psinide Posted January 28, 2022 Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 Basically, with tri-band, you can get a dedicated back-channel so your actual wi-fi channels are not bogged down with router-satellite communications 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think single routers can give the same experience as mesh, whatever they tout. It's just...physics ? Anyway, do look at Ubiquity. Prosumer stuff will work and last better than typical consumer item. If you are willing to spend, Ubiquity will likely work better. Tagging @Shantz who has experience with them. I think he has moved to more hardcore networking stuff now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubiquity is too overkill for my use and with all the other expenses coming up, a bit too pricey as well. I will mostly just get RBK50 when the sale hits.

I'm going to try and source this from abroad, will be around 25-26k I am a bit worried about the 40 device limit though. I have many wifi based switches around the house, total count goes well above 50 at the moment. Edited January 28, 2022 by psinide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available for 35k in India which is pricey. From US, you can get it for 26k. I would have gotten it too if I were able to source it. It does say 40+ devices but I don't think all the 50+ devices will be hitting it at one moment which is what I think they mean by the word "concurrent". RBK50 going for 19k right now.

You will get same performance on a good AC router (I get full speeds (500Mbps) at same distance with Wifi 5). Plus it only has 2 LANs on satellite compared to 4 on RBK50 kit. Pick what you need best. I think if one's looking for Wifi 6, get the RBK852, else stick to Wifi 5. Wifi 6 is undergoing so many revisions that it's probably better to stay put till next upgrade cycle.

Wifi 6E is kind of an addendum to Wifi 6 to use the 6GHz bands. RBK852 is wayyy too expensive even to pick up from the US. I'm looking for a solution for when my home will be ready to cover about 2000 sq. ft. The way floor plan is, I think using the RBK753 with 2 satellites should give me a uniform coverage through out the house. As for the LAN ports, I will use a switch to add more. All my wired devices will be in the living room, so just need one 8-port switch for all of them. I am also planning to get another switch to connect Cat6 cables which will run through the walls into each of the rooms. This will also help me get a wired back channel. Will have to check feasibility once the interior work starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, it is separate and doesn't have devices supporting 6Ghz as of now whereas a lot of devices already are wifi6 capable such as PS5, iphone etc. For any new purchase I'd suggest getting wifi6 as even cheap routers have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aercy Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 It’s all very costly affair. 10 years back we used to think router above 3K is expensive and here we are talking about mesh system costing 30k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to run my RTX2070 Super gaming PC along with 32” 4K monitor and 3.1.2 soundbar off the spike buster, so I needed the 15amp one.

Bird Bird Bird Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Can anybody recommend good iPad repair shops in Delhi/NCR ? I need a battery replacement for my iPad, and have booked a slot with Rapid Repair. In general, looks good. My previous experience with some phone repairs in some shops in Noida has not been great. Any other repair shops recommended ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thahir Sadik Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi fellow community , I am new here. First of all a big sorry if I am disrupting the community standards. I am getting an Xbox one X from ❤️ . I would like to know the options about choosing a 27/24 inch 144hz gaming monitor or 32inch HDR10 Enabled Hd(60hz) ready TV.

Thank you happy Sunday Forget about HDR10 monitors, HDR of an form isn’t good in most of the inexpensive monitors. If you are looking to spend 70k+ then LG CX/C1 48inch is a better option than any monitor. Example of a new HDMI 2.1 monitor priced at 73.5k But it gas VESA HDR400 rating, not even 600.
