Discussion topic: Use Netgear Orbi RBK50 with Sky SR203

This message was authored by: Bribble · ‎02 Feb 2025

Hi,

Is it possible to use a Netgear Orbi RBK50 with Sky SR203?

There is a thread on here linked to from Google, but it unfortunately no longer exists.

The reason we want to use the Orbi is because SR203 Wireless range is too poor.

Thanks in advance.

@Bribble

The netgear rbk50 can replace the sr203 on full fibre so long as its on at least the following firmware

RBK50

V2.5.0.22 and above

It can also be used alongside the sr203 with the sr203 wifi disabled

@Bribble you can use an Orbi unit behind a SR203 if you want for simplicity set the Orbi to operate in access point mode with the Sky hubs wifi turned off. You could set the Orbi in router mode and have a double NAT set up which is bit more complex. Or as @cookiemonsteruk suggests use it directly connected to the ONT if you have full fibre.
