Totally worth the money
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Sumit67896
I have a gigabit connection but used to get ~100mbps with my previous router in the farthest room (which happens to be my home-office). I swapped the old router with the Orbi (literally took me 10 minutes to set everything up), and now I get great download/upload speeds - it doesn't make any difference whether I'm sitting right next to the main router or in my office!
Also, some of my home-automation devices are 2.4ghz only, and the Orbi was smart enough to automatically support them without me manually turning off the 5ghz channel (which I've had to do with other routers).

Stellar WiFi improvement
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Ernie41504
After limping along with my home wifi network using some old uncoordinated access points in the only areas that my wiring could be placed, I decided to make a change. Orbi's setup with the app or URL is dead easy and I was able to get set up very quickly even with all the DHCP reservations and NAT entries that I was moving over from my old network. Adding a satellite unit to a funny corner of the home was so simple. I now have fast, consistent coverage all over my house. I have remote access into my network with the built-in VPN support. What a dramatic improvement, and a great deal!

Top to bottom

We bought the Orbi router to give us better wireless coverage in our 4 level home. The standard Linksys router we had was leaving dead zones in areas of the house. We put the Orbi base unit in the basement and the satellite on the 3rd level. Wireless coverage is great everywhere now. Set up was super easy. I didn't have much interest in the Orbi app initially, but I downloaded it anyway just to see what it offered. It ended up being pretty cool and offers me lots of information about my network and who is on it. It also provides us a way to manage restriction on our kid's devices.

Nighthawk X6 to Orbi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Lupe93750
I originally had a Nighthawk X6 Triband router but had range issue and constant internet drops. I saw that the Orbi satellite has direct connection so I went with that so that my PS4 would have direct connection. This has totally changed my WiFi for the better and I have no drop off at all. I see a lot of reviews where they have drop off with Orbi. I do see that I have to go, on my phone, to WiFi settings and turn off WiFi and then turn it back on but that is a very minor and is nothing compared to what I was dealing with before. I am very happy with my decision to go with Orbi RBK50!

Super Fast, Easy to Setup, Reliable
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jason43176
This is my first Netgear WAP device purchase and I have to say I am overly ecstatic with the ease of setup, performance and reliability of the Orbi Mesh system. I have a 5400 sqft house and 2 devices have given me adequate coverage at 300+ mb/sec at the farthest point (15 meters) to take full advantage of my 1gb/sec broadband link. It took roughly 15 minutes to sync up the satellite, setup/update the devices and WiFi security settings. After roughly 2 weeks of use I have had no downtime or performance loss. Great Work Netgear and I will be recommending these devices to family/friends.

Great alternative to wired!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Alex25246
I recently moved from a house with wired CAT6 to every room. We love our new house, but a little part of me was dying inside with the lose of my beloved 1gb network. Fortunately I found Orbi and it has filled the void. With each access point (satellite or router) you can create a local wired network. After strategically placing my system I was able to provide wired connections to my printer, server and a desktop that doesn't have wifi. Speeds are good between access points, but the wire local nets are 1 gb which is where I do the heavy lifting anyway. I'm very glad I found this system!

Impressed!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Terrance65262
I have been researching routers for a while, and the Netgear Orbi is what we decided to purchase. Installation took me about 20 minutes to complete. This included the time it took to download and install updates. After installation of Orbi, I tested our network. Before our Orbi, we had a Dual-Band Linksys Router, and we got around 150-180 MBs/s on our wireless devices. With the Orbi, we were getting 230-240 MBs/s with all of our wireless devices! This is including the PS4 as well. Lastly, we have a strong WiFi signal in every room of our home. We are impressed with this Netgear please!

Impressive and Stable WiFi Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Shawn84359
I did a lot of research before deciding on the Orbi WiFi system. Review after review of the stellar performance of this system made it a no-brainer. I am so glad I did. I have only had it a week now but I have not this dependable steady coverage in my home since I have had Wifi. Speeds are double what I had with my older linksys system. Every inch of my 8,000 sq.ft. home gets consistent steady signal and have not had any hiccups. This reaches beyond the house into the yard and I can access WiFi from areas I normally never could. From initial use, this is a winner. Money very well spent!
