Orbi works!

Have a 3,600 sqft home and demark point is in the basement on the one side. Had trouble with normal wireless routers getting a signal to the other side of the house especially the second floor. Now I don't get complaints everyday about the Wi-Fi. Easy to set up for a novice. For peope like me in IT and want to customize, it is also easy to set advanced settings and security. Price is a little high but in the end it is worth it.

Orbi

Great coverage and speed. A bit pricey, but investment in core infrastructure for all others to ride on for years to come is beneficial, especially when high sensitivity to latency needs to be addressed. Could use some advance features in device mangement (granular control for which satellite or what frequency a particular device should give priority), bit in general current product fits 80% if not more of the type of user base.

Insanely good

Crazy easy to set up, it's been a while since I've used a recent Netgear product - the last one was a Nighthawk AC1900 router that finally died last year. Wow the progress seems amazing. Very happy with the performance - I'm not a hardcore gamer who needs spit second timing, so can't speak for that crowd. But throughout, coverage, reliability and stability (I do a fair amount of work at home), it's been flawless.

Fantastic

Owned a Google WiFi and was completely unsatisfied with the setup. The dual band was capped at 500mbps and one hop away saw speed drops of up to 80%. The orbi has had none of these issues. One hop away and I still have 90% the speed off the router and the setup was a breeze. My only complaint is that remote management and port forwarding are not as straight forward as I'd like but it's such a small part of the overall package.

Solid Replacement for Aging Apple Airport Extreme
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: CAPTBob50889
I was looking for a replacement for my aging Apple Airport. After doing a significant amount of research, I decided on the Netgear Orbi Home Mesh WiFi System (RBK50). Installation was easy and the coverage improvement through out our 3 level house (4,500 SF) with just one satellite is very good. Besides the coverage improvement, the throughput was a major upgrade to my Apple Airport Extreme (802.11AC). I strongly recommend it.

Great wifi mesh system
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Juan86906
I purchased the Orbi because my old wifi router wasn't able to reach all the areas in my 4000 sq ft house. I did some research and many reviews recommended the Orbi over other wifi mesh systems. After purchasing and installing the Orbi system, I am happy with the results. I don't have any issues connecting anywhere in my home and the garage is covered as well for my Rachio irrigation system. Overall, I give the Orbi 5 stars.

Orbi Rocks!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Kyle25505
I purchased and installed my Netgear Orbi system about 2 weeks ago and have been loving every moment so far. I have experience with the Eero mesh system as well and for me the Orbi is superior in every category. The only downside is that both the satellites and the base router are fairly large and not as sleek as some of the other mesh systems. The setup was easy and straightforward and the signal is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Simply the best
on May 29, 2019

I always dread upgrading routers. They are clunky, unintuitive, and generally a pain to install. Orbi is none of those things. The install was incredibly easy and took mere minutes. The accompanying app makes managing access beautiful and simple. And absolutely the most important thing... my entire home is completely covered in STRONG wifi signal. I highly recommend the Orbi system to anyone who wants to make home networking easy.
