Innformation Required for Netgear Orbi AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Tri-Band Mesh System (RBK652S-100NAS)
Dear Community Members, I want to buy Orbi AX3000 Wi-Fi 6 Tri-Band Mesh System (RBK652S-100NAS) . I have two questions. (1) It is tri band router. Does it support following two 5 GHz bands 36-46 ...
This is "sort of" tri-band system consisting of
- an RBR750 tri-band router, plus
- an RBS350 dual-band satellite

The user manual points out (page 133) that the User Facing 5G is set to
- channel 48 for the router and
- channel 157 for the satellite

Orbi routers can be "managed" from the internet using the Orbi 'app' (similar to the Nighthawk app used for Nighthawk routers. The app monitors and controls the very most basic features of the system. Anything remotely advanced requires a web connection which is not available from the internet.
Honestly, no one has ever mentioned Samsung phones not connecting to Orbi WiFi systems.
In my (personal) view, this is a very unusual combination of equipment, designed to cost slightly less than more capable packages.
