Paid $425+tax a while back. No issues on my side since I installed it. I can't choose between 2.4 or 5 but I've had no issue with it selecting the appropriate one as of yet

Great system but if you want pure performance and have 1Gbps internet and want all of that with a wifi 6 client the AX5700 from TP-Link which is back on sale at Costco for $290 is the only option.

Range is an impossible one to predict for anyone as there are way too many variables. If there is no interference or issues I would say 1 unit can easily cover a 1500-2000 sq ft home if centralized. The unit has powerful antennas so in most cases ranges should be really good.

You get 2 units for $290 from the costco deal. The ranges netgear or just about anyone puts on their boxes are nothing but perfect environment lab outcomes which noone realistically ever achieves.

Well now.... that's one person's opinion - and not a good one at that.

Not sure which comment or if both your referring to. If your referring to the RBK753 it is a great system stable and good performance, a lot of good reviews, but a bit pricey. If your referring to the TP-Link AX5700 till just 2 months ago it was one of 4 router out on the market that could achieve over 1 Gbps speeds over wifi to a wifi 6 2x2 client. Also next to its bigger brother it was the ONLY other mesh system that could do it.

Not opinion all fact! Please let me know what isnt good about its stated performance and I will be happy to prove otherwise with links and data.

Over 4 hours now and still no reply to defend his comments, typical.

I am super new to this netgear mesh.

Do you guys know if the mesh from netgear orbi and netgear nighthawk meshes work together or it's 2 separate mesh system and can't be mixed?

So far I know for sure Tp Link deco meshes work together

They can not, as one acts more like an extender instead instead of a real mesh. (nighthawk mesh like an extender) (orbi real mesh)

FWIW - Bought it and returned it. Firmware issue knocked speed down to just about half of what my RBK20 was showing. Reddit threads are buzzing with this issue and after I rolled back the Firmware to the previous version and set everything up again, the unit did an auto-update overnight, which you can't disable, so the issue was back in the morning.

At this point, I'm hoping for some BF deals on better units
