Hello, Unfortunately, we don't have the answer for this case specifically related to Sunrise equipment. We advise you to contact the operator, who will probably be able to help you based on their experience with their customers and the Connect Box.
Unfortunately, these cannot be ordered individually as they are not (any longer) available. At the moment, we do not have any suitable additional satellites on offer because your system does not support WiFi 6.
Yes, that is possible. You can operate the device in access point mode and then connect other devices to increase the coverage.

The Premium Smart Parental Control package is included as a 30-day trial version, the full subscription, which can then also really protect, costs around 70 dollars every year. In my opinion, this is extremely expensive for a function that is included completely free of charge in the TP-Link Deco M5, P9 or X20, for example, and does not include any subscription costs. A detailed overview of what is included in Netgear Smart Parental Control can be found on this page: https://www.netgear.com/home/services/smart-parental-controls/ For comparison, a TP-Link M5 with three WiFi routers costs around 210 Swiss francs and offers Parental Control free of charge. TP-Link Deco M5 Dualband WLAN Mesh 3er Set (AC1300) https://www.tp-link.com/us/homecare/ TP-Link HomeCare also offers antivirus protection and antimalware protection for all devices in the WLAN.
Yes, it doesn't matter how you connect to the internet.
No idea. I connected it to the Swisscom one
Hoi the internet says that you can combine the orbis. But I only have 50s.
Sorry, I got 3 aborts / errors when asking questions, but it still went through.
Never had the problem.... Have you synchronised the units? By means of the button on the back panel?

Hello Ccalabrese, about your questions. Can I use the Swisscom Internet Box2 for the TV Box and the Orbi system at the same time? Yes, you can do that. How do I connect the Orbi Set to the Swisscom router? You connect the Orbi router to the Swisscom router via a network cable and the Orbi satellite then extends the Wifi wirelessly. BUT Unfortunately, in the past I had more and more problems with interruptions with the Swisscom Box+ and the Orbis on Swisscom TV, so I switched to the WLAN boxes from Swisscom at the end of last year and have had no more interruptions since then. Unfortunately, Swisscom doesn't make it easy to use secondpart products, but I don't want to assume that they did it on purpose.

The idea is that all Orbi Home devices are compatible. The best coverage is achieved with RBR50 and the RBS50 satellites. Any other satellite can synchronise with the existing system and extend the coverage. It is possible to install up to 3 satellites in one system.

No they don't have to :)
Yes, that is possible. Personally, I use 3 satellites. There is a line, which can be found in the online manual.
I also looked for the 2.4 Ghz option recently and couldn't find it anywhere. I had the same problem with a device that I couldn't connect, but it worked at some point anyway. I think you will have problems with a repeater that connects properly. I had already used repeaters from Netgear and was never satisfied with them. The repeater would then simply forward the components to the Orbi. Wouldn't it also work to connect an access point to the LAN port of the router or satellite? That way, your 200 devices would not all have to access the Orbi via WLAN and repeater, but via LAN between AP and Orbi.
According to research, this function is unfortunately not available with the Orbi WIFI 6 either.
Yes a return would be possible and the amount will be refunded. However, please note our return policy, as opened products will only be taken back at a discount: https://www.digitec.ch/de/wiki/560
Not in my opinion. The way would be to connect the Orbi router as an AccessPoint to the Sunrise router via Ethernet cable and then use the wireless from the Orbi. The wireless from the Sunrise router can then be switched off.
As far as I know, Orbi only supports VLAN bridging on the WAN side. Why should the router for fibre 7 have to be able to do that? The following question also arises for me. If you order fibre 7, do you have a fibre connection and an OTO box or? As far as I know, the Orbi router does not have such a fibre connection. If you wanted to use the Orbi pair for that. I also have fibre 7 and bought the router recommended by Init7. Since I had to hang it in the closet, I also bought this Orbi starter set. I use the Orbi router as an AccessPoint, which works wonderfully. For this, my Orbi router is connected to a Lan socket, which is connected in the wall cupboard from the OTO socket via the router.

If you ask the customer service nicely, you might get a refund.
According to my information, they are currently running a promotion with various Netgear products. PS: Please note the community guidelines: https://www.digitec.ch/de/Wiki/4490

Hi Adrian, I'm not sure how you connected your devices to the Wi-Fi. In my experience, you have to let the devices dial in to the 2.4GHz and then it works. At least that's how it worked with my TV. I hope I was able to help you. LG

Netgear Germany gave an answer to exactly this question via Amazon a year ago: maximum 3 satellites. I don't know if this has been extended via a firmware update in the meantime. I have 2 satellites and have hardly any signal losses at a distance of approx. 18 metres (distance between router and first satellite approx. 9 metres and another approx. 9 metres to the second satellite, with several brick walls in between....). So even with 2 satellites there is still plenty of room for improvement, and even more so with 3...
