Review: Stunning piece of Technology - Installing the Orbi means my Client no longer wants to fire me - it’s literally saved my job. Working from home during Lockdown for 12 months now - alongside 2 teens homeschooling and a Mac user wife has been an utter nightmare. BT fibre 75Mb at the hub location , degrades to less than 20Mb on the top floor of a 4 storey townhouse. Dropped Teams calls and busy PM periods losing the connection entirely - meant I was about to be fired. Simply couldn’t do my job properly. I tried everything - new external line; new socket, new BT Hub, Wi-Fi extenders, upgraded powerlines, x2 5G home hubs (Vfone no connection/EE completely unstable.) Then I read about the Orbi. Yes it’s massively expensive and completely overpriced, but I’ve billed that to my Client and it’s saved my job. Installed in 5mins, worked first time. Devices roam cleverly from the main router to the satellite as you move around the house. And now on the top floor I get the exact same WiFi speed as when sat right on top of the main router. WiFi6 is completely amazing and rock solid. I am utterly impressed. Wired devices just as stable, but not really needed as the WiFi is as stable as any Ethernet connection I’ve experienced. No issues with dual-band roaming - 10yr old printer happy at 2.5, new iPhones living their best lives on 5Ghz. My single best purchase of Lockdown (and I’ve been buying so much that desertcart wrote to me asking if I was actually a business!) Do NOT hesitate to buy this kit - it will change your life, as it has mine.
Review: 100% recommend this Mesh System!!!! - I am thrilled with my NETGEAR Orbi Mesh WiFi System (RBK852) and wanted to share a detailed review of my experience. After using it for over a month, I can confidently say that it has been a game-changer for my home network. One of the standout features for me is the consistent and reliable connection. Not a single drop in the network has occurred since I installed the Orbi system. This reliability is crucial, especially when you're working from home, and interruptions can be quite frustrating. In terms of performance, I upgraded to Virgin Gigabit broadband, and the Orbi system has seamlessly handled the increased speed. Even when conducting Speedtests from the furthest room in my standard three-bedroom house in the UK, the WiFi 6 Mesh Router and satellite extender have consistently delivered impressive speeds (see pic). This is a noticeable improvement compared to my previous TP-Link setup. Speaking of the setup, I opted for the two-piece system – one connected to my Virgin modem and the satellite strategically placed at the furthest point of my house. This configuration has provided excellent coverage throughout, eliminating any dead zones. It's worth noting that I work alongside two others who are also working from home, and we've experienced no issues with simultaneous internet usage. I appreciate the scalability of the Orbi system. While my current setup suits my three-bedroom house, I can see how additional satellites might be necessary for larger homes. The flexibility to expand based on your specific needs is a great feature. Overall, the NETGEAR Orbi Mesh WiFi System has exceeded my expectations. If you're in a similar situation, dealing with multiple users working from home and seeking a reliable, high-performance WiFi solution, I highly recommend the Orbi system. It has proven to be a worthy investment, providing not only seamless connectivity but also peace of mind.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work with virgin media hub or does it bypass that all-together?  are instructions available so that i can see what install involves?**
A: It can do both. I’ve put my virgin router in modem mode because the Orbi is just so much better as a wired/wifi hub.

**Q: Do I have to subscribe to armor” security ?**
A: Please don’t! Netgear Armor is an additional service that comes at a price and has limited functions on this router. In other routers, Armor offers a lot of security functions but with this model you can only have the basic functions at the same price. Also, they activate the auto-renewal by default and stopping this is a nightmare as their customer service has no idea of how to deactivate this. After they charged me for an entire year, I asked to have the auto-renewal deactivated and they said there was no auto-revenewal. I contacted my payment provider and asked to cancel the auto-renewal but as soon as I did that they stopped my service, despite I have already paid for it. To be fair, your risk to activate a useless service that you will never be able to stop. It’s just not worth the effort.

**Q: Is this official wifi 6 or draft wifi 6 ?**
A: Dear Amazon Customer, 
Thank you for your interest in the NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System RBK852. Since the WiFi 6 standard has not yet been formalized by the organization that certifies the standards, WiFi 6 is still called draft. If you have any questions, you can also check out our community at any time https://community.netgear.com/t5/English/ct-p/English 
Best regards, NETGEAR Amazon UK

**Q: The model no rbk852-100eus implies this would have an eu style plug. can you confirm if ordered for a uk address it will have a different model number**
A: Dear Amazon Customer,
the RBK852 and all the other NETGEAR devices you can find in the Official Amazon UK Store, should all be delivered with the UK plug.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's one of the best... but it's too expensive.
*by M***R on 12 August 2024*

Bought this to upgrade our Orbi RBK53S (router plus two satellites - which we bought in 2017) as it was starting to struggle with our ever-increasing devices count (would occasionally reboot itself and drop connections when loaded). It worked really well other than that. So here we are now with the RBKE963. The pluses are that it's easy to set up, it is considerably faster on WiFi connected devices as well as being able to reach them further away and have a lot more of them connected concurrently. I also like having a separate network for IoT devices. And they physically look nice, which is just as well because they're huge and you can't really hide them. The negatives are they are outrageously expensive and Netgear have the cheek to slap annual subscriptions on top for facilities that should come as standard, such as parental controls and cybersecurity. That really irks and is primarily why it drops a ratings star. The other thing that ain't great is the app and the web user interface dashboard are both quite slow and buggy... neither reporting back what's connected accurately enough being one of my main gripes with them. And my experience with Netgear is that they never really get on top of their software upgrade fixes... usually correcting one thing but breaking another in the process. Having said that, I've tried a few cheaper mesh systems and - as you'd expect - they don't perform as well as this... particularly with their range of coverage. I wouldn't recommend this system to everyone looking for a mesh for their home... there are a lot of features on this that are simply overkill... but if you want to future proof your WiFi a bit... like having features such as separate Guest and IoT networks, wireless backhaul, expandability... and can afford it's ludicrous price tag... the RBKE963 is difficult to ignore. **UPDATE** I recently had to add another satellite to this (bought one used as at the time of writing, new ones cost silly money). Whilst WiFi signals were reaching the garden room (about 40 metres away from where the router is located, for the security camera and smart speaker in there) it wasn't quite enough for stable streaming performance (it was fine for switching on remote plugs in there though). Adding the extra satellite improved matters no end. In fact, performance improved in other areas of the home that would normally struggle, such as the kitchen - in which devices there would connect to the garden room satellite now rather than trying to battle their way through the WiFi-unfriendly microwave and fridge freezer interferences to attempt connectivity to the router. Even better performance was achieved by reducing the WiFi transmission power (accessed via the web interface dashboard) down from 100% to 25% to help decrease what I theorise as "WiFi distortion"... a bit like having the volume on your audio system turned up to full volume. The whole system now works flawlessly in all corners of the home. So for any of you having issues with this system's connectivity, consider more / better placed satellites and reduce transmission power and hopefully like me, you'll experience better all-round performance.
