What is the difference between Orbi SRK60 and Orbi RBK53? They have same hardware specs....

SRK60 v. RBK63

They have the same hardware. What are the actual differences? Why would I buy the SRK60 when the RBK53 does same work?

Thanks

Thanks St-shaw! I didn't look at the features only the hardware. They seem identical from a hardware perspective when I campared the spec sheets. I don't need the Pro version.

Does anyone know the real difference between these models? I don't want to pay nearly $100 more for the same capability.

Did you look at the product pages for Orbi and Orbi Pro?

The pro has different packaging, and wall mount brackets.  Orbi Pro has completely different firmware, providing three isolated WiFi networks. Some say the network isolation on Pro is better than the home Orbi. Some say the Pro is more robust and reliable.  I've had no issues with my non-Pro Orbi, so I don't know if that's true.

I suspect the internal hardware is virtually identical between the two, with the firmware providing the differences.
