Orbi AC3000 (RBK50) FTW!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jukka25457
I purchased the router/2 satellite combo to replace an IP installed router that just wasn't cutting it in a three bedroom, two-story home. It was centrally located upstairs but just didn't reach the downstairs living room. I Installed the Orbi base in a central upstairs room and the two satellites on opposite ends downstairs. Installation was quick and easy, without an hassles. Now, I have solid high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the house, even in the garage, outside in the yard and part of the street!

So far so good

We have been using the Orbi for about 3 weeks now, and WOW, the difference is amazing! As soon as I set it up, we noticed a change. Our house is about 3500 sqft with concrete walls/floor so we have always had problems with dead spots, but no more! All of the kids can connect to their devices while my wife and I browse on our computers and there is steady bandwidth for us all. I am very impressed and would recommend the Orbi system to anyone looking to solve their home wifi issues. Thanks, Netgear!

Excellent upgrade for entire home
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Ryan99369
Our home is 2300 ft^2 and this system works incredible. The farthest reaches of the home still get 50mbps. We even get service on our back patio which is a great plus with streaming music while hanging out.
The one issue we have from time to time is when devices switch satellites. This might be a flaw in mesh networks, as I've seen it with similar systems from time to time, but it can be annoying to have to disable and re-enable on a device to get proper connectivity. Not a deal breaker though.

Great product

My 3200 sq. Ft. Home sits on 3 acres with a large outdoor area between the house and detached garage. We built a Tiki hut by the pool and wanted to be able to stream content to the TV in the Tiki Hut. Bought this along with the outdoor satellite was setup and running in less than 30 minutes now we get our full bandwidth (500 MB) all over the house, backyard and garage. The app is super easy and lets you turn on/off a guest network with a single press. Couldn't be happier, highly recommended!

Fast internet over entire house
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Trevor77770
I was a little skeptical as to how this would be different then just adding a range extender. Which I did at one point and results were really not much different. After getting this and setting it up which maybe took 5-10min everything was up and running flawlessly. Seriously every room has the same internet speed as if you were right next to the router. Kids used to complain about lagging on their playstations, which now they don't. All in all it was a great purchase and I wish I did it sooner.

Orbi excellent coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Hector2784
I have trying several wifi devices trying to get the needed coverage for the whole house but always was getting blind spot or signal problems with repeaters. After reading several reviews I decided to try the Orbi RBK50. My signal and blind spot coverage is over. The package I bought comes with 3 umits but currently using 2 of them and got an awesome results. You get what you pay for. I am using it in AP mode and work like a charm. Get yourself a chance to try and end your coverage problem.

Great overall product
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Liem41341
I bought this to replace an aged router that was top of its kind when purchased. Due to the size and construct of the house and the increased demand of usage over the years, the Orbi did not disappoint. The Orbi scored well with me in all categories: ease of setup, ease of use, performance, and for my wife, aesthetically pleasing. For my kids, all they care about is the performance, and it delivers. I would recommend the product as a whole house WiFi platform for at least the next few years.

So far, so great

Went from a traditional router with a range extender to an Orbi with one satellite. Wifi speeds are literally 10x what they were.
Does take a little fiddling, though - firmware needed manual updating as the out of box firmware was too old to register the newest firmware file as valid. Had to update to the newest v1 firmware before I could update to the newest v2 firmware. And took some jiggering to get Ethernet speeds to match WiFi, once the firmware fixed the backhaul issues. Even so, five stars.
