Orbi RBR750 system not working near router
Hello, I am having so many issues and can’t figure out what is the problem. I setup my orbi RBR750 3 pack that I bought from Costco around July of 2020. It worked fine, it could support lots of device...

Might try the Orbi Pro if you feel you wanna try it. You might look at the Pro forum to see if there are others having problems with it or not or if there are any odd things going on with it. I don't have one so I can't give any feed back.
I'd recommend looking at D-Link. I don't think they have anything with higher wifi AX mode rates though. They seem to be entry level to mid grade stuff.
I don't recommend anything TP-Link.
I left Linksys years ago and haven't looked back.

In the "my setup" on yours, I see you are using a RBK853. How is that working for you? Is it reliable and is it fast enough? Where did you get the RBK853 from?

Other than the small bumps in the road since getting it and some NEST controller problems last year which seem fixed. It's been solid. Have enjoyed it for the most part. I do worry sometimes when new FW udpates come out however I have back up wifi that I can put online while testing the new stuff out. Once it's deemed good, then I go live with it on the house hold network. Got it from NG.

Do you think think this setup will be reliable enough?
ISP provided modem/router with wireless capabilities off--> RBK853 router--> two RBK853 sataellites
SInce i pay for the same speeds as you, What speeds are you receiving wirelessly on a normal day to day basis from the RBK853?
Sorry if it seems like i am asking too many questions. Its just that i want something that will be reliable enough for a while and something that just works.

If you can use the modems DMZ, would be helpful and this would help keep you using the RBR as a router.

With my 12 Max phone, any where from 500-700Mpbs depending on where I'm at. My Mac Book pro, any where from 700-800Mbps. If I use my ASUS GT-AX11000 in wireless bridge mode which it is most of the time, usually 900Mpbs with a wired PC behind it.

Ask away man.
