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 personally went with the RBK753 system and love it. It has great coverage and is reliable and fast. I currently have 23 plus devices connected with no issues whatsover. My company also installs mesh systems. The most popular models we install are the RBK53 and RBK753, depending on whether the customer wants or needs AX wireless mode.

Thnkas for the quick and comporehensive replies!
I'm thinking that the 853 is massive overkill given I have a small 3 bed house with around 49m2 ground floor. The router will be upstairs probably 15m as the crow flies from the satelite. Also, do I really need AX? Ther will be about a max of 6 devices connected of which only two are AX compatible. I dont do any gaming, just browsing and streaming of course. I like the idea of future proofing (as much as you can with IT!) but not keen on wasting money either.
Thanks
