In this video, I review the Netgear Orbi. I have the RBK50 package, which includes one RBR50 and one RBS50. The Orbi is the fastest router I’ve ever tested, but it isn’t without its drawbacks.

![Testing ASUS [AiMesh] [Repeater] [Access Point] Whole-home WiFi](https://img.youtube.com/vi/5sagIw6_ofE/0.jpg "Testing ASUS [AiMesh] [Repeater] [Access Point] Whole-home WiFi")
I just added a 3 unit system to my house, and I’ve been in tech since the mid 80’s. This unit is exceptional and I agree with everything the OP said. The web setup is way better than the phone app. I give this product 5 stars.
What is the voltage rating volts/hertz?
Can anybody tell smth on vpn ) wanna know if it’s possible to set up on orbi( OpenVPN , l2tp) or maybe smth different . Bible question for me )
Thank you for your review and thank you for showing the speed test result for a wired connection to a satellite! That has been my main concern since I’ve an original PS4 which can only connect to the 2.4Ghz wireless band which really really sucks for gaming online. One question, I’ve gigabit internet with Xfinity can I expect the same +400Mbps performance as yours via a wired connection with a satellite?
Hello I have a question : how far apart are the two modems ? And do you have big walls or something like that between them ?
Does Orbi work with Fios?
Why’s the upload speed only 24Mbps?
If you’re planning on using this for gaming, you might wanna reconsider. It connect well but if someone else in your household streams Netflix or any other streaming apps, your game will lag badly.
Initially when I bought this product, I had no issues. A few months later, the internet connection drops every few minutes. There is no support from netgear and it seems to be an ongoing issue from what I can see from other users on the netgear online forum. Has anyone experienced this issue and how did you fix it? I’m on the verge of throwing away the product altogether.
Love that the light dosnt stay on blue have an issue sleeping in a room and the router is blinking and bright
It supports external hard drives now.
Thanks for a great video. Can you connect the satellite unit to the router via cable for a more reliable connection and improved speeds?
thank you for the video.. the Netgear X4 or X4S range extenders are more my price range.. are you familiar with setting up the “mesh” Network on those units? Are they simply plug and play units?
Does the web version show real-time connection between devices and so on?
Watching them through these lol
Any performance updates? I want to buy for my 1900 sq ft home (1950s built).i hear a lot of chatter about dropped connections and difficulty syncing with the Ring doorbell. Any advice?
Great video. What speed are you getting from your ISP?
If it did track real time data usage, you would not like the performance hit it would cause. It’s a MAJOR hit on performance, regardless of MFR.
I just purchased this and I’m still not getting good speeds over wifi, I have Verizon Fios 940/880 Mbps and over wifi the most I get is around 175/200 Maybe its on the Verizon side idk..
Nice video i subscibed
So I have 150 mbs plan from comcast. You mean to tell me that I will have a much higher speed than that. I cam here because I have been having so much trouble with when I play online with my PS4.. I don’t mind the price… I just want a better gaming experience. Now will I get a far better signal when when I purchase this device.
I have 1 gig internet, will i pull around 800-900 mpbs on wifi?
Is this a modem & router ?
If not, Is there an Orbi that is a combination ?
The Orbi is awful. The garbage mobile app allows people to “pause” other people’s wifi connection and my parents use it to harass me. Kill it with fire.
How did you get the VPN option to show up on your phone?
Is this alright to go between floors(concrete) on apartments?
Better than Ubiquiti?
Maybe if I don’t have sky I wouldn’t have to return my rbk50.
@5:47, some fine looking pussy you got there
*Sees spectrum
F for respects
Question did you connect the Orbi direct to your internet port or via a cable box?
I still lag on league of legends so i give this product a thumbs down
People get tons of disconnect issue after couple months use. go to check Netgear website and see how many people complain about it.
So you mention seeing which clients are connected to which AP, can you do that with the web interface since you mentioned that you can’t see it in the app?
I have Google Wifi and also want to know which devices are connected to which ap, since I’ve noticed that some of my devices will (for some God awful reason) be connected to an ap across the house, and getting poor performance even though they are in the same room as an a different AP..
I’d like to see this get better by moving to Orbi. Have you noticed devices connecting to the wrong ap with Orbi?
Orbi or Amplify? Amplify HD?
Yes, you are exactly correct, the orbi system setup as star topology (not full mesh) is amazing… definitely beats most other competition. There are a couple settings to be wary of that I cannot remember off hand (look up settings you aren’t sure about to get general consensus if it is good or bad to enable in its current state/firmware version, especially if you are noticing subpar performance).
One thing I really like about these also is that the web admin interface is fast in page refresh and settings changes. Some, even modern ones, are god-awful slow, which is extremely frustrating.
I have been so impressed as to recommend and install these in the houses of 4 other friends and family, and they have worked flawlessly and problem-free…. the first among them 2 years ago.
