UP UP UPGRADE
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: David78727
I live in a brick house with plaster walls.....That being said I have had multiple range extenders scattered throughout. I have spent big money with low results. I discovered ORBI last week. I bought the AC3000 and disconnected 4 other devices. Immediate difference with just my netgear modem and ORBI with it's satellite my whole house has no dead zones anymore, and I can even stay connected outside!!! AMAZING UPGRADE!!!!! It's about time!

Easy setup and solid performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Edward71511
The setup took me only about 15 minutes, including customizing the settings. The System has been working with 2 PC's, 2 iPad's and up to 4 iPhone's together for a week, totally trouble free. The only "trick" to me is that, if the main router has been power-off and then power-on, the satellite needs to do the off-and-on as well to connect to the main router; it seems to me that the re-connection will not be automatic in a scenario like this.

Great Wifi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Ken59905
I purchased the Orbi because I could not get consistent WiFi in my garage. I was getting inconsistent streaming of video. To reach my garage the signal had to go through two concrete block walls. With the Orbi, I can place my second unit in the bedroom next to the garage. It gives me a good signal in the garage and that side of the house. It was easy to set up. I purchase it several months ago. I have had no problems with it since then.

Orbi ac3000
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Fwider79171
I had a google WiFi mesh system with the 3 routers before the Orbi and there is no comparison with signal strength the google system would drop off in the living room and master bedroom, but the Orbi has a 117mb down load every where even outside. The software for the Orbi is not as good as the google WiFi but it decent. I've only had it about a week and so far no real problems. My iPad took a while to get connected but that's about it.

Orbi is a win!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mom41302
Orbi helped address several of our home internet issues. Download speeds are much faster! I work from home so this is a win for me. Plus, no more complaints from my gaming son about how horrible our WiFi is. Most of all...mom control! I love the use of Circle in this Orbi to help me set time limits and manage my kids access to all that goes with WiFi. I can pause the internet whenever I want! Set up was easy. I highly recommend this product!

Simple, and very strong whole house WiFi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jeff49055
I live in an old lathe and plaster house of approximately 4,000 square feet and my old airport time capsule provided weak coverage. The Orbi with one extender covers my whole house with a very strong signal and high throughput, it was a huge improvement! The app works very well and the system was super easy to set-up. After doing extensive research and now using this product I definitely recommend purchasing the Orbi over its competitors.

Orbi - great performance missing some features
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Cliff68107
I bought the Orbi to replace my older Netgear and the performance is amazing. I get full bandwidth on WiFi. However it is missing some of the control features that were in the older router app such as parental controls. The Orbi used Circle by Disney - I have no idea why this would be a secondary app but it has very rudimentary features and if you want more you have to pay additional. Unless that's a big deal for you this router works great.

Built with ease
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mariyah71541
Before I had the orbi I had to use tricks as putting foil around my motem to boost my signal. But not anymore! The orbi and the booster allow me to have my motem in the office and myself in the bedroom and have great internet signal! Let's also talk about easy setup! It took me less than 10 minutes to setup my orbi!! Also to be able to control the devices on my Orbi by my phone is great!! It's one of the best purchases I've ever made!!
