Netgear Orbi RBK50 set
Question about Netgear Orbi RBK50 set
Unfortunately, no dedicated 2.4 Ghz can be set up with the Orbi. Now there are more and more end devices such as WLAN-enabled lamps, sockets, etc. that cannot handle this. Until recently, there was a hack, but Netgear seems to have stopped it. Does anyone know what to do? Could I connect another repeater to the Orbi for the 2.4 Ghz only components? I need one that can handle about 200 components.
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.
