Exactly the reviews I was looking for Man! I have my Orbi RBK754 4-Pack on order....Cant wait to get it and use on my ATT Giga fiber as well...Thanks again!!
Awesome! So glad my video helped. Enjoy your new setup and if you have any questions, let me know.
I just got the AX6000. I had the AX4200 for one week but I took it back and exchanged it for the 6000 just because it was on sale. 🤣
Before my new 320 router from AT&T I had some half dead zones in my garage and backyard. Not good with security cameras. Even with the new AT&T 320 router, those dead zones still existed. But with this Orbi system, I have no issues anymore! Garage or even in a far corner of my back yard. On point! I love it!
Thanks for your video!
Aren’t these things great Ernesto!?!? I keep trying to tell everyone I know these are the best things you can buy to have complete wifi coverage in your home.
Glad to hear you got it and you’re happy. Enjoy!
I’d love it if Orbi would offer a trade in and trade up program. I’m running an OrbiAC3000 with 3 satellites and love it, but I’m getting access to 1gig, finally.
Can you separate the 2.4 and 5ghz bands into separate logins?
Thank you James, I have to install this system for the CEO tomorrow at his house, this helps a lot
No problem, glad I could help. Also, if you have issues with the app, use the web based setup. It should be in the instructions as well.
HI THERE, YOUR VIDEO IS AWESOME, JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, I'M CHANGING MY LINKSYS EA9500 MAX STREAM ROUTER TO THE ORBI WIFI 6 ROUTER AND TWO SATELLITES, I KNOW I NEED TO CHANGE THE SSID NAME AND PASSWORD. TO THE SAME ONE IN USE RIGHT NOW AS NOT TO MAKE A BUNCH OF CHANGES TO ALL MY SMART HOME DEVICES, DOES THE ORBI APP ALLOW ME TO KEEP THE SAME SECURITY SETTINGS AS THE LINKSYS WPA/WPA2 IF SO CAN I CHANGE IT IN THE ORBI APP TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL ROUTER?
THANKS SO MUCH...
STEVE
Yes. Just change your password in the Orbi app to your current one and you’ll be just fine.
Enjoyed the video, I just purchased the ax6000 bundle. The wireless speeds are drastically faster than the hardwired speeds. I called netgear customer service, but so far have not gotten any answers. I prefer hardwired over wireless. Did you run into that issue?
Thank you for watching. Not me. My hardwired speeds are in the 900’s with my AT&T 1gig fiber line. WiFi speeds are in the 600’s
I prefer hardwired for sure. 90% of my devices are all hardwired in my home.
I live in Egypt and we use 220v I'm planning to buy one from Amazon but I'm afraid I will only get the 100-120v power adapter only!!
Also, what is the voltage label on the adapter? Fingercross you will tell me 100-240v
James, thank you for this video!! I have been searching for the right system, weather its a mesh system or a powerful gaming router. I wanted to know what your thoughts were comparing the Orbi to the Eero pro 6 and the Asus AX 11000. Those are the 3 options Ive been considering. Just wondered what your thoughts would be. I noticed that the 2 node system covers 5000 sqft. Is it the size of your home or another reason why you went with 4 vs 2 or 3? Im looking to pick up something this week so I'm looking forward to your response!! Thanks so much again for this video it was extremely helpful!!
Hey Greg, I haven’t used the others, so I can’t speak to them. I’ve been using Orbi since 2017 and it’s been flawless. So, since I’ve had such great success I wanted to stick with them.
My home is around 4000sft. But, in some locations I need ethernet ports. The only way I was able to obtain that reliably was with the extra satellites.
Absolutely love it
@@locoboof Ok that all makes perfect sense. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Hi James, good video. I have RBR50 and want to upgrade to AX600. Is it plug and play with the Orbi app?
Yes! Pretty much. If you have any trouble setting it up use their web interface.
Hi James, thank you for the great presentation. I had an RAX120 and died on me after 2+ years. I decided to go with the Orbit AX6000 with Router and 2 Satellites. My house is not that big, but i am planning to do this setup. The router in my basement, the satellite in the second floor and will connect wired. The Third will be in my attic and connect wirelessly. Any suggestions with this setup? Thanks.
Yeah, when you first go to set this up, do it all in the same room. Once you see everything is working and connected on all 3 devices, then move them to other rooms.
Also, use their web-based setup if the app isn’t working for initial setup. Other than that, you’re going to absolutely love it.
were you able to connect it to your computer?
Great presentation young man. You helped me out, a lot.
Thank you sir.
Really great video! Excellent enunciation and product focus! So many vids out there with MUMBLING talking heads! Arrgh! Thank you!
Haha! Thanks for the kind words. Glad my video helped.
I bought the 2 pack. My house is under 3,000 sf
I had a Netgear nighthawk for over 5 years but it seems to drop devices.
I hope this will be the answer.
Thank you for doing the video.
Why did you do the after speed test in a closet?
The before wasn’t in a closet was it?
This will solve your dropped device issue. The first two tests were in my office. The last tests I tried going further away from the satellite to demonstrate the speeds even though I was far away.
Haven’t seen your videos in a while!
I have 1gb line but only getting 250-300 mb speeds with same system. Hmm either my isp is throttling me or router.. no idea.
Something is wrong. Because I easily get over 900mb hardwired and 600-750 with my iPad/iPhone.
Did you have to into the AT&T settings and mess with the settings at all? Like IP passthrough or anything like that?
Thanks
Nope
How big is your home? I’m at 8,000 sq ft and the 3 satellite system plus base or 4 pack is perfect
It’s not that my home is bigger than 5000sft, but I needed hardwired connections in places where I didn’t. Not to mention outside of my home and backyard the extra coverage is wonderful.
@@locoboof makes sense, great review, thank u for doing it.
Thanks for watching and you’re welcome.
Hello James, I have a choice to get netgear RAX200 which is AX11000. OR Netgear orbi RBK852 (AX6000) ... which one should i get. ?
House is detached. Mainfloor + upstairs.
ORBI!!
Hey! Great vid! I’m a novice in this domain and I was wondering if you had to contact your isp provider at any point in your setup? Please and Thank you!
Nope, you don’t need to contact them at all. Using the cat5 cable, just plug in your modem, to the router and follow the instructions on the app.
Hey James, when you configured your AT&T router, do you configure it as a passthrough, a bridge, or is the Orbi configured as an AP? I've watched few videos that show the Orbi and AT&T router and different methods are shown. I can' afford to be without the WiFI because my kids are still schooling from home. Any input is appreciated.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t get into all that fancy stuff like that. I just followed the Orbi app setup.
Unplug modem
Connect cat5 from modem to Orbi
Plug in Orbi
Follow setup instructions in the Orbi app
From there Orbi will have you setup your new network name and WiFi password. You see, you can do all of this while your family is using the internet based off the ATT modem/router.
Then, once Orbi is all setup, WiFi and all. Then I just disabled WiFi on the ATT router/modem. Then I plugged in everything to the Orbi and set all my devices to the new network and WiFi on the Orbi.
I still get landline speeds in the 900’s and WiFi is in the 600’s
Also, if you have any trouble setting up your Orbi via the app. Use their web based option. It’s easy too.
@@locoboof I think this is my first comment on CZcams ever. Thank you so much. I did the steps above. The phone APP was useless and had to set-up the Orbi via a laptop instead. You are amazing. Great videos.
No problem, I’m glad my video and comments helped. As you can imagine with all my videos I get a ton of messages everyday, but I try to answer what I can.
I really dislike when someone has a valid question and the CZcams person never replies. I try to be the exact opposite of that.
You have a great day and enjoy that awesome new router you have.
Is the rear panel of the satellite and router loose or tight (753 has it tight, 852 I find it loose, I can shake the device, the panel jitters)
It’s tight
Have you tested long distance with this router like outside your home in the backyard, etc? Does the wifi speed reduce?
Yes, I’ve been in my backyard. Even in my driveway in front of my home. The speed is reduced, but works well.
@@locoboof Great thanks..I just purchased this router and will be setting it up today.
You’re going to love it.
Looking into getting this. So my Verizon modem plugs into this Orbi, then I plug the Orbi to my TP Link switch? Will I get the same throughput if I plug my PC directly to the Orbi vs plugging my PC to my switch?
Correct. From your modem, to the Orbi router, then one port from the modem plug into your switch. Then, use another port on the back of the router to plug in your PC vs plugging it in off of your switch.
If your Verizon modem has a router built into it also, then disable the WiFi portion of it. Use the WiFi off your new Orbi.
I didn't find the 4 pack, I bought the 2 pack for now, I'm still confused about what to buy from there, hopefully not one by one at $400 a pop
Your have to buy the 3 pack and then add the 3rd satellite separately.

I should have the Orbi Wifi 6 ax6000 deliver in couple of days. What moden should I hook it up to?
Depends on your provider. If you have AT&T fiber, you have to use theirs. Otherwise, I’d get the fastest AARIS modem available.
How big is your home to use 3 satillites? I have a 3000 sq ft home, do I need extra satllites?
My house is over 3000sft, so I use all 3 satellites and the one router. If you have a 3000sft house, 2 satellites and one router will cover you just fine. You’ll be happy with the results!
Hi James. Is it best to give the Orbi a different network SSID than my internet wifi SSID?
Are you referring to the router (Orbi) password and the wifi passwords being the same? If so, I’d make them different. Write them down and keep it in a safe place.
Am I understanding your question correctly?
How do you have the devices sorted by 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz?
That’s something that’s automatically done by the router. If the device can do both, it will default to the higher faster 5.0Hz. If the device an only do one, then it will do that one only. It will tell you what is connect to which within the app.
I bought the 3 pack and realized that there is no plug on it for my fiberoptics I wanted to replace my company rental router with this now I am on stuck any advise??
I don’t exactly understand. You have a modem and router built in one and you wanted to replace it with this? That’s not possible. This is only a router, not a modem.
I have AT&T fiber, but I’m required to use their modem. But, I use this Orbi router system with their modem.
Do you use it in conjunction with your ISP's router?
I have to. ATT requires me to use their modem/router. But, I disabled the WiFi on it.
@@locoboof gotcha thanks!
@@locoboof I just purchased this Orbi setup and I also have the fiber setup from ATT. How do you disable their router?
It’s easy to disable WiFi on it. It’s in the settings. You can even call ATT and ask them how.
Just take the cat5 going from their modem/router to your Orbi router. You have to use their modem/router no matter what. Don’t worry, your speeds won’t diminish. I’m seeing 960-940mbps connected via cat5
I need one of those LMAO 🤣
lol
