The Old Beer House is living its best life. I love your home and love the content of the video. Thank You for helping make an educated decision about this mesh system
Excellent review. I am looking for a mesh system for my Starlink Gen 3 system. This looks like it will work. I have had experience with the Orbi 1st gen series and had really good luck with it. Thanks again for your great information. Cheers.
i have a question. My wife and I just bought our first home and we love it! We currently have a NETGEAR Nighthawk RAXE500 Router for our home and it works great but as I am starting to understand how Mesh Wifi works, it is something I definitely want to get for our home down the road. is buying a Mesh Wifi System worth getting for a 1400 Sq Ft Home? or is sticking with our NETGEAR RAXE500 just fine? We just got a starter home for now and once we start having a family in a couple of years, we will move into a bigger house then
I have a solid brick annex about 20 meters away down the bottom of my garden which currently does not receive any signal from my virgin wifi router. Would this Orbi system provide signal to my annex that’s 20 meters away?
So the problem I continue to see is when booting up my router and satellites many of my devices connect to the router first. I need my devices that are furthest out connect to the closest satellite’s so they don’t disconnect. Especially the ones outside my home like lights and cameras. Help! Thanks 👨🚒🚒
Hi there Simon. I have the RBK852 and just upgraded to 1gbp internet through Virgin. Working from home all the time and slowly upgrading my devices to 6E. Would it be a benefit to upgrade to the RBKE963E?
I purchased a Unifi Pro U6 for $160 and mounted it on a vertical wall facing my position and get full 1Gb wire speed both ways. Its Wifi 6 and streams superbly.
I had the $160 Unifi and it never got anything over 250 mbps. I upgraded to Netgear nighthawk router with wired access points. My internet is around 500 mbps at my slowest and furthest point of my house. There are so many factors to consider
Great video......only i cant do anything because it keeps saying im not connected to internet? Then i put my old deco router back and everything works again?? I have the orbi 960 set and installed it exactly as it should to the modem. After that the orbi shows up on all my mac's but it says everywhere im not connected to the internet. So i cant even check for firmware updates? Anyone can please help me with this?
I only have the Netgear ORBI RBRE960 router. I don’t have a satellite on my network. Can anyone tell me what is the best optimized settings for range and wifi speeds for the Orbi 960 router?
Hey Gareth, Ubiquiti have some great networking gear and it is a great choice for folks who want more intricate options and have a little more tech knowledge than those who just want a quick plug and play system. Sadly a lot of the higher end stuff is not easily available in the UK atm, but when it is you can look forward to videos on that here. Cheers!

How many satellites can it expand?

The walkthrough about separating an SSID for IoT is amazing. Thanks for going through this!

Great setup video, very easy to follow for a nice WiFi6 setup. Thanks Simon!
im impressed you figured out that the signal was too strong. That is a difficult problem to recognize
Great video. Any idea what range/distance you could achieve with the satellite if unencumbered by walls, etc.?
I have this same setup on backhaul with my 5gig connection it’s flawless and I love it.
Your review saved me a lot of money!! I went with the one router one satellite option...
Brilliant! How has it been working for you?

Would this Orbi system provide signal to my annex that’s 20 meters away?
I was not able to connect a matter accessory to this router. Is there something that needs to be enabled?
what type of power adapter plug are those 5.5 2.1mm? or 5.5 2.5mm?

Hi there Simon.
I have the RBK852 and just upgraded to 1gbp internet through Virgin. Working from home all the time and slowly upgrading my devices to 6E. Would it be a benefit to upgrade to the RBKE963E?
I put mine on 50% and now i connect to the closest satellite thanks

I also have ubiquiti. This netgear is not in the same league as ubiquiti
I had the $160 Unifi and it never got anything over 250 mbps. I upgraded to Netgear nighthawk router with wired access points. My internet is around 500 mbps at my slowest and furthest point of my house. There are so many factors to consider

When you set up the ethernet backhaul which ports did use for this? 1Gbps or 2.5Gbps?
I used 2.5g but either will work.
I only have the Netgear ORBI RBRE960 router. I don’t have a satellite on my network. Can anyone tell me what is the best optimized settings for range and wifi speeds for the Orbi 960 router?
You did not show how to get to the window to reduce to 50%
If I couldn't assign different ssids to each frequency, this would no longer be an option for me.
Clearly With money to spend why would you not buy ubiquiti?

I put an ubiquiti once and I got tired of denying it, I returned it quickly
