Finally received my RBK852 on the 29th. I had just jumped on a $150 discount from Amazon and was worried because Amazon had missed the first delivery date. Installed it with the IOS Orbi app and updated the firmware during setup.

 

Comments:

  • used the same SSID as my previous RBK50 setup, all connections restored automatically, IoT devices included
  • ISP speed test: download 769.8 Mbps, upload 32.2 Mbps
  • router main floor, satellite in basement office, 3 story, home (2200 sq ft)
  • basement desktop cable connection to satellite, Link speed (Receive/Transmit): 1000/1000 (Mbps)
  • basement laptop with wifi 6 card, wireless connection to satellite, 5 GHz band, channel 48, Link speed (Receive/Transmit): 1201/1201 (Mbps)

So far, I am happy with this investment. My prior Orbi, the RBK50 with one satellite served me well for many years. Especially since I switched to the Voxel firmware about 2 years ago. Everything got quicker and absolutely no drops. But for now, the Netgear firmware with the 852 is doing its job - very pleased.
