Orbi AC 3000, RBK50

[BillLrdn]

I am considering purchasing a Netgear Model: Orbi AC 3000, RBK50.  I currently do not have high speed internet service from my provider.  I checked the speed of my service and my download speed is approx. 113 Mbps and upload speed is 9-10 Mbps. Will I notice an improvement in service with the Orbi system or am I buying too much horsepower for the internet service that I currently have?  I do not want to spend the extra money my internet provider wants for their high speed service.

tough to say with the info you've provided. 

Orbi is great at providing overall coverage and range. Its not going to be as fast for peak speeds as a flagship router but better overall coverage. But based on your speeds, you don't need peak speeds.

But without knowing house size, house materials, devices connecting, etc. its tough to tell you if it'll be better than what you have. Which you didn't say what you have currently. 

I do know that my orbi does better at covering my whole home than my singe RAX200 did but quite a bit. And thats in a 3200 sqft home with sheetrock/wood walls.

It would be more than sufficient for your ISP speeds.
