- How much area does the RBK852 cover?
- Netgear rates the two-unit kit for homes up to about 5,000 square feet. Real coverage depends on walls and layout, and you can add compatible Orbi satellites to extend it.
- Does it support Wi-Fi 6E?
- No. It is Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only, with no 6 GHz radio.
- Can I use my own modem with it?
- Yes. The RBK852 is a router and satellite kit with no built-in xDSL modem, so it connects to a separate cable, fiber or DSL modem via its WAN port.
- How many wired devices can I connect?
- Each unit has four Gigabit LAN ports, so the router and satellite together give eight wired ports. All are Gigabit, with no 2.5 GbE.
- Is it backward compatible with older Wi-Fi devices?
- Yes. Wi-Fi 6 routers serve Wi-Fi 5 and older clients at their own speeds, though only Wi-Fi 6 devices get the full benefit.
- What is in the box?
- The kit includes the Orbi router, one Orbi satellite, power adapters and an Ethernet cable.
