Very Well Pleased
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Fred91195
We bought this system to replace an Apple AirPort Extreme who has served well, but was no longer doing the job consistently. So I started researching the Orbi mesh system because there were times parts of our house weren't being covered and consistent. I looked at the Linksys Velop, Google, and Orbi. I finally decided on Orbi because of ease of set up and the fast speeds. I couldn't believe the difference! It was easy to set up and the speed is great. I also have full coverage throughout my house. We have an older longer ranch house with a lot of rooms and walls, but so far no issues. I highly recommend this unit!

Wasn't expecting this!

So I bought this thinking it was going to be the same as my apple network with speed and coverage but boy was I wrong. I was having trouble with speed where I have my Apple TV connected and couldn't watch my digital movies from the cloud. I have gigabit service and was getting speeds less than 10mbps. I would have to restart the router occasionally which really hampered the movie experience. I bought this system and the setup was extremely easy; it took maybe 15 minutes and was very intuitive. The speed is ridiculously fast as well. Where I once had less than 10mbps I now have an average of 150mbps and I am very happy.

Fantastic home network solution
on May 29, 2019

I had an excellent AC router but still got poor Wifi in one part of my house. I was using a repeater, then a Wifi access point using a power line adapter. No matter what I tried, I could get 40 or 50% of my speed compared to the Wifi speed next to my router.
I bought the Orbi with one satellite. Amazing speed through out my house, no dead spots, and no connecting to a different Wifi access point. We can now video steam without worrying about location in house and never gave to worry about our devices switching SSIDs. Family is happy with no more Wifi issues or needing to reboot a router. Highly recommend, you won't regret.

Fixed my problems
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Topher55707
I had a ok consumer grade non-mesh router placed in the basement of a three floor house (that's where the modem was). It didn't have the range I wanted, and tried using a power link solution. It would constantly drop connections (router and powerlink), range was spotty, bandwidth was spotty. My Orbi fixed all of that. It's been in use for about a week, and no problems since that time. The range is great, with the satelite, we get full bandwidth on all three floor, and improved speed in our garage. It was pricey, but worth it for not having to have to think about my internet issues anymore. I bought peace of mind with my Orbi.

Orbi RBK50
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: ThunderHawk30080
Had been using a Frontier FIOS router for cable TV and WiFi, and was experiencing iPhone XS Max going between LTE and WiFi as I got further away from the router. With the RBR50 in the family room and the Satellite in another room about 30' away, the iPhone gets a solid WiFi signal throughout the house and never goes into LTE mode. I also like the Orbi app. It allows me to see all the devices connected to the RBR50 and Satellite. Additional info: the RBR50 is connected to the Frontier router (router required to watch TV), via an ethernet cable and the RBR50 is in AP mode. The Frontier router's Wireless (WiFi) setting is set to OFF.

Easy Install, Great Performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: SMONK88042
Being ready to replace my dated Apple Wi-Fi system, I read as much as I could on various alternatives. For some reason, my house has always been difficult to cover without at least two access points in addition to the base unit. I took the plunge and purchased what I considered the best bundle for both performamce and cost. I have 110% pleased. Installation was easy - essentially like riding a good horse - just give it it's lead and with a little guidance, allow it to do it's thing. Performance has been outstanding. Speed and stability have been rock-solid. I rarely brag on equipment or recommend it to friends, but I have with Orbi.

Excellent

I generally don't write reviews but this needs special attention .I'm looking for a specific router that covers my whole home and it did exactly what it supposed to be . Installation was very smooth and all you need to do is just open their app and it will do everything . It is The easiest installation I have done . I have set the main router in the basement and the satellite on the second floor and my whole home is covered including middle floor and all My smart gadzets working smoothly without any issue. I would definitely recommend this for anybody looking for good coverage moderate to large home without any dead spots.

So far, so good ...

After Apple announced that they were discontinuing their Airport devices, I felt released to leave the ecosphere Of Apple WiFi products, where I had lived ever since they were released. Deep down, I guess I always knew that there were better options, but I admit I was an Apple snob, choosing brand name allegiance over features. Anyway, it finally came time to switch, and Orbi has been a huge upgrade! Speeds have more than doubled on my WiFi network and the parental controls features are amazing (with Disney Circle membership). I've only owned my base + 1 satellite system for less than a month, but I can say that I'm happy so far!
