The router and satellite units of the RBK853 are also bigger in size when compared to the router and satellite units of the RBK753. Satellite knows that it is wired but doesn't see the router, leading it to try to establish a wireless connection. Thanks to Wi-Fi 6, the internal wireless specs are far higher than on the original system. There are four 5GHz streams running at 2400Mbps and four 2.4GHz streams running at 1200Mbps. That’s double the number of streams than on the original, and each one runs faster. Here, each 5GHz stream runs at 600Mbps and each 2.4GHz stream at 2.4GHz. Given that firmware V4.6.3.9 is rather problematic performing a factory reset fairly frequently has become an unfortunate necessity. Of course, the system, depending on how these things are tested prior to boxing, are the RBS and RBR tested pre-synced to ensure they work? However I presume they may not be as the setup process has everyone setting up the RBS during the setup wizards and they have to be synced at that time...kind of hard to tell.
We could go on all day. There are dozens of other meshes out there, with designs and capabilities to suit almost every need, all priced much more cheaply than the RBK863. Currently, then, the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 RBK852 is a basic router that offers one wireless network for your home, with an optional guest network that you can toggle on or off. Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 RBK852 performance – Fastest speeds yet The first thing to report is that these are the highest wireless speeds we’ve received in any product we have tested to date. Compared to the TP-Link Deco X20 which peaked at 397 Mbps and previous Netgear Orbi systems at even less, the RBK853 is in a different class. In two locations where our usual BT wireless could not even match our internet connection of 50Mbps, here the Orbi triple set comfortably filled that void and smashed the speeds usually received.Ya, something that won't be seeing in the user manual I believe thought something should be documented. When a reset happens, especially on the RBR, this should clear ALL sync data and should return the system to default settings. With the RBK753, you can connect to more than 40 different devices simultaneously. You can connect to ever more, over 60 in fact, with the RBK853. Simultaneous Streams The RBK853 router and satellites use a faster processor when compared to the RBK753 router and satellites. One (1) 2.5Gbps multi-Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, Four (4) 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports Using iPerf, which is a free software tool that can measure bandwidth between two nodes in a computer network and the quality of a network link, we first tested our existing BT wireless using our main PC as the server and our iPhone 12 as the client. The test options were 5 streams with a duration of 5 minutes.
The satellite on the second floor has nothing hard-wired to it except ethernet in from the router. The satellite in the basement has ethernet in from the router, and three ethernet out connections, one of which goes to my workstation for work.

If your internet service provider gives you enough speed for both of these devices, we recommend getting the RBK853 as you can take advantage of the extra bandwidth to get faster Wi-Fi speeds in addition to having more connected devices and simultaneous streams. RBK753 vs. RBK853 Comparison Chart As was the case with the original system, the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 RBK852 is set up and managed through the Orbi app. As well as making it easy to get going, the app also provides remote access to the router – handy, if you need to reboot the router while you’re out and about. The RBK753 is capable of supporting 8 simultaneous streams while the RBK753 is capable of supporting 12 streams at the same time. Router and Satellites Processor I got smart and switched the satellites. Interestingly, the satellite I brought to the basement from the second floor, which previously never had a problem, began to display this behavior.
Greater wireless bandwidth should help the system if you need to add more satellites. Currently, it’s expensive to add satellites; but we expect Netgear to release cheaper, slightly slower options later, much as it did with the existing Orbi range.As is common with mesh systems, the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6 RBK852 presents both networks under the same name. Devices are then pushed towards the best band based on performance and capability. Fast roaming also ensures devices are pushed to connect to the closest satellite to ensure the best performance on devices that can be moved, such as laptops and mobile phones. Each router and satellite unit of the RBK753 mesh system comes with six internal antennas with amplifiers. The router and satellite unit of the RBK853 mesh system each comes with eight internal antennas with amplifiers. Router Ports One (1) 10Gbps Multi-Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, One (1) 2.5Gbps Multi-Gigabit Ethernet LAN port, Three (3) 1Gbps Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports
