New Netgear Orbi RBK852 Bugs
I purchased the new Netgear Orbi Wifi 6 router and satellite from my local Best Buy yesterday. The new router is starting to be released nationwide. It was so frustrating trying to get the route...
Looks like you got a good unit then. There's another review on Best Buy where the person is on their 3rd unit already. Their first unit reported the same problem where the Satellite wouldn't connect. Maybe the 5Ghz dedicated band works better than backhaul? Not sure.. but maybe I'll try the router again in a year once all the major issues are resolved.
Yes, in ideal world, Wi-Fi 6 backhaul should perform better in terms of speed (in terms of stability, it may vary depends on the physical environment around it)
What I keep wondering from both reportings from here and from BB's customer review section, is RBK852 supports wired backhaul to begin with? I can't fine any detailed spec about it from neither netgear's own product page/documentation nor on Best Buy/Amazon's listed specs.
Sort of frustrating the Netgear's support site for the RBK852 has the product data sheet and installation guide, but no User Manual.
