Should've done this sooner
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Scott58275
After several great years with an Apple Airport Extreme, the old lady just couldn't hack it anymore. I listen to Mac Geek Gab weekly and trust Dave Hamilton's reviews. The Orbi system had the perfect mix of features for our family. Multiple ethernet ports on the back of each unit allow us to connect our home's A/V system to the satellite downstairs while all of the tech in the office can be wired to the Router upstairs in the office. Then of course, all of the iDevices are free to roam with the best signal in the neighborhood.

Happy with the purchase

Set this up for the parents. They needed better coverage to stream TV apps and Orbi delivered. The setup was simple enough but I think the software interface needs to be developed better. Specifically it was difficult to tell if the satellite was connecting devices because all devices were listed under the router. I looked online and found that this was an issue that others found as well after a recent firmware update. However the increased performance and other indications assured me that the system was working as advertised.

What a difference
on May 29, 2019

Went from internet provider router to Orbi...its a whole new world. Had one hiccup with router having magenta light...was still functional but couldn't access the control app. Read a blog post that someone just used a different Ethernet cable than what was provided. Made the switch and no more light. Functionality is easy and runs the whole house with ease. Even get good speed in our detached apartment with the ability to quickly set up a guest network. Orbi is a no brainer, especially for the price compared to linksys system.

wireless ethernet
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: kona98484
was originally going to run some ethernet cable up the walls and through the attic to reach my home theater on the other side of the house. orbi simplified my life and saved me money. now i can still connect all my legacy home theater components via their ethernet ports instead of wifi adapters which i don't have and still have high speed connectivity for streaming audio and video. i also have ethernet ports in my home office for my computer and voip. what more can you ask for? oh wait and i get wifi outside covering my 2 acres!

Works great

I bought this because I needed extended coverage. I live on an acre and have a house in front and one in the back with a shop. Needed coverage everywhere. I put the base and 1 wireless satelite in the main house and put the second satelite out in the shop. I connected the two satellites with cat 6. I have 'very strong' WiFi on every square inch of my property. I was expecting to be disappointed as things don't usually work like they are advertised. This system works great. It was also super easy to set up. Very impressed.

Extreme WiFi Speeds
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Chris58320
What a difference! I have 1 GB per second download and upload speeds from my ISP. However, my previous router was only allowing about 10% via WiFi. After installing the Orbi AC3000 I'm getting consistent speeds of 800 MB Up and Down! Additionally, I have no dead spots in my house now and I get the previously mentioned speeds consistently throughout my house. If your streaming 4K movies to your TV's directly or via Apple TV, Amazon Fire etc., or to any tablets you'll be amazed at the difference the Orbi makes. Great Purchase!

Amazing
on May 29, 2019

We started carrying these at my work place and they sounded interesting. After getting extremely positive reviews from everyone who got on I caved and got them. THEY ARE AMAZING. I don't have the fastest internet speeds but with the way they handle the signal its mind blowing how fast my internet it . And that's with two major games systems running, at least one smart 4k tv with a fire tv and all the other alexa devices running (3 dots 2 echos and a echo plus with 12 light bulbs. Just amazing what this thing can do. 10 stars.

Great for a large home
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Steve41139
I have a 3000+ square foot house with 2 stories and would frequently experience slow speeds or no WiFi signal on the far sides of the house. With the Orbi upstairs where the internet hookup is + the satellite downstairs, I have none of those issues anymore.
This router was also very easy to set up - I love it when a product 'just works'. In addition, the parental controls offered by the built-in Circle by Disney functionality is a nice touch. I am no longer the bad guy when the internet for my son's device cuts off night :)
