Thank you PowerMan572. Mine arrived yesterday. It was twice faster than my ATT residential gateway Aris BGW 210-700. I was able to bypass that gateway and used a dumb switch to remain connected to ONT after entering RGW's mac address on AX6000. But after the firmware update I can't do that...

Do you have to restart the system every 14 days?

Finally we are going to see gigabit Internet on WiFi devices like smartphones and tablets that don't have an ethernet connection. It is kind of exciting.

Let me know if you are able to use this Netgear router without the ATT Router.

Thank you. Since they don't sell additional satellites, can I order 2 RBK852s and use the router of the second pair as satellite too? I need 1 router and 3 satellites. Is dummy switch bypass option the same as IP Passthrough...

Thank you Tim Higgins, pege63, Avtella and all for the valuable advices. Now I am going to skip $700 idea of installing the 2 node WiFi 6 system and instead get 3 node $318 RBK53S system and plus the $300 rbs50y outdoor satellite. Four nodes instead of two and $100 less. You saved me $800...

The only thing, as a consumer, I am worried that there is no actual review of this new mesh system yet. And the release date is in few weeks. I saw WiFi 6 traditional Nighthawk router review and it doesn’t offer much different yet. I wonder if the new iPhone 11 will have the double the...

Can I buy a pair of rbk 852s and use the router of the second one as a satellite? That way I will have 1 router and 3 satellites. I know it is going to be expensive but I hate to buy new Wifi system every couple years. At least kids will be happy for few years with 1Gig wifi 6 connection on...

That is why I will be using all the satellites CAT 5/6 wired in AP modes.

I was wondering how many satellites The Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 System (RBK852) can support. It comes with one AX6000 satellite and I definitely need at least one more for a large 3 level home. If the current 2 node system, which is still in pre-order status, can support more satellite nodes, how...

Thank you for providing concrete numbers. So this 2 node system will support approximately 60 wifi devices like my wemo and lutron switches, cameras, smart phones and TVs? They keep dropping now with my ATT (Aris) BGW 200. Did you test multiple WiFi devices with asus rt-ax92u? What is the limit?

Thank you for all the information in above posts. Noob question: will number of wired connected devices affect the performance of a system like this? Me and my kids use wired 8 DirecTV and AV receivers, 2 Apple TVs, an Xbox, a Raspberry Pi and 3 smart TVs I forgot to add to my previous home...

I was generally referring to previous Netgear non ax successful orbi mesh systems. Thank you. I will try sat-------router ----------sat configuration but there is no second AX6000 sat available for purchase. Can I use RBS50Y extender instead? I have willingness to learn.

Thank you for the advice. Attached is my home layout. It is wood construction with no cement floors but has many walls. Internet fiber comes through from the outside of a 3rd floor bedroom which is in the furthest corner possible from where we normally hang out most of the time. I will try to...

I am a noob in mesh WiFi networking. I have a 1 Gig internet which is fine only wired. For more than a year I am suffering from ATT mesh system with BGW 200 router with 4 AirTies 4920 mesh extenders. To be fair I have more than 30 wireless devices and probably ATT 's Arris BGW 200 is not able...
