- Model Number: RBK13-100NAS
- Product Name: Orbi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (3 Pack)
- Color: White
- Security
- Data Encryption: true
- Encryption Type: WPA, WPA2, WPA2-PSK (The security protocols or certification programs that protect the Wi-Fi network.)
- Firewall Type: NAT, SPI (The method the firewall uses to filter and process data to increase network security, primarily by blocking malicious traffic requests while allowing legitimate traffic through.)
- Security Features: NETGEAR Armor, Guest WiFi network
- Parental Controls: true (Allows user to block unwanted content, signals, channels, networks, etc. from being received or accessed.)
- Network
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number of Antennas: 2
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 4500 sq. ft. square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Input/Output Technology: MU-MIMO (Multi-user Multiple-Input Multiple Output) (Generally, multiple-input multiple-output communication technologies allow for more signals to be transmitted at a single time, which can improve the device's overall performance.)
- Number of 2.4Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. Because the 2.4 GHz band is used to transmit wireless signals to a wide variety of devices, there is often high amounts of traffic on that stream. But with multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 2.4 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a desktop computer, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that use more data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Number of 5.0Ghz Streams: 1 (A router's streams are like lanes on a highway. The more streams a router has, the less traffic congestion. The 5.0 GHz band provides high speed, short-range data transmission and typically has less traffic than the 2.4 GHz band. With multiple streams, each can be designated to a specific device for optimal performance. For example, if one 5.0 GHz stream is assigned to one device, such as a streaming media player, it leaves the remaining streams open for guest users, devices that need less data, or devices with specific band compatibility.)
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 2 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Supported: 2 (Maximum quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes that are able to be connected to the main router in a Wi-Fi Mesh System.)

Product Manuals
A: Orbi should be compatible with century link. The satellites do not have Ethernet connections. Neither satellite plugs into the router; they are set up around the house (we have one upstairs and one in our kitchen so it serves the outdoor tv and security cameras). The system is really easy to setup: the app guides you. We are completely satisfied with the mesh system.
Q: Will this work with Gigabit Internet
A: Yes, that’s what I’m running at home and it works perfectly.
A: Yes, you can add extra satellites.
A: I installed mine in about 20 minutes, its not to hard, all you do is follow the app. The app does most the install.
Q: Will this work with ATT internet? Does it just replace the wifi part for better house coverage?
A: Yes it does. We have ATT internet. Our internet connection throughout the house is much better.
Q: I have Fios, is this compatible?
A: undefined
A: I can honestly say my Orbi Mesh package (2 nodes) has increased my download speeds by a factor of 6. (600%) So, yes, I would recommend THIS over anything (3 mesh package) from Xfinity.
A: Yes! Put the 'router' portion of your modem/router combo unit in BYPASS mode. Then, from your 'modem', attach the MAIN Mesh Router Node from Netgear, using an ethernet cable. Place the OTHER wireless mesh node(s) around your house. GET READY for some blazing internet speeds!

Great system
Provides great Wi-Fi coverage for the whole house. Before I installed the system I had a very weak signal upstairs but since I installed the system I have a very strong signal. Speeds are at the level which I pay for not at the much lower speeds prior to installation. Installation was a breeze.
