rbk40 vs rbk20
Already decided to purchase a kit RBK40+satelite, when I was trying to buy through Amazon I noticed that was a new model called RBK20 (on the amazon appeared as "new model"). Then I search on Netgear...
Key specs to look for are wireless connection rates and over all home coverage sq footageL
RBR40:
| Combined WiFi speed | 2,200 Mbps (400 + 866 + 866Mbps) |
| Coverage | 4,000 sq ft |
| Dedicated Backhaul | 2x2 (866 Mbps) |
| WiFi Technology | Tri-band |
4GB flash and 512MB RAM
RBR20
| Orbi AC2200 Router and AC2200 Satellites (866+866+400Mbps) | |
| Coverage | 5,000 sq ft |
| Dedicated Backhaul | 2x2 |
| WiFi Technology | Tri-band |
Router: 4GB Flash and 512MB RAM
Satellites: 256MB Flash and 512MB RAM each
Seem very similar.
How big is your home sq ft?
I would try the 40 kit first.
Thanks a lot.
Yes I believe they are very similar. My home is less than 4000 sq ft, two floors. So both systems fits.
The only thing that bothers me is Netgear have two products on portfolio for the same coverage.............
Ya seems like there really trying to squeeze out different products.
I have the RB40 system in my 5000 sqft place. Awesome system.
Let us know what you decide.
