However as it is placed in middle floor bedroom, it was fine up and down but poor in the back room downstairs and in the garden. Having tried the Archer router, that just wasn’t reaching but also, it kept dropping internet connection. Thoroughly researching Orbi, I did note potential issues with both the Ring doorbell and potentially Sky Q. Despite dreading the set up, I took the plunge and started set up on Saturday morning expecting a full day of trial and error. I was done in an hour and most of that was spent connecting the sky boxes and tv’s again. Really simple when following the app. Don’t deviate from the app instructions though. What a piece of kit! I am blown away by the power. I’ve got 350mbs coming into the house. Wherever I am in the house I am getting in excess of 200mbs everywhere including at the back of the garden. The speed of course fluctuates but with the satellite in the back room, it’s generally sending consistent tests of 300, 310, 320mbs in there. In the middle room downstairs and the second floor (only a satellite on ground floor), the speed is not dropping below 150mbs and comes in consistently at over 200mbs. Put into perspective, In the same places, the virgin hub alone was generating no more than around 40mbs in those same areas, max. Too early to talk about reliability but the virgin hub was struggling with so many connections - 2 gamers online, one daughter watching Netflix and the other half working on the laptop. So far, the orbi is handling around 30 devices and having no issues. One bit of advice on set up - when putting the Virgin hub in modem mode, the orbi may tell you there’s no internet. Leave the app on that screen, Pull all power wires from the virgin hub, leave five minutes and then turn on again. Wait and then the orbi should then pick it up automatically. Yes it is just under £100 more than the TP-Link Archer router but in my opinion, it’s a worthwhile investment over anything else. The speeds are incredible. They aren’t too ugly either in my opinion. Whether it’s extended range, better performance or a mesh system, I highly highly recommend this. I haven’t needed tech support but scored a 5 as app is easy enough. Review: Straightforward to setup and consistently fast Wifi speeds - I’ve got BT Fibre broadband (home hub 5) which connected about 50 devices...including Philips Hue, Sonos, Sky Q, Xbox, Alexa and a number of Apple devices. I used Powerline plugs to connect the main Sky Q and Xbox devices to the hub. The home hub worked okay but the wifi speeds would often drop out. I found I was turning the Powerline plugs off and on to restore connections and in worst case scenarios rebooting the router itself. The Orbi Wifi router and 2 x Orbi Satellites was a lot of money but well worth the investment. I luckily had an OpenReach broadband fibre modem in the loft from when I first had my broadband connection. I found Orbi struggled to work with the Homehub even in AP mode. However once I overcame that hurdle, the rest of the setup was very straightforward. I plugged the Wifi router into the modem (as per the clear instructions), waited for the Orbi router to shine a solid white and plugged the Ethernet cable from the router into my PC so I could complete the wizard based setup. Don’t worry though, its also possible to do this by connecting to its wifi siid and default password. The setup was very easy and of course if you rename the siid to match what your wifi was before...and use the same password, then all your existing devices at home will just start to work again without having to re-enter any details. All that was left to do was to put my other two satellites in the house. One was on the landing upstairs and the other was in the lounge and you turn these on and they connect automatically which is confirmed when the light on these turns a solid blue (which doesn’t stay on forever). The wifi signal has been really strong, fast and reliable ever since...for all my devices. The only consideration will be if your existing router is a combined modem and wifi router (e.g. BT home Hub). Its possible to turn off the wifi for the home hub...but Orbi still Struggled until I replaced it with just the OpenReach modem which then had an ethernet cable from the modem to the Orbi router. After that, its been brilliant. Maybe other home routers (other than BT) may have better config options to allow it to become a modem only setup, allowing Orbi to focus on being a Wifi router....which with its three channels, it does really well. I recommend! ## Features - Mesh Wi-Fi network adding up to 6000 sq ft coverage for the whole home - Maximum internet speeds with tri-band Wi-Fi helps deliver fast internet speeds even as more devices connect - Simple setup in minutes when you use the Orbi app or a web browser to create your own seamless mesh Wi-Fi network - Includes 1-year of advanced cyber threat protection with NETGEAR Armor - Universally compatible with all UK ISP modems/routers including BT, Sky, Virgin and Plusnet - Works with desertcart Echo/Alexa - control your home network using voice commands ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07T4CJBDG | | Antenna Location | Home | | Antenna Type | Fixed | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,523 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 19 in Whole Home & Mesh Wi-Fi Systems | | Box Contents | One (1) Orbi Router (RBR50v2), Two (2) Orbi Satellites (RBS50v2), One (1) 6.5 ft Ethernet cable, Three (3) 12V/2.5A power adapters, Quick start guide | | Brand Name | NETGEAR | | Colour | White | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer, Smart Television, Smartphone, Tablet | | Connectivity Protocol | Wi-Fi | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Control Method | Voice | | Controller Type | Voice Control | | Country of Origin | China | | Coverage | Up to 6000 square feet | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (1,849) | | Data Transfer Rate | 3 Gigabits Per Second | | Frequency | 5 GHz | | Frequency Band Class | Tri-Band | | Has Internet Connectivity | Yes | | Has Security Updates | Yes | | Is Modem Compatible | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 24.4L x 24.1W x 29.2H centimetres | | Item Weight | 240 Grams | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 1000 Mbps | | Manufacturer | NETGEAR | | Manufacturer Part Number | RBK53S-100UKS | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 3000 Megabits Per Second | | Model Name | Orbi | | Model Number | RBK53s | | Number of Antennas | 3 | | Number of Ports | 8 | | Operating System | Windows | | Other Special Features of the Product | WPS | | Router Network Type | Wi-Fi | | Security Protocol | WPS | | UPC | 606449143997 | | Voltage | 100 Volts | | Wi-Fi Generation | Wi-Fi 5 | | Wireless Compability | 802.11ac | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NETGEAR - **Colour:** White - **Compatible devices:** Laptop, Personal Computer, Smart Television, Smartphone, Tablet - **Connectivity technology:** Wi-Fi - **Frequency band class:** Tri-Band - **Model name:** Orbi - **Recommended uses for product:** Home - **Special feature:** WPS - **Wireless communication standard:** 802.11ac ## Images ![RBK53S, - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51GDZMHPcxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Followed set up and Orbi now in my network list but says ‘no internet connection’ in orange under it???** A: We would like to help you, but we would need more information to do so. Have you tried connecting to the RBK53S network with different devices? Have you tried connecting to the RBK53S by cable? If you have any questions, you can also check out our community NETGEAR. Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon UK **Q: It says up to 2.2gb in spec, but description says” works with any internet service provider plan up to 200mbps”?? what if i have 500mb internet** A: I think this question refers to the Orbi RBK53 series devices. They run AC3000 WiFi. There is a useful comparison table in the Orbi product description on the Amazon website that shows the different internet speeds supported. The specs refer to both the internal network speed and the external connection capability. I don’t know why the two should be different but it looks like the router connection speed is the limiting factor here rather than the WiFi. So the AC3000 is only an indication. The RBK53-100UKS says up to 500mbps, but Orbi have then confused things by saying up to 200mbps in the more detailed descriptions. I eventually bought the RBK852 (WiFi 6), because it provides some future proofing if I upgrade the internet connection. If I was wanting to run at speeds of 500mbps, I’d spend a bit more and get WiFi 6. I have to say these devices do work really well on the WiFi side. **Q: Do these work great with virgin media & sky q boxes? Any one with same setup found it works well? Virgin&skyQ thanks** A: I am with Virgin Media and the Orbi set-up works perfectly. You just have to set the VM router to modem only and you can find how to do this on YouTube, it’s extremely simple. I really recommend Orbi, it’s been a lifesaver with 3 of us working from home. **Q: What is the maximum number of satellites?** A: Dear Amazon Customer, Thank you for your interest in the NETGEAR Orbi Ultimate Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System RBK53S The advised number of Satellites is 3, it might be possible to add more but this might impact the network performance and there is no guarantee that it would work. If you have any questions, you can also check out our NETGEAR Community at any time.
