Orbi 3000
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Richard15501
This system is amazing. My cable comes into my house at one end. At the other extreme end (3,000 sq ft) I used to have little or no WiFi. I have 120 mbs where it comes in with Ethernet. Now at the other end of the house (with Orbi 3000) I have the same 120 mbs WiFi. Even further away in my garage with my 'smart' Chamberlain garage opener I have 110 mbs. Absolutely amazing since I used to have a wireless router with 2 additional extenders and the best I could do was 25 mbs. I strongly recommend this system. (Router and 2 satellites)

Robust Mesh Router
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: S.76139
The Orbi is a very easy to use and reliable router. The set up was intuitive and took just minutes. I bought the Orbi to replace the TP-Link deco system. The downside of the Deco was that it required constant communication with TP-link for the router to function, which would get interrupted on frequent occasions by the cable modem. Since I've switched to the Orbi I've had no issues and have fast reliable internet. I pay for fiber 1000/1000 and see WiFi speeds near 300-400 for multiple devices. I am very satisfied with this router.

No dead zones, no drop outs!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: GeekDad82197
The internet connection in our home comes into the garage where we've always put the wifi router. This means that the bedrooms, which are on the far side of the house, always seemed to have weaker signals. And, in general, having to connect to the router through multiple walls degraded performance. Too many times we ended up watching buffer messages rather than our favorite shows. The Orbi has changed that. We get full bars in every corner of the house, connections are solid, and the bandwidth is available to all. Pricey, but worth it!

A Dream Come True
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Luciafer34874
I tried new routers, extenders and then fell on this. I worked in IT and it's definitely not an area where I struggle but I also don't want to feel like I'm at work on an installation! This was easier than easy! My kids could have installed the Orbi and the satellite. Then, to have it work beyond your expectations? A dream. I no longer have to pay for my ISP's so called faster network as this works better! It even has parental controls built in that you can adjust from an app among other features. A solid, reliable product.

Orbi Solved a WiFi problem
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Orbi30173
We switched to use FIOS in our area when it was recently installed. The router installed with FIOS was supposed to have much greater range for WiFi. However, and after getting one replacement, the WiFi range was much worse than our old DSL router's WiFi. The solution was Orbi with a single satellite. The problem was solved, we have outstanding speed at all areas of the house and can hit every area in the house with WiFi. Very pleased with the solution with Orbi. Installation was easy, and the only problem was Windows 10 related.

Great for 2 Story Home
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Craig94444
This product has increaed wifi speeds dramatically through the house. We are currently have 500 mb internet coming into our house. With the internet company modem/router it quickly diminished below 100 when in another room. This unit alone seems to send wifi better and the satellite just adds to it. Lowering of speed is noticed through walls/obstructions but this is expected. I am still working on maximizing the location fo the base and satellite with the locations wer are primarily using devices to get the full benefit of this product.

Solved my problems!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jesse39994
The RBK50 blankets the entire interior of my house in high-speed WiFi, unlike traditional routers mixed with AP's. It's seamless, simple, and been very stable for me.
My only real wish is for a slightly more modern web interface, but it's easy enough to get in and do any advanced administration I needed (static IP assignment, port forwarding, etc). I would like to see more advanced config capability in the Android app, but that isn't a necessity or something that will detract from the elegance of this solution for the average user.

Pain free whole house coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Steven4215
I'm an ex (retired) IT guy and the set up on the orbi has to be it's strong point. You can use the app but just using a tablet computer (any computer/tablet with wifi) was a no brainer. If I had "any" criticism, it would be that I'd like to be able to select the radio (2.4 or 5 mhz) rather than having the system select for me. But, the system appears to choose fairly well on it's own with my dual radio systems opting for the better 5 mhz band. The bottom line for most folks still has to be ease of use and this is as easy as it gets.
