Questions about Netgear Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System AX6000 (RBK853)

Switch off the WLAN of the Swisscom Internet Box, connect an Orbi Mesh Router to a LAN connection of the Swisscom Internet Box. Restart. The entire network is then taken over by the mesh router. Then unplug all devices from the Swisscom Internet Box and connect them to the Mesh Router.

Yes, this is possible but must be configured via computer. However, this is not necessary as the Orbi automatically assigns the correct frequency band.

The Orbi needs about 10W (measured).

The quickest way to get such answers is here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/NETGEAR-Forum/ct-p/de-netgear I have had extremely positive experiences there and my system is running as stable as never before.

I don't know. But I have uninstalled the Orbi again. I kept having dropouts in connection with my UPC modem and tried a lot of things - including installing specialists and probes. None of it worked. I have now bought and installed Asus. It "only" gives 460Mbps instead of Orbi's almost 900Mbps but works fine.

No, only the router can act as access points.

I have connected the main module with an Ethernet cable to the first satellite, from there it goes via a Devolo Gigaset to the next room because I don't have a cable there. From the Gigaset satellite via cable then to the second RBK50 satellite. The connection between the main module and both satellites is shown as "wired" in the app and I have the full functionality of the app. I have already carried out FW updates twice. The first time I set it up with a Wi-Fi connection, and only then did I set up the satellites in their final location and connect them via cable. It was no problem at all. When setting up, the app sometimes did not show the current status of the satellite, this seems to be a timing problem. However, the setup itself worked reliably.

You connect it to the Lan port of your router/modem. The provider doesn't matter. That's the beauty of standards.

Hello, Sorry, but I have no idea. I use a Synology and I have access to it from everywhere.

I am a layman myself but I will try to answer some of your questions. Just to clarify before I explain things here, a wireless router consists of three things: -First, a router that controls the traffic between its own network and the infinite networks that exist. -Secondly, a netword switch, which controls the traffic between your own devices connected to your network. -And thirdly, a wireless access point (AP for short), which makes the network wireless and connects wifi enabled devices to the network. Question 1: This is called triband, this is built in especially in the newer Wifi 6 mesh systems. This allows the different AP's (Access Points) to communicate with each other without affecting the other two bands. A band can be thought of as a lane on the motorway. Devices are vehicles travelling in these lanes. If you have only two lanes, the different Ap's have to communicate over these lanes and slow down the whole traffic, but can also be slowed down by e.g. a slow Tracktor (an older device). If you now add another lane that only serves for the communication of the different APs, then they have their peace and can always work undisturbed while all other devices are driving on the other two lanes. That is why such routers use triband so that they can guarantee the high speeds of the Wlan 6. 2nd question: Such devices exist, but they are less and less built for "normal" houses, because many prefer to have just one connection to the network and the other two ap's can be distributed where they want. I found these routers, but I'm not sure if they have all the ports like on the first picture. ASUS ZenWiFi XT8 WiFi 6 AX6600 (2 Pack) Question 3: Yup every system has a weak point. If the main router fails then nothing works. There are probably expensive routers that you can run redundantly, but for a private network at home I find that almost excessive. But if you're looking for something like this, I recommend you get advice from professionals who can also install such a system at home. Now what you are looking for: I've searched around a bit myself and haven't found anything that exactly meets your requirements. There will always be the weak point that if the main router fails the whole system is down. One possibility would be Ubiquiti https://www.digitec.ch/de/brand/ubiquiti-5685?q=ubiquiti&take=75 You can buy everything separately, i.e. router, a network switch and also several Ap's to build up your own system. But even that will have a weak point. I hope I could be helpful and have fun building your network :)
