753 has quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU; 853 has quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU.
753 has 6 antennas, 853 has 8 antennas.
753 radios are 2.4GHz (600Mbps) + 5GHz (1200Mbps) vs 853 radios are 2.4GHz (600Mbps) + 5GHz (2400Mbps).
Both 753 and 853 uses the 5GHz (2400Mbps) band for their dedicated link between the Orbi Router and Orbi Satellites

Chromebook connection issues-
This will fix it.
https://community.netge
We have a fix! My Chromebooks are finally connected.
1. Login to orbilogin.net.
2. Click ADVANCED Tab, on a far left panel click on ADVANCED option and then select Advanced Wireless Settings under it.
3. Change the CTS/RTS value to 2347 then click APPLY button to save the settings.
4. Then, try again connecting your Chromebook to the wifi network.
Note: After I did this it did not work right away. I forgot the network on the Chromebook and restarted the computer than tried to connect and bam I'm connected to the Orbi. Keep you posted if I have any drops but working as of now.

Some mesh networks allow for ethernet connection to the satellites. This one is one of them that has ethernet connections in the base of the units. Ethernet will usually get you the best results. Some newer homes have ethernet wired around the whole house. So the main router gets hooked up to that junction. Then you place the 2nd satellite next to an ethernet port say in the master bedroom and that satellite will get it's internet connection from that port. It's faster and more reliable. 3rd will get hooked to another ethernet port say in the 2nd story game room. That is the ideal solution to bathe the whole house with wifi.
Wireless backhaul is for people who don't have a house wired for whole house ethernet or that don't want to run an ethernet cable across multiple floors or across the other end of the house. That's where this comes in handy. It will send the wireless internet signal from one unit to the next unit and to the third unit. So you can basically cover the whole house in wifi. When you send the signal wirelessly, either you have a 2 channel or 3 channel system in most mesh systems. This model has 3 channels. A 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, and a 2nd 5Ghz that is exclusive used to communicate between the 3 units. That is the best wireless backhaul to have, a 3 channel one. A 2 channel only has the 2.4 and the 5Ghz. So the 5Ghz has to send from satellite to satellite, but also your wifi internet to your iphone, laptop, appletv, etc. So having a 2 channel mesh network, it's more congested on the 5Ghz channel and so you get slower communication performance from satellite to satellite. For some people who don't need all that much speed, but more coverage, a 2 channel mesh system will be just fine for them. I however, rely on the wireless backhaul, so I will only buy a 3 channel mesh system. These are the channels for this system and it's max speed.
2.4GHz (600Mbps†) + 5GHz (1200Mbps†) for WiFi devices to connect to the Internet
5GHz (2400Mbps†) dedicated WiFi link for faster data connections between Orbi Router and Orbi Satellite

Edit* I was posting speeds on the higher Netgear AX600 vs this actual one at Costco one here, the Netgear AX4200.

Having said that I DO not want to shoot myself in the foot by buying an inferior product in the form of Netgear. Can anyone with experience with both chime in? I love the wired backhaul and alexa/google integration.
Before this deal, i want to try eero pro 3 pack and waiting for good deal.
