Both of the mesh Wi-Fi 6 systems in this versus guide provide a coverage area of up to 7,500 sq. ft. Simultaneous Tri-band Wi-Fi Specifications Using iPerf, which is a free software tool that can measure bandwidth between two nodes in a computer network and the quality of a network link, we first tested our existing BT wireless using our main PC as the server and our iPhone 12 as the client. The test options were 5 streams with a duration of 5 minutes. As you can see from the graph below, the new Orbi Wi-Fi 6 is far faster than the previous model, the RBK50. It is clear as "If you do need help, the support that Netgear provides is excellent. “, is an outright lie. Their support is a call center oversees that simply knows a set number of SIMPLE troubleshooting and that is it. Streams are particularly important with Wi-Fi 6, compared with the older 802.11ac Wi-Fi 5 standard. When Wi-Fi 6 devices connect, the router can decide to give each device its own stream, or a faster device can take multiple streams to boost the maximum throughput. Wi-Fi 5’s stream sharing is far more basic and restricted, and the standard is slower overall.

The Orbi RBK852 uses Qualcomm’s newest Networking Pro 1200 Wi-Fi chip with 1GB of RAM and 512MB of capacity for storing firmware and settings. It’s all powered by a quad-core processor that runs at a maximum of 2GHz. It has an AX6000 rating. The two Netgear Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Systems have the same system requirements, which you can find below: I got smart and switched the satellites. Interestingly, the satellite I brought to the basement from the second floor, which previously never had a problem, began to display this behavior. The router and satellite units of the RBK853 are also bigger in size when compared to the router and satellite units of the RBK753.https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-AX/RBR850-frequently-issuing-DNS-REFUSED-responses/td-p/1926055 As is common with mesh systems, the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 RBK852 presents both networks under the same name. Devices are then pushed towards the best band based on performance and capability. Fast roaming also ensures devices are pushed to connect to the closest satellite to ensure the best performance on devices that can be moved, such as laptops and mobile phones.

The Orbi Mobile a phone app is used to set up the Wi-Fi networking. You can also use this application to run speed tests, manage Netgear subscription services, see what devices are currently connected and more. Support Satellite knows that it is wired but doesn't see the router, leading it to try to establish a wireless connection. With just the RBR850 router set up, it moved 883.6Mbps to the receiving device 15-feet away. While this is off the pace set by high-performance routers, like the Netgear Nighthawk AX8 (RAX80) (at 1.389Gbps), it easily beat out other mesh kits, like the TP-Link Deco X20 (at 622.1Mbps) and the Arris SURFboard mAX Pro (at 820.3Mbps). Netgear has two similar Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 Systems with the RBK753 and RBK853 models. So, what are the main differences between these two products?

Router and Satellites Antennas

Thanks to Wi-Fi 6, the internal wireless specs are far higher than on the original system. There are four 5GHz streams running at 2400Mbps and four 2.4GHz streams running at 1200Mbps. That’s double the number of streams than on the original, and each one runs faster. Here, each 5GHz stream runs at 600Mbps and each 2.4GHz stream at 2.4GHz. When compared to the RBK753 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System, the RBK853 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System provides faster wireless speeds, more simultaneous connected devices, more simultaneous streams, more LAN ports as well as a faster WAN port. With the RBK753, you can connect to more than 40 different devices simultaneously. You can connect to ever more, over 60 in fact, with the RBK853. Simultaneous Streams Is there anyone who has experience with Cisco's AnyConnect on an Orbi mesh network, that has noticed similar issues?

This setup is currently suffering from an extremely slow and annoying DNS issue. Feel free to search the community for more posts, as there are a lot of them. This one describes the issue and provides details around the issue. The RBK853 router and satellites use a faster processor when compared to the RBK753 router and satellites. The NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (RBK753) and NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System (RBK853) each comes with a 1-year Hardware Warranty. The router has a single 2.5 gigabit per second (Gbps) WAN input port for use with the newest modems. Both the router and satellite have four 1 Gbps LAN ports for connecting things like a printer and NAS storage, but no USB port. Both have a recessed reset button. Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 (RBK852) review: Performance

As was the case with the original system, the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 RBK852 is set up and managed through the Orbi app. As well as making it easy to get going, the app also provides remote access to the router – handy, if you need to reboot the router while you’re out and about. One (1) 2.5Gbps multi-Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, Four (4) 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports The RBK753 is capable of supporting 8 simultaneous streams while the RBK753 is capable of supporting 12 streams at the same time. Router and Satellites Processor The RBK753 and RBK853 are equipped with the same amount of LAN and WAN ports. With that said, the WAN port of the RBK853 supports faster speeds than the WAN port of the RBK753. The first thing to report is that these are the highest wireless speeds we’ve received in any product we have tested to date. Compared to the TP-Link Deco X20 which peaked at 397 Mbps and previous Netgear Orbi systems at even less, the RBK853 is in a different class. In two locations where our usual BT wireless could not even match our internet connection of 50Mbps, here the Orbi triple set comfortably filled that void and smashed the speeds usually received.

The satellite on the second floor has nothing hard-wired to it except ethernet in from the router. The satellite in the basement has ethernet in from the router, and three ethernet out connections, one of which goes to my workstation for work. It makes me think that when a computer that is hard-wired into the satellite establishes such a connection, it causes the satellite to think it is no longer a part of the home router's network. Each router and satellite unit of the RBK753 mesh system comes with six internal antennas with amplifiers. The router and satellite unit of the RBK853 mesh system each comes with eight internal antennas with amplifiers. Router PortsIf your internet service provider gives you enough speed for both of these devices, we recommend getting the RBK853 as you can take advantage of the extra bandwidth to get faster Wi-Fi speeds in addition to having more connected devices and simultaneous streams. RBK753 vs. RBK853 Comparison Chart We could go on all day. There are dozens of other meshes out there, with designs and capabilities to suit almost every need, all priced much more cheaply than the RBK863. Greater wireless bandwidth should help the system if you need to add more satellites. Currently, it’s expensive to add satellites; but we expect Netgear to release cheaper, slightly slower options later, much as it did with the existing Orbi range.
