Beats a wifi extender
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Wolfgang89711
We have a big house, 5,000+ sqft. So far we worked with a wifi extender, which was unreliable, went in and out randomly, which is super annoying. Plus the issue of numerous wifi networks with different names which forces you to constantly change your wifi network when moving through the house. All these problems are gone with the orbi system. Setup is easy. Now we have one network name throughout the house. Reliable. And we finally get the blasting download speed we are paying for. Should have switched earlier.

Serious Upgrade
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Brian22265
Going from a signal extender to the Orbi is a serious upgrade. An extended cuts your signal in 1/2 before you access it and it is also a separate sign in - so no continuous signal in the house. If we wak to the bedroom before it changed wifi networks and we had to sign in again - no more. One serious strong signal and sign in with three bars throughout my house and even the backyard! If you've had issues with signal or trying to watch Netflix in the bedrooms move up to this system - you will not be disappointed!

Completely Happy
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Steven84087
We built a big new deck and needed an exterior wifi. We decided to purchase the Orbi router and two satellites, one being the exterior model. The wifi is faster and stronger inside and is at full strength + outside on the deck It even reaches into the garden and the entirety of our back yard. I haven't experienced an ounce of trouble or glitches. The system was extremely easy to set up. My wife and I both work from home and we can both stay connected at a high speed all day long, even while sitting on the deck.

Excellent Wi-Fi system for home
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: TonyHoei46925
My house is very old from the 50s. Lots of walls that reduce connectivity. I have been struggling for years with lost connections until i bought orbi AC3000. The setup is really simple & fast. With the App, i can setup less than 15min and everything connected.
The only thing I concerned is the USB port to use as printers. Netgear need to have new version software to install in the pc for ReadyShare for printer. Their verison was 2014. And ReadyShare caused all my printers to be in paused mode. Unable to print.

Works as advertised
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Steven94955
Installed in a 3200 sf home with the router in one corner of the house and one of the satellites as far as 30' away and there are no performance or connection issue. The WiFi is as powerful as the wired connections throughout the house and up to 200 kbs. I can't compare with other mesh systems but am happy to drop my previous router and range extender. The installation went well but had to figure out a few things by myself. The app did not work for my installation so I had to do it with wired windows desktop.

Easy to setup and use
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Fernando92019
I was interested in obtaining a whole house wifi system that required minimal setup and kept a reliable connection while moving throughout the house. This NETGEAR Orbi High Performance does just that. It took me less than 15 minutes to go through the setup. I even had great success of using the ethernet ports on the satellites so no need to create additional ethernet ports in the house for those non-WiFi devices. I would recommend this product for those who want something to do what it says right out of the box.

A Good Choice for a Large Home
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mike11677
It's pretty early for a final review, but experience thus far is up to my expectations. I chose the larger Orbi due to the distances in my home. Set up was pretty easy. I still have a bit of trouble getting the middle satellite up to full power due to the longer distance from the main unit, however, I do get full speed on my speedtest on this satellite. Hoping for a firmware upgrade that provides more functionality for the USB ports. Overall, this is a much better solution than multiple routers or extenders.

Back channel key to throughput
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Lyndol18470
It just works and works screaming fast. The thing has more antennas than a cop car with dedicated back channel equipment to get your content out and suck in as much data as necessary. I love the app that keeps me apprised of what's going on and keeps itself updated with the latest speed updates and security measures. Orbi has warned me more than a few times that I was about to get scammed or spoofed. With netgear running the show I can just click ok and go on with my day. Thanks for the speed and peace of mind.
