Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh Network System (RBK663)

I recently added a Netgear wifi 6 RB660 (certainly not the best at this time) to my house. It can function as a router for NAT and DHCP server and all that, but instead I configured it through its web interface to operate in AP mode and not router mode. So now I have coverage all over the house. The satellites communicate over a 5G backhaul to the main device in my office. Nothing fancy but it works.

My parents have same kind of house, with their Xfinity broadband in the 3rd floor TV room. I ran Cat6 across the back down to the 1st floor for back haul and an Orbi WiFi6 mesh router now gives great signal house-wide (yard too!)

I went from an old Orbi RB system to the 770 and have loved it! Sorry to hear so many haven’t. But so far it’s been great for me all around.

I hated the WiFi 6 Orbi system I bought. It was lacking so many fairly basic features, such as QoS, firmware updates breaking basic functionality, and a very lackluster app-focused experience.  I replaced it with an ASUS WiFi 7 system comprised of a RoG router with two Zen nodes and it’s been a lot more solid with far more configuration options than I’ve ever seen on a residential router.  Maybe the Orbi WiFi 7 line has solved their earlier issues, but I’ll never buy one again based on my prior experience. 

I’ve used before netgear Orbi mesh WiFi 6 router with two satellites. Worked well. Expensive but I guess was worth. Still use it now in the apartment but with one satellite in the bedroom only just in case
