RBK853
Hi, Looking at maybe purchasing the RBK853 or 753. Looking through reviews there does seem to be fair few issues with the 853 and compatibility with some streaming services as well as poor range....
I haven't seen any problems streaming or gaming iwth my system. Coverage is very good. Placement and distance is key to good coverage.
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
Can30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

There seems to be an issue with NEST controllers. I'm currently working with NG engineering on this one. Hopeing to get it resolved.
Some are having problems with DNS errors, however some express that if IPv6 is disabled on the RBR, and or PC, this seems to help on this. Some have not experienced this issue at all. Seems to be some what ISP specific as well.
Something consider and if you buy, get one from a place with a good refund policy.
