Just asking about the differences between Orbi models RBK53 and RBK53S ? Is there any extra features in the second model ?

Hi Tariq_37 RBK53 and RBK53S do have the same performance and functionality. The main difference is RBK53S has a free 1-year subscription for NETGEAR Armor and no USB port. Regards, Blanca Community Team

    AFAIK the USB 2.0 port in place on the RBR50 and the RBS50 (making the RBK53 kit) has no function - no ReadyShare, no USB storage support, no USB network sharing, .... so it was pretty save to remove.
