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.

Thanks guys.. But also comparing both data sheets I noticed differences in the weight of each unit (RBK53 more heavy) and the flash memory. I am not sure about other features like Circle support as well. Also after searching, RBK53S is not available outside the US. Any other differences infos and features between both to share please !!

    "Free" (snicker)  How about, "Included in the product cost is a one year subscription."
