Thank you so much! I’m not techie at ALL and you made this very easy and didn’t waste anytime with the small talk! Great video!
Solid tutorial - I love it. Proper shots of the physical setup and the app setup
Your review and setup info was clear and concise, and made it easy to choose this product. Very happy with the doubled speed tests on the satellite about 100 ft across the house.
Great video... we don't have kids (or I'm not concerned with the previous reply). What this video set the others apart is it gives the logic behind the setup... which I was missing without a manual, and I had to work around an existing setup where our modem had to be replaced. Great job and thank you!
Thank you very much for this helpful video.
I install both units last night and works like a charm.
Thank you again and keep up the great work.
Your video is understandable. You voice and commentary are clear. Thank you.
Awesome video. Just got this last night. I'm pumped and hope the speeds will be fast.
Thanks. Nicely done. Made choosing this product a lot easier.
This worked great. Your video helped me so much ... many, many thanks!
Thanks your video made my setup a breeze and all is well in the land. Superfast!
Awesome...glad it helped!
ive had the orbi for about 5 years.. it has been an incredible system... Im a standard user, but i have about 150 devices on the network...but its fantastic, even the first version which i have.
Have you ever had it to ring randomly?
Great video, thanks for posting
Well done.. nicely explained. Thank you for helping me make decision.
Thank you so much for this installation guide.
I'm actually watching this guide because, believe it not... there was no installation guide included! A "Let's get started" piece of cardboard & a "Don't take this back to the store" notice. Alright then. Your guide was clear, and to the point. What more can a newb (with a short fuse) ask for? You just got to it, and did it. That was big.
thank you so much man, u did a perfect job at explaining this. i subbed and liked
Great video. I had installed it wrongly but the video helped correct the mistake.
I appreciate the video, I didn't consider that it would need a reset coming from a refurbished purchase (I was getting pretty frustrated) - and that worked!
Well done with no nonsense.
about ti get this product. hope it works the way u said. thanks for instructions. i think it will help. i will hit u back about results after i use it a week or so. JB.
but do pay a Bill with this
very well explained, my current set up is through a apple time capsule where the ethernet cable from the ISP is directly connected. The Orbi RBK 50 system requires a modem to connect, can the time capsule be configured to work as a modem in this case? if its possible, how would i go about it. Any assistance in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Excellent video. Step by step setup instructions in plain English.
Thanks!
Thank you so much, it helps me a lot :-)
Awesome Video! I purchased a newer version of the Orbi, and this video was very valuable and straight forward and helpful! Keep them coming man.
Great video, thanks!
the latest firmware update jacked everything up.... EVERYTHING
What do you mean "jacked everything up"...jacked as in Hugh Jackman Wolverine jacked or jacked as in F@#$ up??!!
Great video
Thanks
Thank you very informative looks like a winner to me. Thank You. Clear and great instructions. But what you have a wireless router that just not cutting it .how do switch the WIFI off.
I loved the video, but I do have three questions.
1. I am under the impression that the Orbi can use my 2.4 ghz connection or my 5.0 ghz connection. How can I select which speed that I want to connect to?
2. My current WiFi works pretty well except that my ISP setup my modem in my basement. It’s an expense to move it to my first floor so I’d like to leave the modem in the basement. The problem is that my first floor and basement have great connections. Unfortunately my top floor can be a problem. Am I better of with an extender like the new Nighthawk X4S Tri-Band or replacing my existing router with the Orbi system?
3. Am I correct that using the Orbi system that I cannot hardwire my computer from the Orbi system directly into my computer like I do my current router?
Thanks
Costco has them too, thanks for a great tutorial video:)
Just bought at Costco on sale Orbi 3 pack for $299.
Got on 5-22-2019.
i think im going to connect the orbi router on the first floor in the wall leading to my modem downstairs. That way my router is in a central location in my house. Then im going to add two satalites on the top and bottom floor. hoping to get the best coverage possible.
so what's the speed of the router channels ? also how many items can it handle without starting to slow down , I have nighthawk x8 is it worth upgrading for me ? the only reason I was looking to upgrade is bcause I get crappy signal at the opposite side of my house , currently I'm getting 300mps from my Xfinity provider.
So I can hard wire with my own ethernet from my PC to the satellite correct? Once everything's connected
yes
nicely done.
I know it's been a while but I got a question. Do you have to put your existing modem router in modem mode or if you turn Wi-Fi option off from it and connect your Orbi to it will just work?
Very well explained, thanks.
IF you want to use the satelliteOrby to stream on a smart TV -is there an option-or should you-directly plug an ethernet cord from the satellite into the tV. Thank you
I very much appreciate you. Thank you for your valuable time! Wish you were my neighbor.
It seems the Orbi network blocks items sometimes. So when I use orbi it will let me into a particular site but if that site access and additional page or popup orbi blocks it. I have Fios and the Fios network does not block it
The app is limited and I wasn't able to set it up correctly. After I used the browser everything worked fine. Highly recommend the browser setup over the limited app.
I had charter's router and the rbr50 was plug into that. Rbr50 worked fine if the charter's router was working. Every day we had to reset the charter's router. Last weekend I bought the rbr20 to replace the charter's router. I plugged the rbr50 into that....... Seem to work. But the rbr50 has the purple glow. Any ideas why
Have they published the update which will allow wiring the router and satellites together?
Ty so much
Is there a reason why Orbi and all these mesh WiFi products have a or their main satellite/router NEXT TO ones original router/isp router? I always wondered why.Thank You
I have a Comcast/Xfinity router/modem combination unit. Exactly how should I disconnect the router from the Comcast unit?
Unplug it.
Can you connect the Sattelite with the Orbi router via a RJ45 jack for faster connection. And does the Guest Wi-Fi have a bandwith limitation?
MauriceNL yes, you can now
Is there difficulty attaching this to my ATT Uverse Modem?
I have century link has my internet provider, and it’s a motem/router 2 in 1. Would I just disconnect the router portion of it? Or is that even possible
i'm wondering the same thing~ CL definitely needs help to cover the whole house!
I'm new to this type of stuff, do you have to pay every month? Is there a bill? Do you need another Internet connection?
No. You are safe.
ONce you set up the satellite, can you move it to another location?
hello thx for the thorough video.
in my country the internet providers don't provide modems anymore (VDSL) . can i just connect the orbi to their main router and it will act as a access point/extender of the existing wi-fi? or should i somehow ask from their service to disable the wifi from their router adn rely completely on the orbi.
a quick response will be much appreciated.t
thx in advance.
Thats a good question. Thats what I need to know.
My ISP provides a wireless router to which I attached the Orbi router with 300 ft ethernet cable (to locate it in the third floor) and the one satellite in the second floor; I choose the Orbi WiFi on my connected devices (iPhone, laptop) and works fine without changing settings in the router provided by ISP.
Thanks
Will this work with satellite internet like viastat we have a router with built in modem now
Can I create a QR code for log in to this for my family and friends?
Hi, you know how to switch the Orbi RBR50 only to 2.4 Ghz? because my smoker Traeger 1300 controller only works on that frequency? Thank you
Do you have to buy orbi router if you already have a router will the extenders just work ?
Can you pick which band you want to connect to? 5g or 2.4g? Love the video, I may pick this up. Have a great weekend +
As far as I know I think it automatically detects what would be best for you, and perhaps on how much is being seint/received. That is common for routers and access points these days.
Speed v get is from satellite or from both
What is your opinion, I live in an Old home two story 3K sq. ft. real lath and plaster very dense. Do you think it will work in this environment?
Yes. That is exactly what this system is designed for.
did you use the ethernet cable from that small modem in the beginning of the video into the orbi router?
Yes
@@GeekSmart Then you have two routers in line - this is not good. One of the routers must be set to BYPASS.
@@John-B91 You have no idea what you're talking about. He connected his modem to router with the cable, not router to router.
I have a pole barn 125 feet away from my house. There is a cable from my router to the barn. would this work to extend my network to the barn?
Did your orbi have high latency that made online gaming impossible?
If you have modem with built-in wi-fi do you disable that wi-fi?
Correct, you should disable all router functions from your combo unit
I want to use NordVPN with Orbi but I was told that Orbi does not support a VPN client. I like NordVPN because across devices. If I still want to buy Orbi, what is my choice of a good VPN? Thank you.
I know you can use OpenVPN, but I don’t have much experience with it as I don’t use a VPN
I’m currently using Netgear x10 router can the Orbi just be connected to it and does the Orbi router let you connect to WiFi or is it only the satellite
The Orbi would replace your X10, and both the Main Router and Satellite have a WiFi connection
I have a question, im looking at buying orbi model #RBK753S as it looks about the same maybe a little newer with 2 satellites. Anyhow my question isssss… I have a t3200 modem/router, can I just plug this into it and setup with same network name and password as my t3200 and will it work. Reason I want to keep the same as I have security system/cameras smart devices ect. I don’t want to have to change on 50+ items in my home
Do you have to use the app especially if you're not using the satellites?
It is designed for App setup
Can i connect the ethernet cable directly to the ORBI unit instead of through a modem
Sorry no. The Orbi system is just a router and not a router/modem like you would get from your isp.
Stu's Tech Time no longer true, Orbi has a model CBK40-100NAS that has a built in modem & router.
Is this good for gaming? Please let me know. Would want to spend my money and get a good deal!
Yeah. MU-MIMO, Mesh solution, with 3000 (1733 + 866 + 400) speeds should suffice gaming needs.
so does the 1st router can be the modem as, or is it just a router ?
Just a router, these are routers, not modems.
can you plug the satellite directly into a device ? to get a better speed ?
If I do rest .do I have to start all over again?
because I have some devices blocked and I can't unblocked
The program doesn't show me my block devices

hi GS very good guide ...I bought a used rbk50 went through the process , selected the orbi57 network and got in but when it gets to the default admin PW on the app ..... 'password' . login fails ...at some point a previous owner has changed this PW ...I click on forgot PW and at once the "unable to connect" message comes,,,I've tried numerous times but all w the same result it goes around in a circle ...is there anything that I can do ...do you think or is the unit useless ?
thanks
Did you ever figure out, I have the same problem?
So am I able to ditch my old router and modem from my cable company and use this?
My ISP/Cable TV does not require external modem. You connect any router via RJ45 cable to the data plug Cat 5/6. Will this work without modem?
No, in that case, you need to buy MODEM CUM ROUTER of ORBI
Works for me, but I live in Norway
Can I use this without a internet provider?
Would this method work for the Verizon orbi router
i did not receive an instruction manual but follow this guy and just go w the flow
My router just keeps flashing white as soon as I turn it on is that good or not, no video is clarifying that?
Minipanda42 that means it’s syncing
Can you use this to add to you’re existing router from AT&T?
i suppose yes. Your router is basically a modem with added functionality.
Should I disable my wifi from the old router? The one that came from my ISP?
I have the same question.
I’ve heard that you’re suppose to disable the WiFi so it will just act as a modem...
You can do both. Mine is set up with 2 separate Wifi signals in my house. My original isp router is set to just a 2.4ghz WiFi which is handy when setting up smart devices such as plugs.
Yes. I had to keep my 5g enabled due to a wireless set top box but disabled the 2.4.
In the video, you keep saying router. Is it a router/modem combo, or will a dedicated modem be required for install?
Solomon Cook - modem is required for the install (usually provided by your internet service provider). This will act as your router.
This is a router, no modem, however they do offer a modem combo unit from Orbi now.
So I'm waiting to see how orbi TV is connected to the television and I'm still waiting
The optimal position for my satellite would be about 45 ft from the base station (though only through one wall). Do you think it will have trouble reaching that far?
+jaydeeification it would depend on the construction of the house. It definitely has the ability to go 45', but the type of material that the wall is constructed of does have a difference.
My home has brick and mortar walls even inside and the signal will not pass 45 feet away from main Orbi router.
do you have to have a netgear router to use this?
No any router/modem supplied from your isp will work.
quastion, how achive 4.2gb speed ? my app showing just 941mbs speed, is there missinformation from Netgar ?
can anyone help me please? what if i have a Modem Router (in other words, a router with a built-in modem)? will it work? is it compatible? every instruction or videos are about houses where there is a modem device apart from a different router device. thanks
A bit late, but yeah, but you can turn the Wi-Fi on that off.
Is orbi worth upgrading to from the nighthawk?
If you have to use an extener for the Nighthawk - I would recommend getting an Orbi. I have a Nighthawk X8 and use it for my wifi security cameras. When the power goes out I have to jump up and reset all my wifi cameras that are on the extender. With Orbi the all automaticall reset. Also, I have a Camera outside on my shed about 100 feet away and the Orbi has better connection that my Nighthawk X8. This is just my personal experience. Best Regards
Why would I want a fresh ip address on my modem?
Have you tried using the orbi as an access point?
+xabs1582 no
THis is a great video, I understand that I have to turn off wifi on my Fios Router. Can I name the orbi router SSID the same as my fios router, use the same password, so I do not have to change anything on all my devices?
Mine seems different? The satellite has a spot for a coaxl cable and no yellow part for internet cable and some rectangular lights at the front while the router has the yellow part, no coaxl cable peice and none of the lights at front
Yours has a built in modem
Don’t you need to press the sync button on satellite?
Can i connect rbs20 (satelite) to rbr40 (router)?
What if you want to use ethernet backhaul?
What is max speed of an Orbi?
Where did you get your watch band from?
Amazon
It’s actually 2 different bass that I used 1/2 of each from
very helpful, by the way, I am 73 and was able to do this
Good job young man.
Mine doesn't do blue or any colour . Just goes white and white and white and then nothing .. why's that ?
Maybe you should unplug your modem, plug it back it, then turn on ur orbi. Dont wait 5 mins after after you plug your modem in either.
Why can i not connect this to my ps4?
I got wireless cameras, and is there a wps button to get cameras to know your system... opened a online manual and yes, so it's all good
+Lynard Burt great!
I know this isn't the review. For me the deal breaker with this is the parental controls, which are atrocious. You can only turn off the internet for everyone and not per device. My old setup I would assign an IP address via the mac address and then turn the internet off on my kids at set times per device. Because of this I ended up with the Luma, which has their own issues with setup. I wish netgear would get their act together because I had to return a nighthawk for the same reason.
+Scott O'Connor get the router you want and add the Circle by Disney
The Circle by Disney app is now included with the Orbi as a free option
How about google wifi? Can you turn off the internet on per device using google wifi?
I see your comment is a year old. You absolutely can turn WiFi off by device now. Maybe at the time it wasn’t the case. But the remote management is beautiful on this. You can classify and manage individual device on the main and guest WiFi. Also, it is capable of wired backhaul now.
@@Morawka1 yikes!
