RBK852-100EUS Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System, 11AX AX6000 (Up to 6Gbps) - White

Replaced 3 Linksys mesh WiFi nodes with this system and the change has been simply fantastic. No lagging, no spooling, no drop outs, no week signal. Expensive but worth it.

Great mesh wifi system. Covers my entire villa. Easy to setup and use. Recommended.

Recently upgraded my internet speed to 800Mbps. My old wireless system consisted of a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 paired with the Nighthawk AC1200 range extender. My speed tests came in at 89 to 75Mbps download and upload at 89 to 76Mbps at the extender. I placed the Orbi router and satellite in exactly the same position as the old gear. Download speed is now 360 to 650Mbps depending on time of day and the top speed reached was 900Mbps at 5am on the satellite end. Upload is a steady 190 all day long. Those speeds hold true for the upper storey of my 5 bedroom villa, and there are no dead spots. Yes, the Orbi 852 system is expensive, but I got mine at a 30% discount as the new Orbi wifi 6e (RBKE) has come out. So looks for deals. Setup speedy and easy and no problems so far. Techies do complain that the Orbi is not customizable enough for them. I have configured many a router, but I am quite happy with the Orbi’s hands off approach as will most consumers. I subtract one star for the high price as there are more affordable and customizable systems available. But according to all the reviews I read, the Orbi wins on range, speed, ease of use and updates are mostly bug free thanks to the less customizable software. Simple is good.

As is customary with Netgear, the hardware is excellent but the software is so bad that words fail me to describe it. If you buy this buy it for the WiFi performance and nothing else. The security services it offers over the top are overpriced and not much short of a total rip-off don't use them. Setting this up if you have a home network that is in anyway slightly abnormal, then it is a nightmare of pain and suffering to set up. However, once it is set up and working its great. So set it up and then never touch it again, BE VERY WARY of firmware updates that might force to to suffer the whole set up process again or worse screw up the functionality of the device. SUMMARY: Five stars for hardware. Loses 2 stars for terrible software and another star for the high price. Only buy if you are IT literate and can deal with Netgear's awful software and lack of support. UPDATE: DOWNGRADE TO ONE STAR. ACTUALLY IT SHOULD HAVE NEGATIVE 5 STARS IT IS SO BAD DO NOT BUY THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. I have been fighting with this product for a week. I can only conclude that the product is defective. The satellites constantly drop the WIFI connection and none of the things (I have tried everything) will improve it. It just gets worse and worse. I am returning this for a full refund and will replace it with something else. UPDATE 2 - UNIT RETURNED TO AMAZON: Spent an hour on the phone with support. Support determined that the device I had was faulty so have returned it for a full refund. (fast and excellent service from Amazon on that front). I have ordered another one and will update again when I have tried to install it. so for now keeping one star because I am not convinced that this is not a design flaw and that the next product I have wont have exactly the same issues. UPDATE 3 - 2ND UNIT JUST AS BAD AS THE FIRST. I bought a new unit and had all of the same problems. There is clearly a design decision Netgear made or a bug it has not found that prevents the Orbi from working with my main router. It is completely unusable. I use a linksys 3200acm as my main router. I am going to try the TP-LInk Decox60 instead which costs half as much and I expect will probably work 1000x better. The odd thing is that my old Orbi RBR50 worked perfectly but for some reason Netgear has totally screwed up the RBR850 and made it unusable. AVOID at all costs.

Excellent product and easy to install

Superb Product for the fastest mesh from Netgear. Good coverage and good features. Value for money 5⭐️

If you will use the 2 satellites with the router wirelessly, all will be good. If u want to add more satellites to that setup, good luck with that. I wish i would never upgraded from wifi5 orbi to 6, however the speed is very good if the satellites works over 5GZ connection with router, worth to mention that wired satellites will be out of syn and will never works. Unless u are a geek, dont add more satellites than 2

Klassischer Fall: ungünstiger Wohnungsschnitt + Routeranschluss in der letzten Ecke = WLAN-Probleme. Mit der FritzBox 7590 als DSL-Modem und WLAN Sender hatten wir ständig: Ping-Sprünge Verbindungsabbrüche Lags beim Gaming & Streaming Gerade in den Kinderzimmern und im Wohnzimmer war das einfach frustrierend. Die Lösung war das Orbi 870 System – die 7590 läuft jetzt nur noch als Modem. Wichtig: Ich bin absolut kein Technik-Profi. Die Einrichtung habe ich Schritt für Schritt zusammen mit ChatGPT gemacht – wirklich Screenshot für Screenshot durch die Einstellungen. Und trotzdem hat alles problemlos funktioniert. Seitdem: 👉 stabile Verbindung 👉 deutlich konstanter Ping (vorher 35–70 ms, jetzt konstant bei 20–30 ms) 👉 keine Abbrüche mehr im Alltag (der Buffering-Ring bei YouTube ist höchstens noch 1 Sekunde sichtbar) Selbst Bereiche der Wohnung, die vorher kaum nutzbar waren (z.B. Balkon-Nähe), haben jetzt stabiles Internet. Das Internet fühlt sich endlich so an, wie man es erwartet. Einziger kleiner Wermutstropfen: Ich hätte Netgear Armor gerne getestet, aber bei meinem refurbished Gerät war die Testlizenz leider schon abgelaufen. Das betrifft jedoch nur die Zusatz-Sicherheitssoftware – die WLAN-Leistung selbst ist top. Fazit: Auch ohne Technikkenntnisse lässt sich das System erfolgreich einrichten – und es löst echte WLAN-Probleme spürbar.

Pricey but then again so is a fast car or a big house. High end kit through and through. I still think the same as what I thought on the WiFi5 model.... literally the only thing I can think of to improve this mesh is some POE-powered ports for use with Satellites/APs locations where its difficult to sit the device next to a mains plug.

Super Geschwindugkeit und Reichweite. Aber: Installation mit Hürden. Nicht so easy wie im Netgear Video. App gibt kleine klaren Hinweise, warum etwas falsch gelaufen ist oder was am Besten zu ist. ACHTUNG: läuft mit Wifi 5 (>5 Gigaherz) Alte Geräte im Wlan-Netz mit Wlan 5 erhalten eventuell unter Wlan 6 keine Wlan signale!

Tremendo router wifi, caro pero que resuelve los problemas. Espero que su solidez en los próximos años justifiquen la inversión. Adquirí el RBK852 con un satélite. Mi fibra es Movistar 1GB simétrico con el router HGU-Mitrastar. Intenté ponerlo en modo bridge, pero no conseguí hacerlo funcionar; en modo AP funciona perfecto y la instalación no es nada complicada. Señal wifi sólida en toda la casa, tanto en subida como en bajada, estable y soportando muchos dispositivos. De hecho no se nota diferencia alguna trabajando cableado o con wifi, tanto si a la vez se esta viendo una serie en Netflix en 4k HDR como si no. Al ser Mesh ya nos hemos olvidado de ir cambiando de wifi según dónde estemos en la casa. Cumple a la perfección las expectativas.
