Easy to configure with amazing performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Matt66140
I was needing to replace our home aging home router, and was pleased to discover the Orbi Mesh WiFi option when visiting my brother at Christmas who had recently installed his own Orbi setup, and showed off all the great features.
Once we got home, my wife and I decided that this was the route we wanted to go since it offered better coverage and performance than other options we had looked into. Once the system arrived, it was very simple to set up, provides exceptional coverage and performance. Every day I discover another feature or option that continues to improve our experience.

Best WiFi system
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Tae28233
WiFi coverage has always been an issue living and working from a 3 story house. Tried many solutions including daisy chained Apple routers, wifi extenders and most recently TP-Link Deco. Deco (3 unit) was easy to set up and worked fairly well. But I got Orbi to try and see if it would improve upload speed. I got 3 Orbi package (1 router and 2 satellites: 1 for each floor) and they are super fast. Pretty easy to set up. I set them a week ago and I am very impressed with it. Tri-Band technology is not a gimmick. You can always add additional satellites if you need a wider coverage.

Works great!

This was an upgrade to our Nighthawk AC1900 which we had for about 4 years and worked with no issues. But recently I got couple of outdoor nest cameras installed on the opposite sides of the house and signal strength was not enough anymore. Orbi setup was pretty simple but I couldn't make one of further positioned satellite connect to the router at first. After firmware was updated everything worked right away! Very happy with signal strength. There's 16 devices on our network that includes 4 TVs streaming Netflix/YouTube TV and together 4 nest cameras and everything works flawlessly.

Great product

I tried a few different routers for our 2 story house, but none gave the outcome I was looking for. So my first attempt with a mesh networks was Velop by Linksys. Their product constantly had issues and also didn't provide enough eithernet ports for use. I finally settled on Orbi and it's truly been the best choice. It doesn't sacrifice speed to talk to the satellite device, all our house has consistent fast spees. it also has more than enough eithernet ports, and it covers our entire house even to our separated garage. I would recommend this Orbi mesh system to all my friends and family.

I own NETGEAR products for years and I love that the company always gets better and better products has the technology advance the orbi system gave me best results, very reliable when connecting and disconnecting the router or satellite to find the Best location they connect themselves right away the best part is the range just completed installation in a 9,000 square foot and everywhere the signal is great even at the road and the dock a few 100' away.
Remember the location of the router and Satellite is the key to a good installation.
So yes very very satisfied with this product.

BIG THUMBS UP!

For not being a technical geek, I found the setup was relatively simple. For my situation, performance was a huge jump from 38 to 71 mbps uniformly throughout my 2300 sf, 2 Story home. WiFi signal coverage was also uniform without any dead spots inside the house. The ORBI router and satellite package was a birthday/Fathers Day gift from my daughter and son-in-law to replace an apparently outdated 4 year old single device router. I'm so pleased with the ORBI and it's satellite unit. The free mobile app for my iPhone to manage the router, although not perfect, works pretty good too.

So far, so good
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: horsecore21440
Setup was a little goofy for me, for whatever reason, but once I worked out the kinks, my connection is reliable and very fast - it is a huge improvement over my old setup. I did an enormous amount of research before buying the Orbi system. We live in a 1900 sq ft ranch and the router is in the walkout basement with the satellite unit on the main level - signal is incredibly strong throughout the house and even outside. I will likely add another satellite to boost outdoor signal when I get further away from my house but it's more than adequate right now. I highly recommend the Orbi system!

Orbi works great with xfinity
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Frank65580
I did a lot of reading about potential problems with set up and was prepared for a real battle. I plugged in the orbi, connected to my xfinity router and the Orbi to my hardwired network switch. Everything worked, no hassel. Did not even have to put the xfinity router into bridge mode. My xFinity comes to an out building (my home office) about 60 feet from the main house. Over the years I've tried a number of range extender solutions and while they worked to some degree, the signal was always inconsistent. With the Orbi mesh network, I have full bars throughout my my 2400 sq ft house
