orbi rbk50 help
just got the Orbi rbk50 to try it out to see how it performs so my issue that it doesn't connect to satellite unless it close by so not sure why it has to be close i thought this was a system to use...
okay yeah i purchased the orbi to see what difference it would be vs rax5400 so really not a difference i got 30 days
to try out and return so im see how it goes
yeah coverage is really not my issue i just want some that give me a constant wifi connection for my wifi device such as my wifi security cams my firesticks
oh so the orbi wouldn't be good for ps4 online gameplay yes or no
well im not sure if in the future if i will have wifi 6 devices what are some wifi 6 devices
is the rbk5 wif5 or 6
RBK50 is WiFi5.
I do not play internet games, so have no personal experience. Will be keeping my RBK50 for some time, as there is only one device in the house that supports WiFi6 (iPhone) and it is almost never taken out of a purse.

oh ok so the orbi would be still good for future
Hello bigmoe80,
Welcome to the NETGEAR Community!
WiFi5 is feasible for most use cases. However, the need for wireless internet depends on the user. If you are going to add Wi-Fi 6 or AX systems to your network it would be best to upgrade to WiFi6. If most of your devices use WiFi5 then you would not be able to get the desired WiFi6 speeds on those devices.
Let me know if you have any additional questions!
Best,
Kevin
