RBK43 vs RBK53

I just purchased the Orbi RBK43 and when I went online to set it up I realized there's also a RBK53. Is the 53 faster, cover more footage or offer any other features?

    The RBK53 has usb ports you cannot use! :) Except maybe for slowly charging something. Maybe a use in the future for them, but keep in mind they are USB 2.0 speed.
