Excellent extended coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mike67549
We received the Orbi RBK50 system as a Christmas gift from our daughter, who was concerned that our previous router did not reach parts of our home, including a detached guest house. We have a 5,000+ s.f. home with thick concrete walls so getting full coverage is a challenge. The new Orbi system covers the entire house, the guest casitas, and much of the outdoor living space. Streaming quality is excellent on TVs, Roku, Amazon Fire TV stick, and other connected devices.

Worked perfectly.

We have a 100 year old two story house with plaster walls. Regular wifi was not able to work even with several boosters. Orbit with two satellites was able to provide strong coverage for the entire house and the detached garage apartment and the whole yard! It is a game changer. We can stream movies that we never could before and not get dropped constantly from the internet. It also works with one password and you don't have to log into whatever booster is closest to you.

Great WiFi System
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Eric92866
Was skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but have nothing negative to say about this system so far. Super easy to setup and get started. My WiFi speeds went from 30-50mb/s on mobile devices to 100-120mb/s. Wired gaming connections are reliable and as fast as a true wired connection which I've always done in the past. I have one router and one satellite in a 2800sqft home with the modem and satellite on opposite ends of the house (~80 feet) and on different floors

Easy Install, Great Performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Pau7l6225
I've been in IT for nearly 40 years, so I get called to fix other's network and PC issues. So when I got a call from a friend whose Ethernet over Power network was running slow (< 2Mbps), I decided to replace it with the Netgear Orbi. Easy installation, very good security, and better throughput than the powerline solution. With the added benefit of better WiFi throughout the house. And the Ethernet hub built in to the satellite eliminated extra hardware in the home office.

Met high expectations

I read a half dozen comparisons among leading mesh products before targeting Orbi. It was, indeed, easy to set up and delivers the promised strong signal, eliminating the annoying dead spots that comprised about a third of the house. Thanks to the ports on the Orbi satellite it is physically connected to a Smart TV enabling the TV's Internet features that were previously inaccessible and eliminating the need to buy a wireless adapter. Also, my wife likes the Orbi design.

I needed extended range and got it
on May 29, 2019

Although I've been happy with my Airport Time Capsule, I've added smart home devices throughout my home and needed extended range. So I bought the package that includes one router and two satellites. My smart devices are now working more reliably. The only part of the house that doesn't get a strong signal has foiled sheathing. Apparently no wifi is capable of penetrating the aluminum vapor barrier. The Orbi system is pricey, but seems to be worth it. Setup was simple.

Works Great
on May 29, 2019

Spreads the signal in my house much better than my old Linkseys extenders. The set-up is relatively simple after watching installation videos online. Internet signal has always been an issue in my old house of concrete and thick walls, making it almost impossible to have home security cameras around my house. The orbi has helped make it possible. Even though the signal still isn't great in the farther reaches of my carport, it's still far superior to what I had before.

Perfect for big house!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Bryan33977
My wife and I blended our families in June, moving 2 adults and 4 kids (including 2 heavy gamers and 2 Netflix addicts) into a 3,000 sq ft, 2-story house with finished basement. Internet enters from one corner, so WiFi was terrible through most of the house.
The Orbi mesh system is fantastic! Set up was very easy with the app. Since installing it, we are getting 230 Mbps throughout most of the house (basement, main floor and upstairs). I honestly couldn't be happier.
