I'm here a few hundred miles away from the studio to install this the Netgear
Orbi RBK23. Now Netgear did send this over but it's
not a sponsored video so bear that in mind and if you do want one there is a
link to it in the description down below. Now I'm installing this for a good
friend and someone who's been having a they're a tough time in the medical
world recently he's actually he's doing plenty fine but he has actually just
moved into a new house with absolutely terrible Wi-Fi. So this is Nathan. He is a
carpenter by trade and built or he call sheds and we call mansions and has a
rhabdomyosarcoma otherwise known as cancer he is doing fine though and of
course what's the best way to help her a poorly friend? Give them the best Wi-Fi
set up they can get for the new house. So we've got all of them out and as you can see the blue topped one
is the Router this is the one that we're gonna put where the existing Router is
but these can actually run in wireless access point mode if you you know your
existing router doesn't let itself into a modem mode or whatever else she can
just use these like great wireless range extenders and network switches as well
so that is that option is available but we're gonna try a few different
configurations and see where we go. So this is the one that's going down here
where do you want the other two satellites? Where'd you want this one?
that one probably upstairs in my office just underneath my PC would
probably work fine and this one in the kitchen just in the corner way cool yeah
I think the Wi-Fi saying was kind of the worst over that said anyway so what will
give that a shot and see if it actually works
right so now the Router and both satellites are in place let's go and set
them up and make them work with the actually Netgear modem that we've got
here as well. Setting up the Orbi is actually a pretty easy procedure there's
just a couple of menu screens that you go through basically just pressing next
I'd recommend letting it do a firmware update and we also have to use a Netgear
modem to actually get you know internet connected since it's a VDSL line as
opposed to straight fiber but once you do have it set up it's actually pretty
simple and we should probably go check how well the Wi-Fi signal is there at
the house. Full signal all right next to the router. Shall we check upstairs?
still full signal in the office and the Orbi's set up underneath the desk let's
have a check in the kitchen. Full signal again in the kitchen working completely
fine. Literally furthest awat point in the house still full bars.
So that's it all set up and we've had a quick test to see how well the you know signal is
working and it's actually really impressive especially out back we're
getting some pretty great signal where the default router really wasn't that
wasn't handling it that well in terms of speeds it's not much of an upgrade
currently although is a new Line and there is often a bit of optimization on
the IPS end that can mean after a small while your speeds can go up so
hopefully we'll see that happen with here too otherwise that's pretty much it
if you want to check out the RBK23 that we're using here then feel free to take
a look at the link in the description thank you to Netgear for sending these
out although as I mentioned this isn't a directly sponsored video if you do want
to check out my review of an Orbi kit the bigger add to unit one and check that
out in the cards up above and otherwise that is kind of its if you want to
support the channel and keep me making these videos and their Monday Wednesday
