Orbi 770 Series

I'd go with the TP-Link Deco XE70 Pro, it offers the best balance of performance, future-proofing (Wi-Fi 6E), and value. Great for large homes with lots of devices, and supports multi-gig speeds if your fiber plan is fast. Better value than Orbi 770 unless you really need Wi-Fi 7.

You're not going to find anything that has 2.5gb ports that isn't expensive, though that's somewhat subjective. I have an Orbi 770 series that does a great job and support 2.5gb across all ports.

Just replaced my ORBI RBR / RBS20 Mesh system with new ORBI 770 series. Happy with speed and throughput improvements and more consistent and reliable coverage. So far so good

I have the exact same one. Just bought the orbi 770 today with prime day deals. Loved the last system but clearly it was getting overloaded with all my devices. Haven’t been able to connect all my lights in basement for over 3 months. This should fix it:)

So your only reason to upgrade is because the RBR40 is end of life I assume, speeds are all good. Have you considered the Orbi 770? Newer tech than the RBK and works well in a wired backhaul environment. It is an entire system also, so you probably wouldn’t need to fork out for an AX6000 in addition

It's still going to net them better and more reliable and consistent performance than Netgear if they're coming from Orbi 770/870/970.

I just upgrade to the Orbi 770 and am very happy with my investment. We have about 20 devices hooked up and the internet speed is extremely fast. We live in a brick house with plaster walls. Make the investment. You will not be disappointed.

Has anyone found a way to get the Signal Strength of connected devices? RSSI at either the device or Router end would be super helpful in positioning devices and satellites. I can't believe it's not burried in the menu someplace. I'm 2 days into Orbi 770 after being an ASUS guy for the last 7 years.

Sounds like OP already made the switch, but I can provide my specific experience for the benefit of others. I ran the RBK852 config for the past three years and it was absolutely rock stable. Never had any issues with it despite a house full of devices and multiple 4k streaming TVs. I was itching to

Looking forward to what you see. My one concern is that the Orbi is quad band while the AP7 is only triband. I have the Orbi 770 system too, and it worked pretty well, but I kept using the 970 kit ( with an extra satellite).
