Orbi RBK50 Works Very Well For Me
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: GailD18632
I upgraded from Sagemcom wifi router rented from my ISP. This router was essentially useless. The Orbi RBK50 gives me a strong fast signal throughout my home. My split level home is aprox. 4400 sq. ft underbeam. My ISP provided speed is about 215 Mbps. My Orbi is providing a strong wifi signal that ranges from 87 - 99 Mbps on the second level and 111 -115 Mbps on the first level. Speed starts dropping off about 30 ft. from satellite.
I am very happy with my Orbi RBK50 as I now have strong wifi throughout my home and my wifi devices actually work.

Great Device
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Marshland14876
I replaced a 4 year old router that was taxed - too many devices connected, large coverage area etc. - with the Orbi. WOW!! It only took 5 minutes tops to set-up and coverage is fantastic! No more buffering and slow connections. Our neighbor just spent a bunch of time placing extenders, etc. in his attic for better coverage. Not here . . . just placed the satellite upstairs with the primary router in our basement and Viola! Again - 5 minutes and no attic experience. Love this device! Coverage area is approx 3500 sq ft and 20+ devices connected.

Tops for Non-Techies
on May 29, 2019

Love this mesh system! Needed a new router after 5 years. Am tech literate but have no time for complex installations. Installation of the main unit and satellite was quick and easy, and the wifi coverage of my house is superb. Very simple to customize as well. I have three wired ethernet devices attached, plus 5 wireless devices in 3000 foot ranch house. My streaming video services are zippy, and updating the
apps on my iDevices take no time ar all. Anyone from age
9-90 can easily install and enjoy this brilliant router system. I am a true believer.

Daisy Chain for the win!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jan7187
I love my orbi rbk50, I have recommended them to most of my family members that want better wifi coverage. My home is 3500 sq. Ft, and yes this 3 pack is recommended for a bigger home, but more wifi the better! It supports daisy chain meaning your satellites don't need to be close to your main router like before. Your satellites can talk to each other meaning u can keep on linking your whole neighborhood if you want! Ethernet ports are the best offered on the router or satellite for you un wifi devices. I would not buy another mesh wifi system! Cheers!

As advertised working great
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: StillHereInKy70498
The AC3000 has to upgrade itself when installed, that was the scariest part. Based on experience with the AC2200, not all satellites make it through that experience, but in my case, and with two installations of the AC3000, the systems came through like a champ. Incredibly faster Wi-Fi speeds vs the old Apple Airports, hate to admit it because Apple has served me well. But the reviews on wire cutter were correct and the system installed relatively painlessly (there are always hiccups, won't go into them here) and I'm a happy owner. You will be also.

Tremendous Improvement
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: PaulM29601
I've been using this two node orbit mesh Wi-Fi system for several weeks. It took a little longer to set up than I expected, but not because it was difficult, it just took longer I thought it would. The improvement in range has been better than I expected, and was the main reason for my purchase. What I didn't expect was the drastic improvement in speed, especially for the smart blu-ray device which is now connected via wire to the satellite node. My video streaming is now 8 times faster. I'm very pleased and only wish I would have made the switch sooner.

Works like a champ!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Clay62226
I live in a historic home with thick walls covered in plaster. I had to install multiple routers throughout my home and would continually have to reconnect as I went from room to room. The Orbi has fixed my problem, not only is the signal strong, I get faster internet while I seamlessly move from room to room. No more switching internets throughout the house... I even purchased a wireless in ground sprinkler controller installed in my basement and it picks up Orbi with no problem. Worth every penny, the mesh network is the way to go, highly recommended.

Better than the rest
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Brad678
I have owned just about every major brand of router throughout the years... the Netgear Orbi is the absolute best hands down. My wife and I's home has around 40 network connected devices at any given time and the 'other' guys routers would struggle to keep up. We decided on an upgrade so after days of research, we landed on the Orbi RBK50. I wish I had bought it sooner! It's been the most pleasant experience I've ever encountered with a router on our decently large home network. I have and will continue to recommend the Netgear Orbi to anyone.
