I would love to see you compare this Very Expensive Mesh solution to something on the other end of the spectrum like the Vilo 3-node Mesh which only costs $99. Curious
Or show us the other 6e systems you reviewed because you claimed this was the best you tested. My Prime day $446 Wi-Fi 6e Eero system beats it imo also babe I know your house isn’t 9000 square feet so please test your 6e system in an actual home that it’s designed for
I have the 2 year old version of their Mesh system and although it works well, the Orbi app is rubbish, constantly can’t see I’m connected to the network to manage it and I find the units really struggle going through brick walls- really drops its range. Major problem is they don’t support vlans.
Hi we are planning to get a 5G Home Broadband which will come with a 5G SIM Router in one of the below models: HUAWEI 5G CPE Pro 2 ZTE MC8020 5G INDOOR CPE ZTE MC801A 5G INDOOR CPE OPPO 5G CPE T1a Linksys FGW3000 ZTE MC888 OPPO T2 TP-Link Deco X80-5G CPE. My question is if I can connect a Wifi Mesh system like Asus XT8 or Orbi RBKE963 to this 5G Router inorder to expand my coverage. Also whether connecting the Mesh Router to the 5G Sim Router using an Ethernet cable would be enough or whether we need to alter some settings in the either system.
I am using netgear orbi mesh wifi RBR752. Most of the time i use my macbook in my room which is closer to the satellite. However, sometimes the macbook would connect to the main router despite there is a closer sallellite and the network become unstable as it is out of range from the main router. i dont see any solution online. Is there any suggestion?
i set up the netgear orbi ax4200 tri-band wifi 6 mesh system. The router works great but i cant get the damn satellites to connect!!! I thought they were too far away so i moved the half way closer and it still wouldnt connect! then i tried to connect them in the same room 3 feet from the router and it still wont connect!!! what gives?!?!?
Superb video, Josh. Thank you. I would love to use this system, but frankly, it’s just too tall for the only place I can connect it. I need to use a system that has a height similar to the original Google wifi, the Google Nest or the TP link x60. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the video. Some great information covered!! Well done!
Thank you for the helpful video!! We currently have our Apple TV connected via Ethernet bc the wifi router was too far away. This also meant we had to get a long enough cable to reach the Apple TV. Would using this Orbi system allow our streaming device to work as quickly as it does with Ethernet?
Depending on what router you have it certainly could. But it also depends on what internet speeds you’re getting as well over wired. If you already get pretty slow speeds, going over Ethernet will probably still be the best experience.
Contact your ISP, Just remember only one of the mesh systems OR ISP modem should do the routing, Either put the ISP modem in bridge/passthrough mode and set the mesh system as "router", Or disabled the radio of the modem and set the mesh as "Access point"
I don’t have it configured that way currently. Haven’t had any issues with my routers & modem where I’ve found I’d need to put the modem in bridge mode.
It looks like you can, yes: kb.netgear.com/26748/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-or-Orbi-router-after-I-enable-bridge-mode-or-turn-the-WiFi-off-on-my-ISP-gateway
I get you're videos are based on Wifi Mesh routers but you keep talking about routers vs wifi mesh routers and yet never compare the difference nor have you included discussion about them I've watched two videos from you that claimed to be about routers but it was mesh systems. Your confusing the two systems. They are not the same and there are differences. I spent time watching these videos only to get talks about Orbi...when I was directed to here under the direction it was about the difference between the mesh and traditional routers.
What do ya know?!?! After vigerous and unbiased testing the most expensive system and the video's sponsor makes the best product for you. #shocker
🤣👍
More like he liked the product and then he asked if they would sponsor the video. Not the other way around.

Well likely compare it to others in the full review & the new Google Wifi that's been rumored

Most stuff nowadays doesn't have wifi 6e. I currently use the Netgear Orbi Mesh System RBK752 love it.
A Netgear commercial?
How in the heck am I supposed to figured out a way to disable my modem/router I got from my service provider.
It would be nice if you put a metric conversion along side the imperial. Great video btw!
Sorry about that! We'll make sure to do that for the long term review of routers going forward
As usual, a great video, and I would like to review the eero pro 6E and compare it with previous version eero pro 6 and Netgear, Tp Link mesh wifi 🌸
Just the info I was looking for. Very good production value also.
Man great video!! I’m not an IT guy at all. Thanks to videos like this I understand it better.
Yea but paying all that money for the mesh then they try to make you pay more for their security after 30 days! That should be included!!
Thank you so much!! Very clear and to the point. I'm sold. :)

Terrific video Josh. How can I disable the Wi-Fi signals on the Xfinity gigabit modem? Thanks
Very thorough. Thanks
Thank you for the helpful video!!

just 1 question should the AP be plugged into the main desk top via eithernet cable
More wired connections -> better
II appreciate this review. Thanks.
I have direct tv. what router should I purchase?
For a university , which mesh system..which netgear
When are you making review on Bose headphones
What modem have you paired with this system? Will the Nighthawk DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem (CM2000) play nice with this since they're both Netgear?
They should, my modem is also made by NETGEAR though can only handle about .5 GB so once I get gigabit speeds I’ll likely upgrade. - Josh
How to disable wifi radios from ISP to only use my eero pro 6 router..even though they are both connect together
Contact your ISP,
Just remember only one of the mesh systems OR ISP modem should do the routing,
Either put the ISP modem in bridge/passthrough mode and set the mesh system as "router", Or disabled the radio of the modem and set the mesh as "Access point"
When you use the mesh system as a router, do you setup your modem as a bridge?
I don’t have it configured that way currently. Haven’t had any issues with my routers & modem where I’ve found I’d need to put the modem in bridge mode.
Has thier customer service improved? Our router was in need of updates, but they wanted to charge me $400 + to install them. Robbery.
There's "Sponsored by" and then there's "this is one giant advert for.."
$1,600 ... 😵
Rip off
$1,500 - $2,000 I don't have that kind of money and I don't have every lightbulb in my home connected.
Can the Orbi system mesh in bridge mode?
It looks like you can, yes: kb.netgear.com/26748/How-do-I-install-my-NETGEAR-or-Orbi-router-after-I-enable-bridge-mode-or-turn-the-WiFi-off-on-my-ISP-gateway
rental fee for using isp router? that's crazy
Ikr?! I like that my ISP is plug and play, I can just bring all of my own equipment. - Josh
1.5k $
Yeah no....I'd rather just use 2 routers and run cables.
And wifi 6 will not connect to my old Xbox 360… so I sent it back
Did you ever notice that your eyebrows are crooked?
It's super cute!
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🏠👆🏻
$1500!!!

@@brennanjung na it's you... you are terrible...
One LONG NetGear commercial.
Hello, there is something wrong when I try to send you an email on your website, any way to work it out?
