Best home investment ever!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Michael67435
Are you at home getting complaints from your wife or kids (or the neighbor) stealing your wi-fi? No more with this little baby. My cable company couldn't even believe how much faster this was than my existing router. The wifi coming into the house was supposed to be 300MPS, but I could only get 150 from my Linksys router. Now I'm getting over 300. This thing covers all 4000 sq feet of our home too. Even the basement. And I am sure the neighbor is happy too. Thanks Orbi...you rock!

Great performance; easy setup

On the expensive side but worth the price in my opinion. We bought it primarily due to poor coverage and penetration through our walls (~1500 sq foot). Now we have full coverage everywhere and we are getting the full 200mbps everywhere with, at times, 10+ devices connected.
The only downside is the inability to differentiate between the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, which the router does automatically, but with the overall ease and performance of everything it's just a minor annoyance.

A pleasant surprise
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mitchell72795
I live in an old brownstone apartment with brick walls that made WiFi connectivity virtually impossible. I had set up a Rube Goldberg Network involving a number of power channel connectors and extenders. Signal strength was awful and required constant re-boots and trouble shooting. The day I installed my Orbi network, my life changed. Signal strength went from spotty at 50Mbps to sing and reliable at 230+Mbps! Incredible! I never thought I'd see this day. Oh joy! Happy happy!

One of the best WiFi experience

I bought NETGEAR Orbi AC3000 recently and the installation is very easy. It was connected seamlessly with satellites. The easiest way to do is - first connect/sync the satellite first by next to the router/hub and then place it in desired location. The app is easy to use and helps you to test the speed check. I've read many reviews about the connectivity issues in ref to latest firmware, so I ignored to upgrade my Orbi and decided to keep with factory version as long it is works.

Not sure why we waited!

Easy to install, even for someone like myself without a lot of technology background. Walks you through easy step by step. I didn't have any issues setting up and set up guest network as well. Significantly increased my coverage, where before I could hardly get signal upstairs or in our bedroom (1st floor) but now with the orbi in the same location as our router was previously (living room, with large open ceiling). We have one satellite upstairs currently and have great coverage.

Good looking, and it works

The Orbi RBR50 router was easy to set up and automatically synced to the satellite. I have a lot of smart home devices (Alexa, smart plugs and lights, printer), so did have to spend some time getting them all back on the new network, but it was well worth it and I had no problems with getting them reconnected. A PC that I had to connect with a very long ethernet cord to the old router is now back to wireless wifi. I finally have whole house coverage, and couldn't be more pleased.

The BEST router I have ever owned!!!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I have had my Orbi RBK50 Tri-Band Wi-Fi System for about a month. It is incredible! I have a 400 Mbps Spectrum circuit and I get Ethernet speeds up to 478 Mbps on my MacBook Pro... and Wireless speeds up to 349 Mbps on my iPhone X. This blows away the speeds I was getting on the default router I received when the circuit was originally installed. I have 86 wireless devices in my house and they ALL work flawless! I love my NetGear Obri... and I tell everyone I know to buy one.

Mesh is the way to go!!!! Orbi!!!

I currently purchased a home with 2900 sq ft. and used the Spectrum router for a couple days. It was not giving me the range I need downstairs since the router is placed on the second floor. I plugged in the Orbi followed the easy instructions and sync the satellite downstairs. Now I have full wifi coverage and clock 330mps of a 300mps service anywhere in the house! Orbi is fantastic and easy to use. I highly recommend the Orbi to anyone struggling with wifi coverage in their homes.
