Question 1

Is this the 3-pack fro. Costco?  Looks just like it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is worth $499 if you have stability and coverage issues by providing wireless router and 2 sats. To buy the 3 pieces on Amazon cost more based on my last search. Avoids need for bridge or extenders which loose bandwidth and cost more.

Question 2

I want to buy one orbi wifi router and 2 satellites. i am a little confused if it appears as a rbk53 – orbi ac3000?? is it the same orbi system?

Accepted Answer

I ordered the RBK53S from Amazon (includes 1 Router and 2 RBS50 satellites).

The model number on the Router is RBR50. I’m assuming that the RBK3S on the box means there are 3 items in the RB_50 series (RBR50, for the Router and RBS50 for the 2 satellites ). Is this correct? And if I still need more add-on satellites then I need to buy more RBS50 satellites? Wish I’d bought a larger package because the RBK53 does not cover 6900 square feet and the item description says it will cover 7500 sq. feet. My house is very long and skinny (only 1 room deep) and 2 stories, so if your house is similar to mine buy a package with 5 units, not 3!

Question 3

I have a 2 story 8500 sq foot home and looking at wireless options.  How does orbit compare to linksys velop and airport extreme?

Accepted Answer

Counting all levels of my house, I have 6500 sq ft and it covers it extremely well. Additionally I also have coverage throughout my attached three car garage. I looked at other units and I like the fact that the router and satellites communicate on another band and there is no degradation of my incoming internet signal.   Another advantage to me is I don't have to hit the manufacturer's web site for this to work (see eero and google). I've been using this for about six weeks now and love the coverage.

Question 4

Recently switched from comcast to att in our building.  does this work with att wifi/internet as well?

Accepted Answer

Orbi Yes, Orbi should work well with virtually any ISP as long as you have the proper equipment to receive Internet signal and provide to Orbi with an Ethernet connection.
