Much stronger and better WiFi coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: R79473
We purchased the Orbi with a satellite because we were experiencing weak WiFi signals in our house even on the same floor that the Xfinity modem/router was locate. We connected our Orbi to the Xfinity modem and created a second WiFi router account. Now we get consistently strong signals both upstairs and downstairs, where the satellite is located. The Orbi signal strength is so much better that we have stopped connecting to the Xfinity router WiFi account. We are extremely pleased with results.

Works great!

We decided to finally pay the $ and try out the Orbit mesh system. We have about 3500 sq. Ft but needed better wifi in our basement where gaming is done and bedrooms are and also upstairs on the other side of our house. We were using huge amounts of data because wifi wasn't working in those areas. This system has changed all that! Our wifi works great in all corners of the house. Video games no longer lag, download speed is literally 50x's faster than before. We are very glad we made the purchase.

Investment well worth it

The Orbi system was worth the investment. I work from home and am always connected to the internet or using WiFi through my phone. This has prevented me from getting bumped through my work gateway. The speed with this is between 4-5x our old speed. The first day my wife downloaded an iTunes album in under 5 seconds. We even streamed a movie online last night through WiFi without a single buffer. It has been amazing so far and I look forward to what other home automation devices I can pair with it.

Great wifi coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Glen71881
I have had the Orbi (main unit and two satellites) set up in my house for almost one week. Not a long time by any standard, but so far so good. I live in a home with foot thick concrete walls and the wifi signal must travel past three of these walls to reach from one side of the house to the other. Past systems with extenders were not able to keep the same strength and speed. This system has good coverage in all the rooms with little or no degradation. It also has been working well with Alexa!

Awesome

Downloaded the Orbi app and the system installed itself flawlessly to Netgear CM1100 modem. I live in a 100 y/o old house with lathe and plaster walls - dead spot issues galore with both 4G and my previous WiFi router. Problem solved with Orbi. Streaming to multiple devices and WiFi calling are perfect throughout the house, and no drops with my NestCam on detached garage. Love being able to connect ethernet to the satellites. Also am liking the additional layer of security with Armor / BitDefender.

Sanity Saver
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Tonya49010
This has been one of the best investments I have made in a long time. I have a very large family, 4 adult kids + spouses = 13 grandkids. When we are all here I was having problems keeping everything and everyone connected. Forget speeds even on a gigabit connection. I was at my wits end. I also work from home. I can now do my job, connect the tablets and phones and gaming systems and be done. Not only am I done I have enough speed to really get my work done too. It really has saved my sanity.

Works great and easy setup
on May 29, 2019

The Orbi system coverage is great. My prior system used power line extenders and had issues where wireless devices would try to stay connected to weak signals instead of moving to stronger WAPs.The use of a single SSID (instead of separate 2.4 and 5GHz SSIDs) makes it easier to connect and stay connected. The speeds are fast at all points in the house now. I replaced the power line adapter with the wireless back-haul on the Orbi and the speed on the second floor is just as fast throughout the house.

No More Dead Zones
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dave52626
Purchased this because we were having issues with WiFi on our top floor with our router in the basement. We tried hardwiring an AP in and a range extender but neither were great solutions because the AP's performance was poor and the extender forced using another SSID. Using Orbi not only eliminated those issues and got coverage to our top floor but now we use the 5GHz band everywhere (all on the same SSID) so our speed is faster along with wider coverage. It has really improved our WiFi experience.
