Game changing router!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jim8293
This is the first router I have ever used that there is honestly no difference in speed whether I plug my computer directly into my modem via ethernet or use the wireless! And with the satellite that same speed is everywhere in the house on all devices. I can even sit out on the street in my vehicle and still get faster speeds than my cell carrier 4G connection.
Also, when they say "plug and play" easy to set up, they aren't kidding! From unboxing to ready to use was less than 10 minutes. I could do it in three now that I have done it once.

Greatest router I have seen
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: J59205
The price was daunting, but I got to say it is worth the money. Everything on my network is faster. By a lot.
This is a "true mesh" setup so your device just grabs the best signal from the closest router (either the main one or any of the satellites scattered through the home). "true mesh" means all nodes are treated as one ssid (one router and a single password). And the whole system is as fast as can be. I went from 30Mbs to 91Mbs on speedtest.net even in the previously dead areas of my home!
I can't come up with any complaints.

Review of Orbi AC3000
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: R4995
The Orbi system was, by far, the easiest system to setup and configure. I purchased the 2 unit AC3000 WiFi system and you can easily move the satellite around your home or office to get the optimal WiFi coverage you need. You can also easily add an additional satellite for larger homes or offices. Configuration of the system is all done through the App which is very easy to use and navigate even if you are not technically inclined. Over the years I have purchased or upgraded several Netgear Routers and the Orbi is their best system to date.

Great investment
on May 29, 2019

Reading all the reviews and seeing the different online videos, this was the router to have to get the best coverage. But I didn't know what to expect till I hooked up the Orbi router. First setup was an very easy and the directions were excellent. Using the app or weblogin (via PC browser) was easy and gives an beginner or power user many options. I have had the router running for 1 week and I am very happy with the results. Even my wife was very pleased with the wifi connection and not losing it. Great work Netgear on a wonderful product.

Love It
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Polodad84959
We installed our Orbi and instantly were wowed. We suffered like most from differing download speeds throughout our house. Not anymore, we are now enjoying top speeds everywhere in our house. We have about 2500 sqf house and the speed is the same wherever I run a speed check.
Setup was a little difficult but after update it ran smoothly. Use the app and you will be up in no time. We run 4 smartphones 3 streaming TVs and 2 computers with no degradation.
Yes we spent more but oh the joy when not hearing why is the internet so slow.

Amazing

I had a high performance dual band router and two extenders in a 3500 square foot two level home running 200 meg download speed from my provider and had nothing but complaints. With this new Orbi RBK50 system...all my troubles went away.
I consistently show 178-180 meg download speed at all times now and that's from my cell phone.
We have over 15 devices running over this unit and it's been awesome.
No more switching WiFi connections from router to extender 1 or extender 2 while roaming the house.
One connection no matter where I go!

Netgear RBK50 Review
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Rob21523
I decided to upgrade my Verizon gateway router to this AWESOME system and I'm so glad I did. I used to have 1 bar of signal strength on the opposite side of my house. All of my devices used to have issues connecting near the opposite end. I setup the Satellite 1 room away from the blackout spot and now I have full signal strength. No need to connect to a different router, no cables, nothing. So easy to install and you manage everything out of the easy to use app. I'd recommend this to everyone having trouble with extended signal problems.

Excellent wifi solution
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mike4659
We have about a 3000 square foot home. the Orbi system did the trick for us. Our cable comes in on the far end of our house, and we've had to use a standard wireless router with an extender. No more. Full power, great speed, on all under one router name to sign in on. To the people having doubts about getting older devices on Orbi, we have a Wink 1 hub, and some older tablets. All of them picked up and connected to the router, even though the Wink hub is 2.4 only. I would highly recommend buying this system as a solution to your wi-fi woe's.
