[Test] Netgear Orbi RBK50: the Rolls Royce of WiFi networks?
What we liked:
- Great performance
- Easy installation
- Nice design
What we did not like:
- Its price
- Large size
Verdict
Simple to install and very comprehensive, the Orbi RBK50 is a very powerful WiFi networking solution. In the course of our testing, the Netgear system managed to cover a particularly complex, 120 m2 area (thick walls and several stories) while providing high bandwidth. At the moment, the Orbi is one of the best solutions available for improving WiFi coverage. If that is, you are willing to pay the price. If you find its price to be too high, there are other, less powerful, but just as comprehensive solutions available, such as Netgear’s RBK40 and 30.
