Impressed
Picked this little badboy up to upgrade from an apple router. The Covid 19 caused everyone to be home more often, and the old router would not cut it any more. After 1 month of research and the opinion of an IT professional (also a good friend), decided on the rbk50. Setup was a breeze, got a wall mount and away we go. Here we are about 1 wk later, there are about 30 devices connected, as well as 12 more from the guest set up and for once i am getting the speeds i pay for, as well as no matter where you go in the 4000 square foot home, there is coverage with consistent speeds. I highly recommend, if you are in need of an upgrade and need whole house coverage.

Must change to Orbi mode
If connecting as a satellite to an existing Orbi system you must set it to Orbi mode. It comes as an extender from the factory. The piece of paper that comes with this satellite explains how. Basically make sure the power button is off. Then plug it in. Then hold down the pairing button. Then power it on while holding pairing button. Then release pairing button. This will cycle it into orbi mode. It took my satellite about 5 minutes to finally go into Orbi mode. Once in orbi mode go to the app and pair it.
Again, follow the paper that came with it unless you just want to use it as an extender.

The Netgear Orbi made WiFI possible
I have had a cable internet connection for several years with Time/Warner (now Spectrum). The signal from the Spectrum router was too weak to reach from one end of my house to the other (only 1300 square feet with wooden construction). Even with a LinkSys router, I could not depend on WiFi connections. The Orbi Home Mesh WiFi made wireless connections possible from one end of the house to the other. I just added an outdoor expansion to allow me to monitor my Generac back-up generator through a WiFi app. I needed very helpful Netgear support to complete my installation, but the support was accessible, courteous and knowledgeable.

Powerful mesh router
This product is just amazing. We had several internet problems in our house and the provider couldn't resolve the issue even though they tried they own brand extenders. We have had to restart many times the router, turn of our devices and so...
After research we decided to buy the Orbi Mesh WiFi. As soon as we set up (super easy) we noticed the difference. The device is able to fill a large home with high-speed Wi-Fi and has more range and power than any other router we have tried. The result: no more internet connectivity issues. We strongly recommend this device if you are experiencing internet problems / weak signal or even slow speed connection.

Great Coverage and Signal Strength!
Installed the ORBI RBR50 in our 2500 square foot home which suffered from weak Wi-Fi signals due its length and a Sun Porch shielded by interior brick walls. The system was very easy to install and setup. All devices throughout the house are now getting 150 to 800+ MBPS connections to the main router or satellite unit. For example, I have seen iPhones connect at 800+ MBPS. I suspect some of the lower speeds (but still fast at 150 MBPS) are only restricted by the individual device capabilities. My ISP connection is currently capped at 200 MBPS so this system gives us plenty of room for future growth and even faster internet access should we ever decide to increase our ISP connection speed.

Good outdoor solution
I bought this a year ago and it extends perfectly the signal to the garage. Snow, Rain, Sun and the thing continues to work flawlessly. I do have it connected via the backhaul to the WiFi 5 Orbi Mesh System. I want to upgrade to the WiFi inside home and I have seen many frustrated people here saying it doesnt work with the backhaul, understandable, Netgear should be more upfront and clear with the product compatibility for the non-tech users. If someone wants to use this with the new WiFi 6 Mesh System, there is a workaround, not as effective and I have not tested it, but Netgear claims at least it will work in some manner and that is to setup this In Extender Mode.
Here the link into how to do it https://kb.netgear.com/000060131/How-do-I-set-up-my-Orbi-Outdoor-Satellite-in-Extender-Mode
Netgear moderators, I saw you suggesting this into other post but no link into how to do it. Cmon!.
Hope this helps to future buyers, cheers!

Does not work with Orbi 6 mesh
The rating is based on my desire to use it with an Orbi 6 mesh system. I just bought a RBK 852 System up and Running and bought the AC3000 (RBS50Y) as an outdoor satellite for my back yard. FYI, These are not compatable and I am on customer suevice right now returning it. The AC 3000 or RBS50Y does not work with any router.

Not compatible with any Wifi 6 system
I bought this to use with an existing Orbi Wifi Mesh system. It will not work with any Wifi 6 router including Orbi Mesh 6 system. It took me 2 calls to Netgear to get help before the tech noted that it would not work with any Wifi 6 router.
