RBR50 with Quantum fiber
So I just got Quantum fiber installed after having spectrum cable internet for years. I know the RBR50/RBS50 are legacy mesh systems by now. The Quantum installer brought 3 of their mesh pods for me ...
Thanks for your comprehensive reply. I probably have some wifi6 capable devices (iPhones, Apple TV, laptop). Not worth upgrading my old Orbi, but might be worth trying the pods quantum gave me. The pods are included with my service so no added monthly charges. The pods are model Q9500WK. How would I go about signing the pods the same Wi-Fi credentials to the pods so all my network devices would see the pods just as they see the Orbi? From what I understand the pods are Wi-Fi 6. Not sure if I would notice anything different with them as all my devices are working fine with the higher speeds that I’m getting from the Quantum fiber.
Does this product appear to match?

How do I Connect and Control my Pods?
("using the 360 WiFi app")
My guess is that any WiFi6 capable devices will report a higher internet Speed Test when connected to one of these pods than when connected to the Orbi system. Of course, a video will stream only as fast as it streams. Music will play. web pages will open 1/2 second faster.
