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.

Super-fast multi-room WiFi system

  • I have WiFi everywhere in the house, without having to pull cables
  • I connect all my devices at the same time without slowing down the network
  • Installation is a piece of cake
  • The stations are very big
With WiFi 6, the Orbi RBK853 not only provides a faster connection between my router and devices. The connection is also better and faster between the points of the Orbi Multiroom WiFi system. This way I can use this Multiroom WiFi system wirelessly on all floors of my house. While that was not possible with a WiFi 5 mesh system. Because of the thick ceilings in my house, I had to use cables between the WiFi points. Thanks to the Orbi RBK853, I also have fast and stable WiFi in the attic. Something that wasn't possible before. So really great progress! I am also very happy with the speed that the system achieves on my Samsung Galaxy S10. The WiFi speed is faster than I ever got. Partly because of this, I also get the maximum download speed of my internet connection in the attic. Thanks to the Orbi WiFi 6, streaming is no problem at all, wherever I am in the house. I also notice that I do this with several devices at the same time. The Orbi is a powerful system, allowing you to connect to dozens of devices at the same time. Even starting two streams and playing games at the same time does not affect the stability. The Orbi RBK853 is therefore suitable for busy households in my opinion. Of course there are also some downsides. For example, I don't constantly get the fastest speed, possibly because I'm not always connected to the nearest station. I solve this by turning the wifi off and on again. In addition, Orbi's stations are very large. You don't put them out of sight that easily. The front appears to be made of fragile plastic. That is disappointing for a product of this price.

Expensive but you get something in return

  • Easy to set up
  • Speed
  • Speed!!
  • Slightly less range than my previous AP (Engenius) due to brick walls
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!
