Rbk853 unavailable

I would review and compare the spec sheets for each system. Look at the wifi connection rates listed at the bottom of each system. This and MIMO and stream data information will tell you what system does and compare the two.
Where did you hear about Orbi AX being discontinued?
Orbi AX is still listed in NGs shop:
The system hasn't been out for a year yet. NG doesn't make something and spend lots of design and development money on something that they would turn around and discontinue it.

I was not clear - I understand the point regarding the equivalency of ethernet throughput. My question is does the WiFi performance of the NG Mesh System compare to the Orbi? My understanding is that it does not but I don’t have any real world experience to back that up.
The answer may very well be to wait for the Orbi to be restocked if it is not being discontinued as was reported.
