help Netgear Orbi RBK963 FAQ
Is the Netgear Orbi RBK963 actually a Wi-Fi 7 system?
No, the product normally sold as the RBKE963 or Orbi 960 Series uses Wi-Fi 6E. Its newer 6 GHz band should not be confused with Wi-Fi 7, which appeared in later Orbi 970 Series hardware.
What units are included in the Orbi RBKE963 three-pack?
The package contains one RBRE960 router and two RBSE960 satellites. Together they form a quad-band mesh with a dedicated wireless backhaul between the Orbi units.
Will older Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 devices connect to the RBKE963?
Yes, its 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios remain compatible with older Wi-Fi clients. Only Wi-Fi 6E devices can use the additional 6 GHz client band.
Can the RBKE963 replace an internet provider's modem?
Usually not, because the Orbi router provides routing and Wi-Fi but is not a cable, DSL, or fiber modem. The provider's modem or optical terminal normally remains in place, sometimes configured in bridge or passthrough mode.
