Review because I purchased NetGear's "ORBI (RBK50)" mesh wifi.Satisfied with the speed and range
Please note that this is a rough review, so it is not a detailed explanation.
The circumstances will be described later, but I just needed it, so I decided to introduce the mesh wifi in a hurry.
Although there were several options, I decided to purchase "NetGear Orbi (RBK50)", which has a reputation for speed and range.

Background to the introduction
Roughly about the background and other options.
I returned to Shizuoka from Tokyo last year, but recently the internet was particularly sick, and I was worried about not only speeding down but also repeated cutting.
The main work is on the 2nd floor, but the routers and modems are on the 1st floor, so I thought that the effect would be great, but last year it wasn't that bad.
However, recently, even if I just go online, it will fall, the worst when watching a video, and it seems that my work will be hindered, so I thought I would try it on mesh WiFi.。
Therefore, the main purpose is to avoid the situation where line cutting occurs intermittently.
Several options
Until I bought it, I looked up and thought for a few days, and narrowed down to four.
For the time being, I chose from something that can be purchased on Amazon.
TP-Link WiFi 無線LAN トレンドマイクロ セキュリティ デュアルバンド AC1300 3年間無料 2ユニットセット メッシュ Wi-Fi システム Deco M5【Amazon Alexa対応製品】 Deco M5 2-packTP-Link¥15,200(2022/03/06 14:16時点) Amazonの商品レビュー・口コミを見るAmazonThis "TP-Link DECO M5" is relatively inexpensive, focusing on security, and the size is compact and safe, so it feels like a candidate for the time being.
Next is "LinkSys Velop".

However, although the speed is the same as "TP-Link DECO M5", the price is more than doubled.
Next, "NetGear Orbi RBK-20".

However, although it is a recommended article at an early and recommended article, there are many things that do not list the model number for some reason, and when I looked into it, I was confused with the "RBK50" or what it was.It seems to be almost the same as the three introduced.
Since it is inevitable, "NetGear Orbi (RBK50)" was the final candidate for referring to overseas articles.

As an aside, maybe there is a rumor that the successor model may appear in the next announcement.
In any case, the reason why I finally chose "NetGear Orbi RBK50" was the three elements: speed, range, and stability.
NetGear Orbi RBK50 specifications
Then I introduced the specifications roughly.
It has a performance like this.
According to the explanation, it is "1LDK ~ 3LDK/2nd floor to 3 stories/3-6 rooms with 1 router+1 satellite", so I think that a general house is enough.In my case, it seems to be a bit over.
However, it is necessary to be careful because it does not support V6 plus.
In this regard, I have no problem, and it is the speed and cover range to decide the introduction.
Check and review "ORBI RBK50"
Then the real thing.
This is my first purchase, so I'm purchasing a router and satellite set.
First, from the accessories.
It is a simple installation guide and equipment, but the basic settings will be performed through the app.
At first glance, the design is the same, but there is a difference between white and light blue.
The white one on the left is satellite, and the light blue on the right is the router.
The back side looks like this.There is a WAN port, and the satellite and the back may be better.
The port part is up.
I think the good thing about the Orbi RBK50 is that there are four LAN ports in satellite.
Even so, it looks like an aroma dufuser, or it's sober.
Then follow the app to proceed with the settings.
The setting is from the app
To set the router and satellite, install the application on your smartphone or proceed with the network.
I used the app because it seemed easier to set it from the app.
Both Android and iOS are supported.
The setting itself is not particularly different, and it is OK if you proceed according to the instructions of the app, so you will omit it.
However, when you log in the Orbi app on the way, you can also select a login method using the fingerprint sensor of the smartphone, but for some reason the phenomenon that cannot be logged in (even if the fingerprint sensor is authenticated, it is on the next screen.(I didn't go)).
There was no problem by canceling once and entering the username and PW, but it may be good to not set up a fingerprint sensor when setting the first time because it is bad for the heart.
After succeeding in logging in, you can use it by proceeding with the settings, and you will be able to check the "Orbi" connection status in the app.
In addition, you can measure the line speed and set the parental control.
So, I tried using the line speed measurement function in the app.
I tried it several times, but the average download is about 380Mbps and the upload is about 480Mbps.
To be honest, I have no complaints because it is more speeding up than the router I used so far, and it became comfortable without cutting the line.
However, I thought the router I used before was not bad too ...
Amazonで詳細を見るIn terms of speed, the download is about 180-250Mbps, but when it gets heavy, it did not get 50Mbps, so what is the range or what is it?
However, I noticed that the number connected to the router was visualized by the app, but it may have been simply a capacity.
After that, there was a problem in the connection range ... in any case, it seems that there was no doubt that the mesh WiFi or satellite terminal should be added (laughs).
Summary - High but good shopping
So, I roughly reviewed "ORBI RBK50".
Certainly the size is large, but I think it's a mesh WiFi that has the same performance.
The router was replaced in the place where it was originally original, but due to the relationship between outlets, etc., we decided to put it on the back of the game.
Then, you can connect to the PS4 with the right condition, so was this okay?
The main purpose this time was a network that was hard to cut, so I think the purpose was achieved.
If it was just that, I thought that there was no problem with other mesh WiFi, but I chose "ORBI RBK50" because I wanted to secure the line speed.
As a result, I am very satisfied because it was more stable than one router I used earlier and the speed of speed.
What I actually thought about was that if you were looking for the stability of line connection without emphasizing speed, even if you do not forcibly choose "ORBI RBK50", it will be "RBK20" below or "TP".-Link deco M5 "seemed to be good.
If you want to have as much room as possible, such as sharing games and heavy files or working on the cloud, I think the "ORBI RBK50" is a good option.
If there is no problem with the connection number and range, the earlier buffalo is enough.It's kind to your wallet.
That's why if you are worried that the net in the room is not stable, you may want to consider the introduction of a mesh WiFi once!
