Planning to purchase Orbi. Have few questions
Hello, i am staying in 3 floored townhome. Currently i have Netgear R8500 AC5300 router. I have placed the router in 2nd floor. I am getting good internet speeds with 5ghz connection in my 1st, 2...
We have a 2000 sq foot single level home with Xfinity 200MBps service. The house is U-shaped with the Xfinity modem in the lower right corner of the U. With my Asus 68U I was able to achieve 30-50 MBps in the far reaches of the house.
With the RBK50, I am getting 150-250 MBps at a minimum everywhere and about 850 close to the router or satellite with AC Apple devices.
I thought about getting the RBK53 but thought I would try the 50 first to see if it met my needs and would return it for the 53 if it didn't work. I couldn't be more pleased with the RBK50.
I am using the Asus router as an ethernet attached Access Point to the Orbi router with the radios on the Asus disabled. I attached my USB hard drive, where I keep my music, to the Asus and it works perfectly with my Sonos system.
Total setup time was about 1 hour. Great product.
