Pros and cons

According to our router expert

• The second 5GHz band of this router makes the connection more stable, because it uses the other band when one band is full.
• Connect 4 devices to this router via the Ethernet ports to make your connection as stable as possible.
• This router supports WiFi 6, so you can set up a faster connection and have better coverage
• This router is slower than comparable routers at larger distances because the 5GHz speed is 2400Mbps.
• This router lacks the 6GHz band that WiFi 6E routers have, which makes the connection close to your router slower.

Description

With the Netgear Orbi RBK853 3-Pack, you can provide fast internet throughout the house. The stations each use 2 bands with 5GHz. They use 1 band to connect to other stations and 1 band for your other devices. This makes the speed of your WiFi much faster anywhere in the house. You also have less interference from a large number of devices. Each station has 4 ports with a 1Gbps speed, so you can connect wired devices to the routers for a connection that never fails. Thanks to the high speed, you won't worry about movies or games slowing down.

Ideal system if speed and range take precedence over price

• very good range despite a lot of concrete
• big speed gain. Proximus WiFi
• configuration after a Proximus BBOX3 does require expertise

I hesitated for a long time, but many reviews agreed. This Orbi Wifi 6 is the fastest of the fastest and that's a fact! Without interference you will get the same speed as a 1Gbps cable (if your device supports it of course).
You have to dig into your wallet for it. It's not cheap, but if you simply want to get the fastest WiFi and you don't want to see a difference between cable or WiFi, this is it!

If you have a lot of retaining walls or have to go through ceilings, I recommend buying extra satellites. From the moment you have to go through one or more stone walls, you lose that optimal speed. Not that it goes slow (100Mbps is still perfectly feasible), but you don't buy something like that for that.

There are now 5 stations spread throughout the house with wired backbone and perfect coverage everywhere. What's also really cool is the fact that your device transfers seamlessly to another station if that gives you better coverage and without a hitch in your speed or connection. Mesh for the win!

What a party! Special to see how with this Wifi 6 Orbi all connected devices easily have the maximum Wifi speed (up and download) of my Ziggo abbo (250 up / 50 down) during a Speedtest. Everywhere in the house!!. The installation took less than 10 minutes, with clear software My old Wifi router had many Wifi issues because of many a million networks in my neighborhood (tourists / center of Amsterdam) and tried to fix it with official Ziggo eitenders, but this gave low speeds and Mhz band issues. Now everything works insanely well.
Price is worth swallowing - duo set only needed for long range (the case with us) - but with sublime quality I hope to be able to go on for at least 8 years. Highly recommended, simple for the user. Finally carefree WiFi.
