Question 1

Will this work with virgin media hub or does it bypass that all-together?  are instructions available so that i can see what install involves?

Accepted Answer

It can do both. I’ve put my virgin router in modem mode because the Orbi is just so much better as a wired/wifi hub.

Question 2

Do I have to subscribe to armor” security ?

Accepted Answer

Please don’t! Netgear Armor is an additional service that comes at a price and has limited functions on this router. In other routers, Armor offers a lot of security functions but with this model you can only have the basic functions at the same price. Also, they activate the auto-renewal by default and stopping this is a nightmare as their customer service has no idea of how to deactivate this. After they charged me for an entire year, I asked to have the auto-renewal deactivated and they said there was no auto-revenewal. I contacted my payment provider and asked to cancel the auto-renewal but as soon as I did that they stopped my service, despite I have already paid for it. To be fair, your risk to activate a useless service that you will never be able to stop. It’s just not worth the effort.

Question 3

Is this official wifi 6 or draft wifi 6 ?

Accepted Answer

Dear Amazon Customer, 
Thank you for your interest in the NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System RBK852. Since the WiFi 6 standard has not yet been formalized by the organization that certifies the standards, WiFi 6 is still called draft.

Accepted Answer

Dear Amazon Customer,
the RBK852 and all the other NETGEAR devices you can find in the Official Amazon UK Store, should all be delivered with the UK plug.
