ORBI RBK53 vs RBK53S

Just asking about the differences between Orbi models RBK53 and RBK53S ? Is there any extra features in the second model ?

Hi @Tariq_37

 

RBK53 and RBK53S do have the same performance and functionality. The main difference is RBK53S has a free 1-year subscription for NETGEAR Armor and no USB port.

AFAIK the USB 2.0 port in place on the RBR50 and the RBS50 (making the RBK53 kit) has no function - no ReadyShare, no USB storage support, no USB network sharing, .... so it was pretty save to remove.

Possible it was removed for v2 or just wasn't included in the pictures used the spec sheets. Would have to see a physical RBRv2 to see this...

Re: ORBI RBK53 vs RBK53S

Thanks guys.. But also comparing both data sheets I noticed differences in the weight of each unit (RBK53 more heavy) and the flash memory. I am not sure about other features like Circle support as well. Also after searching, RBK53S is not available outside the US. Any other differences infos and features between both to share please !!

Might ask NG support what all is and isn't supported.

"Free" (snicker)  How about, "Included in the product cost is a one year subscription."
