Easy setup and great sq ft coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Wayne73305
Out of the box, the router is easy to setup and upgrade the firmware. Adding satellites is easy. I have a 4000 sq ft home plus a nearby office in a barn. The mobile app to manage the devices is easy to use giving all the needed info. No longer do you have to be a network engineer to setup an extended network...worrying about IP addresses, ports, and Conflicting SSIDs. When there is a need to dig deep into these settings, traditional full feature device login access is available. Mesh networks are the way to go.

Excellent wifi coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Sweeney31440
I purchased the Netgear Orbi because there was one room in our home that had spotty coverage with the internet service provided router. Without Orbi, certain devices in the room did not receive a strong enough signal to connect. With Orbi, my whole home now has excellent coverage. The coverage even extends out into the yard! Set up was quick and I am pleased with the increased coverage area and device connections to Orbi. Orbi is easily managed with the app and has a guest network that is easily toggled on and off.

Amazing
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Manny87634
So I purchased this router after about a week of researching. It came down to two routers, the Google WiFi and the Netgear Orbi. I decided on the Orbi because of the coverage and more advanced parental controls since I have two kids. The advanced parental controls (Disney Circle app) due come with a fee though which is not mentioned.
After purchasing over a month ago I have to say I'm very happy with my purchase. The setup was very easy. The parental controls work great. And the my WiFi coverage is amazing now.

Amazing speed and coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Vaibhav986
Had several routers, boosters and extenders earlier including nighthawk. But when it comes to wifi speed and range then orbi is the best. Best part is that i don't have to switch or select best extender, it's all automated switching. Have 300mb connection and I consistently receive 250 mb across the home....which is amazing....I only wish this is smaller in size, more flat that can be mounted on wall and have more ethernet ports. But if that's not ur concern and speed and coverage is important, then this is ur devise.

a big improvement
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: sher_koss93762
Wasn't perfectly easy to set up but also was not too difficult. Set aside a couple of hours for random glitches during set up.
The connection speed and reliability are very much improved. Connection now also very reliable.
The only thing preventing a 5-star review is that it would not accept a satellite placed on a different floor even though it was only about 30 feet away. Will try again--could have been another random problem. I followed the rule of "getting it working, then get it working the way you want".

Should have done this years ago
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: chrisbcole14494
Replaced a single access point with the AC3000 main unit and two satellites. I have many smart home wireless clients and was worried that changing out the network underneath them would lead to all sorts of chaos but simply by choosing the same network name and password during setup resulted in everybody joining the new network. Administration is very easy if you have little to no experience with routers as the more advanced settings are their for folks who feel the need to tweak their network to their heart's desire.

Best Ever
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Max27787
I work from home and have video and voice conferencing almost 10+ hours per day. My wife often is at home and watches video and does FaceTime while I am working. These devices work better than the Apple Airport mesh network I had. I've gotten all my coworkers and family to buy the same Orbi routers. The dedicated satellite device channel is key to making sure your browsing and Internet usage is optimal at all times. We also stream 4K for al our TV and Movie watching into my Roku and Visio TV...perfect every time.

Orbi RBK50
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: mlcabin31141
We got the Orbi after looking at it and the Eero to see if we could get good coverage in our L shaped house. The Asus router we were using would just about do the job but even with an extender it was tough on the far end of the house to get a consistent and strong signal. With the Orbi not only do we get good coverage there now but even in my loft of my shop. We have no drop problems and set up and config was easy. Even after a firmware update everything works great. Highly recommend this for a mesh system very happy
