Easy and fast

I received my new Orbi router and satelite, and it took me about 20 minutes to unpack and set everything up. I turned my cable wifi off, plugged the main unit into the ethernet on the cable modem, and fired up the Orbi, renaming wifi network and password to match the cable wifi. My satellite just worked, no setup required. All my devices connected without a hitch and I was getting over 300Mbps across my entire house (even where there had been dead spots before). It was not cheap, but well worth it to have a reliable high performance network across the entire property.

No more dead spots in the house!

We live in a 3,400 sq ft two-story house. Our previous router struggled to provide adequate coverage at the far corners of the house. Unfortunately, our family room was in an area with spotty coverage and that's where we streamed music and movies. After doing my research we decided to jump in and purchase the Orbi AC3000 system with 2 satellites. Yes, it was probably overkill for our property, but we can get great coverage inside AND outside of the home. Set up was quick and easy plus we like the ability to turn on and off WiFi access to individual devices. Take the plunge!

Very impressed with this WiFi system! Was previously using a single router that was experiencing dead zones, need for reboots every morning and performance kept degrading as we added more connected devices to our home. Setup was so simple with the app, I was online within minutes and saw a 30%+ increase in my speed, even my hardwired devices and full bars everywhere I go, even outside. The tech site reviews were correct and i'm convinced this is the best choice for larger homes at the moment. For reference we have 17+ devices connected at any given time in a 5500 SqFt home.

Simple to setup, yet very capable

It took less than 10 minutes to have toe Orbi and Satellite up and running. I may decide to add another Satellite due to the Plaster with Metal Mesh Walls in our home that have a partial Faraday Effect. If I were to add a feature in addition to the ability to block unused devices temporarily, it would be a way to determine how much data each device is using on it's own. I have two Fire sticks and a Chromecast Dongle and I would love to see how much data they use when "Idle". The Chromecast especially with it's continuous slide show running seems like it might be a data hog.

Excellent purchase.

I was a little skeptical ordering at first, but read the reviews and decided to try it. Saw a BIG difference not only in speed on my PC's, but also in the speed at which my ROKU TVs opened up and connected to my network. The ORBI was worth every penny I paid for it. Note, I was not sure if I should buy the 2300 with three units or the 3000 with two units. Reviews on the 3000 were great so I bought that model and I am very pleased. I have 2500 sq feet and the coverage throughout the entire house is excellent.Would recommend to anyone having speed issues on their WIFI network!

Best Upgrade
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Shane5371
I recently upgraded my router from a Netgear Nighthawk X6 AC300 Tri-Band and 2 extenders to the Orbi RBR50 and it has been a night and day difference. Every evening while surfing the web on our mobile devices we would have to turn off our wifi and use our mobile data to do anything. The Orbi solved that and we're getting the higher end of the broadband speeds we've been paying for no matter where we are in the house. I now have a single network and the Orbi app controls everything. I couldn't be happier and would recommend this to anyone with a 2500 sq ft home or larger.

Never buffers
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Tariq10898
I have been using routers from other companies and they always seemed to not work when I need them too or they would not work sufficiently. I started looking online and decided to try out the Orbi. I have a fairly big house on a plot of 2 acres. I am happy to say I have never had to deal with any buffers or network loss for the last 5 months. Even if there ever is a problem I can instantly go on the orbi app on my phone and it let's me know which router is not working. The guest making features are one of the many great features on the app which is why I love the Orbi RBR50.

Fast and impressive

I bought the Orbi AC3000 system to replace a network of access points that I manually configured to cover my whole house. I have gigabit fiber service to my house, but noticed the former APs were preventing me from achieving full speed. The Orbis are extremely easy to setup and provide excellent coverage. I used the satellite AP to provide fast wired connectivity to a remote office upstairs since the satellite communicates to the router via a dedicated backhaul channel. Much better throughput to that office now. Wireless coverage is flawless. I highly recommend this product!
