’ve been on a video call at the same time my wife is on another video call and everything flows, then I start updating an app and everything stops. Only a reboot of the router gets the internet connection back. I have updated the firmware and nothing has changed. Save yourselves the hassle and the expense, and go get something else.

Marque réputée. Rien a signaler de négatif sur ce produit, tout fonctionne parfaitement

Router gets good speeds, 400Mbps. The sattelite however is stuck at 20mbps while connected on cable. Been reading/googling alot, but its one of the major issues. Orbi failed imho there for this price, will not buy any other Orbi's for this reason. On wireless its even worse, distance is about 10 meters, 1st floor, backhaul connection is bad and is why i had to wired it.

Kanon för mig en perfekt produkt, snabb leverans och bra pris.

Dopo mesi di utilizzo del sistema NETGEAR Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 RBK353, posso dirvi le mie opinioni tramite questa breve recensione.📦PACKAGINGOttimo packaging, tutto ben organizzato e ben inscatolato✔️PROOttimo design.Velocità di trasmissione elevata e bassa latenza.Dual band.Facilità di installazione estrema.❌CONTROCosto leggermente elevato.📄CONSIDERAZIONI FINALIIl prodotto è molto valido. Super intuitiva la configurazione, procedura guidata che davvero qualsiasi utente è in grado di fare. In circa un ora ho configurato il tutto solo con il mio smartphone. La velocità di banda è molto alta, soprattutto considerando che il segnale viene rimandato e gestito tra i vari satelliti esclusivamente in via wireless. Ho abbinato un satellite aggiuntivo per una copertura extra e più ampia e devo dire che nonostante i muri super spessi son riuscito a coprire tutta la casa divisa in 3 piani (circa 80 mq per piano). Consigliatissimo per coprire tutta l’abitazione senza tirare nessun cavo! In 6 mesi di utilizzo il sistema non ha mai dato nessun problema.

Just installed. Seems to work great so far.Orbi 352s look very clean and have no unsightly antennas.Setup was extremely easy, step-by-step and straight forward similar to installing an Apple device.Speedtest shows over 300mbps which is also what I have subscribed to my ISP.Mani Router placed in hall.Satellite placed 30 feet away in guest bedroom. Provides full coverage and no weak spots in my 3 BHK apartment 2500 SFTCurrently placed both devices at table height.The devices are easy to topple due to their narrow design.Planning to wall mount a bit higher to avoid any obstruction. Ordered wall mounts on amazon (Rs1699)May use a router UPS for the satellite as my main router is already backed up by inverter.Signal in one of the bathrooms automatically converts to 2.4Ghz since it is outside of 5ghz range.My phones and devices seamlessly connect to most viable connection without any manual intervention.The Orbi app let’s you see which satellite you are connected to and current speed.Devices are sitting in well ventilated spots and are not heating up.Older 2.4ghz devices including Bose SoundTouch and Philips wiz smart lights paired without any trouble or having any gimicks.Best part is full ISP plan speed is now possible. I have migrated from my Apple AirPort Extreme router which is throttling download speed to half of my ISP plan.A higher configuration router or buying more satellites would have been an overkill for my needs.Hope this helps buyers with questions.
