NETGEAR Orbi Wall Mount Kit RBKWM-10000S

Bought a 960 series router and two satellite kit (RBRE963) to replace our aging (but still functioning) Orbi RBK53 WiFi mesh setup... which had been brilliant... but we'd simply outgrown it. It was struggling to hang onto the concurrent connectivity of our ever-expanding devices around the home and it would reboot itself more than occasionally in what I suspect was just it trying to keep up. So... seven years of relatively solid service later (and now off to a good home and in the hands of much less WiFi demanding family friends)... in comes the 960... and BOOM, what a difference.Installation was easy... the web interface is the same as before... so once in and configured to replicate our previous Orbi, we were up and running. I have since bought an additional satellite (a used one for reasonable money) to put in our garden room so that the Ring security camera and Echo smartspeaker in there get a decent signal, along with the various TP-Link smart switches that control our garden lighting and pond features. Problematic at first (lots of disconnections) but once I'd turned the WiFi transmission power down (down from 100% to 25%) everything worked perfectly. Even some of the devices in our 'WiFi blackspot' kitchen all connected with a strong signal and finally, no drop outs to the Echo device in there. And another bonus is that they're compatible with the existing RBKWM-10000S wall mounts that the old Orbi's were on (once you remove the bracket adaptor). Well done Netgear for not screwing the upgrading customer over with that one.So... any downsides? YES! Firstly, it's outrageously expensive. There's no getting away from that. It's just hideously priced and what's worse is router security and parental controls are pricey subscription add-ons! Given the cost of these things, why is that functionality not included as standard!? Second... these have grown in physical size by quite a bit over our previous Orbi devices... maybe that's just a consequence of their better antenna arrays and therefore better connectivity but these are big lumps of hardware. And third... please improve the web user interface because it's old, slow and not pretty.Apart from that, I am really happy with my purchase (especially as I caught them on a bit of a rare Amazon discount moment which chopped quite a bit off of the RRP). Highly recommended and hope to get another seven odd solid years of WiFi coverage from it.

cost is high but so is performance...just works everywhere now. Brilliant support team too

These mounting brackets work fine for most models of orbi (all of the ones in this shape anyway). I’ve marked down a star because I think the price is too high for what it is and I’m sure I wouldn’t be alone in thinking that these wall mounts should be included with the orbi’s: considering the price you pay for the kits.

Looked at a few versions of this bracket on line and decided to pay more money and get the Orbi version, good product , a bit overpriced I feel, and 1 poss issue if you have 3 or 4 ethernet cables to run as I did the hole in the bracket is tricky because its tight getting the J plugs in but I did manage it just be careful. Would recomend

I've no idea why I didn't buy this sooner. The orbi satellite used to get hot and cut out thanks to my son standing it on top if his desktop pc. I mounted this on the wall about 10 inches from the roof. Used some conduit to conceal the wires dien the wall to the pc and other consoles and bingo. No heat issues, perfect WiFi as usual from netgear and everyone is happy again. Don't buy fake, these just work. Trust me I tried the others first.

Well made perfect fit but is a little overpriced for what it is.

The accompanying screws weren't helpful for me. I just used double sided tape to stick this on the wall. Job done

It works well and holds the orbi
