Netgear Orbi RBK50 AC3000 Wifi first impressions!

[xonix]

Can the Orbi work with SingTel Fibre TV?

ONT or ONR ?

ONT or ONR ?

ONT. Judging by your question, most likely ONT cannot

My previous Asus AC88U gave me 160mb/s compared to current 30mb/s with orbi

Also, any ideas why my download speed is lower than upload speed by 20%? firefox however, gave me very great results as compared to chrome... any ideas whats happening bros?

You can try but don't think so: https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...ing-clinic-4/singtel-ac1900-orbi-5684430.html

Else just connect the Orbi to your Singtel Router ( switch off wifi )

Lobang?

Anyone know where best to get this Orbi?

PLease do not get it you will regret it. I have spent 638 and it lasted just over a year just when support is over with and best is there is no place you can bring the product in for repairs.

I agree! Don not buy Orbi, it sucks! I spent $1300 on it, bought 2 systems. Regret! In the end, went with ASUS Lyra. No point having a Lamborghini with fast speeds when network keeps dropping. Go to orbi forum, you will see all the complaints

I have the Orbi23...not impressed. Looking for alternatives

It that really that bad???

Wifi performance of Orbi RBK50 almost like Asus AIMESH built up(main router ac86u, node ac68u).
I recommend Orbi RBK50.

So don’t buy RBK23, but RBK53 no issue and safer??

The RBK50’s backhaul uses 4×4 antennas, the RBK20/23 has to make do with 2×2. RBK53 is better and safer.

So don’t buy RBK23, but RBK53 no issue and safer??

Alternatively can run a lan cable between the router and node this is known as backhaul

 

[pchltws]

So should buy or not buy?

more importantly, what is your objective and needs.

i have an rbk 20 which I installed at my parents place, and I dont regret it. Yes, speeds are only mediocre but parents only use the internet casually and dont need super fast speeds. easy to setup, nice design, option for backhaul using LAN.. its also been reliable so far..

So far a set of 2 rbk53 will cost approximatly SGD 488.00 the lowest when it was sold in PC fair. My speed is only M1 500mbps. I just want to ensure the speed is consistence throughout a 4-rm HDB flat. If not wasted to spend this amount.
