Excellent Performance Improvement
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: WAldenIV32662
I have an 81-year-old home with plaster walls that isn't conducive to WiFi signal penetration. I used to have a poor and intermittent connection with my multiple routers in parts of my house, particularly the kitchen. I had devices that would not maintain a stable internet connection. The Orbi installation was easy and I saw an immediate improvement in connection strength and internet speeds throughout my house. My devices no longer drop connection in the kitchen. I also finally have the ability to use a single SSID for both 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Great coverage, excellent for parents!

Posted by: Victor97004
I bought this both because we live in a multi-stories home (4 floors on a hill) and because we have 2 kids. Setup was not without its woes - the manual was not accurate in terms of how long we should wait for the satellite to pair, also what the lights meant, but with a little patience it all worked out. Now we've got very high speed access throughout our home, and thanks to Circle by Disney (paid :( ) we have very fine grained control over bedtime, YouTube time, etc.
Overall I highly recommend this unit - Circle can be even used for free if you don't mind the more limited control options.

Simple and Powerful
on May 29, 2019

Before Orbi, I was growing more and more frustrated with all the wireless devices in my life and their ever-growing demand for bandwidth and secure connections to the internet. I was on the verge of hiring a network expert to create a unified system for my home and was prepared to spend whatever it took. With Orbi, everything I own is now connected and my guests can have their own wi-fi network, to boot. Orbi was literally easier to set-up than any of the devices connected through it. Now I have high-speed wi-fi everywhere in my house and garage with no dead spots. Thanks Netgear and Amazon.

Effective upgrade
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: 84261
I got the Orbi RBK50 to upgrade my home WiFi. I have my service entrance away from my work area and the built in switch/router made it possible to network some devices that had been only for personal use, like printer and NAS. The added range has expanded my network into the park across the street and down the block in both directions. I am concerned about the added radiation, but the convenience is great and setup was super easy - replaced the network I was using except that I had to reconnect my Nest network. I do Airbnb, so having full coverage for my guests and family was really important.

Easy Set up - powerful capability
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Larry72051
Got a great deal on a refurbished Orbi so took the plunge. Previously had a dual band AC3200 router that was being taxed by my switch from Dishnet to streaming TV services. I was experience connection and buffering problems. The Orbi has solved all those problems. Setup was extremely easy using the IOS app. I have a 4200 sq ft house with three floors - 4 wired devices and 15 wifi devices - and base/satellite mesh system gives me strong coverage everywhere in the house (even in the yard around the house) with no buffering or connection issues. Excellent product that I recommend highly!

Sheer Unparalleled Excellence
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Douglas72212
Simple yet very effective, I have a 5000 square foot building with shear walls that are 6 inch insulated 5/8 2 sided plywood sheathing with 2 sided 5/8 sheet rock on all interior and exterior walls. The metered signal is 95 % all areas including our office/shop that is 4000 sq.ft. not attached 250 away from the main building, still receiving 90 %
metered signal. I will purchase 1 additional satellite for the system and locate it in the shop to make all indoor and outdoor property areas full coverage, simply stated,everyone with larger WIFI requirements should purchase and install the Orbi.

Best investment
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jesus65613
I recently moved for work reasons and was in need of a new WiFi solution, in my new place I haven't office in the basement which is where I have my fiber modem located, with the Orbi system I'm able to have the router in the basement and the satelite unit in the second floor and have full coverage throughout the hose at over 500mbps over WiFi, it broadcast a 2.4 and 5 GHz channel, the app makes it simple to manage and view a full list of the devices connected to your network over WiFi or wired to the router. Would definitely recommend to a friend, family member or even you reading this.

Best Router I've Ever Owned
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Derrick63144
I recently purchased a 2,400 sq. ft. brick home and wanted to make sure that I had full coverage. I placed the router in the basement and the satellite in my daughters room about midway on the second floor. I pay for 250 mbps and recieve around 300 mbps no matter where I am in my house. Even if I'm outside and the signal is going through brick, I still get 80 mbps. I would highly recommend this router/satellite for ease of set up and performance. I have a Netgear C7000 modem/router combo. I disabled the wifi radio's and plugged in the Orbi without any issues. I love this Router/Satellite system.
