Great product

I am the CTO in my company. Was asked by a colleague about mesh networks for the home. I did a little research and not only did I recommend the ORBI, I bought one for myself as well. The coverage is fantastic. I am getting 80% of my wireless bandwidth across the entire house. Setup is easy, and one of the great benefits is the converged networks. ORBI displays one network, and picks 2.4G or 5G depending on which it thinks is better. This is fantastic for printers and components. You no longer have to see if you and the peripheral are on the same network, they all just seamlessly work together. That alone is worth twice the price.

Best Router Available
on May 29, 2019

The setup for the Orbi is quick and painless, which is great since I'm
not the most tech savvy. It improved my download and upload speed significantly, and the mesh network created by the satellites have made areas of my house and yard where I normally didn't get the best Wi-Fi (if any) are now just as fast as the other parts of my house. The features are also fantastic, especially remote management and traffic reports as the former allows me to cut access off to anyone spending too much time on the internet and the latter is just for fun to see how much we use the internet! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new router.

Super fast and easy set up!

We had internet and I had called another company to get faster service we could not stream a movie. I could not look at live feed through my camera and my phone when using Wi-Fi was so extreamly slow and spotty! When the Orbi was delivered I hooked it up and tied in the existing internet to it. I could not belive how fast it made everything streaming movies watching live feed on my camera it all worked with the existing internet we have had all along. So glad I went this route and with the two satilites my entire house garage and patios are covered even out to the fire pit including all 6000 pulse sqft. It's seemes to be a great product.

Solved all my WIFI problems
on May 29, 2019

I live in a true log cabin with 10" thick logs. I have tried multiple different high dollar routers and range extenders with little luck. I was sceptical to purchase this system do to my lack of success with other products. Let me tell you 1st hand that this is the best system on the market. Easy setup, no more logging between signals, and the best part is my entire house has WIFI! The 5000sq feet is an understatement. This system covers my entire log cabin, and even puts out a perfect signal to my entire 2000sq foot shop that is 50' away. This system exceeded my expectations by far, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you Orbi!

Excellent system!

Picked up the Orbi after extensive research. I like the idea of having a sattelite as my house is spread out and the internet comes in at the back corner. I also really like the fact that the base station talks to the satellite over a separate communication channel. Anyway, setup was about as easy as it gets and the satellite found the base station. I was up and running in a matter of minutes. They've also updated the router's web interface which is slightly better than before. The only con is the Disney software that was bundled for parental controls. It keeps breaking the interface but the router itself is awesome. Highly recommended.

Wasn't sure what to expect
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Keith78600
Given prices and hype wasn't sure what to expect with a mesh WiFi system. Reviewed the systems and went with Orbi RBK53 for my House.
On arrival, packaging was superb, instructions were easy to follow and system worked right out of the box. I was up and running quickly. The design of the satellites blends into the house. The system updated the firmware and the app is easy to use with looks of info if you want it.
I couldn't connect an nonsmart 2.4 ghz device, chatted with support and they showed where to turn down the 5 ghz transmit power. That did the trick.
More than expected at a reasonable price. Got rid of 3 old routers.

Works better than expected
on May 29, 2019

After many years of my husband complaining that there's no Wi-Fi signal at the other end of our house, I bought one of these for him for Christmas. Instructions for set up were sparse but there was a QR code to install the app. Once I'd done that it was fairly easy to set it up. We now have great coverage through the whole house. The ability to make a guest account and select a length of time has been very helpful already. The auto selection for the 2.4 or 5Ghz channel is also wonderful. I didn't realize how out of date my old router was until I purchased this. Husband is very happy with his new Wi-Fi range in and around the outside of the house.

The best choice for most people.

Thanks to a dedicated high-bandwidth Wi-Fi connection between the router and the satellite, the Orbi RBK50 kit had among the best throughput and range of the kits we tested. The simple 'put the router where the Internet is, put the satellite in the middle of your house' instructions are impossible to screw up, but for the tech-savvy, it is among the very few mesh kits that provides high-end router features, plus it lets you control your local network without an active Internet connection. The two-unit setup means that your laptops or phones spend less time shifting from one access point to another'”or, worse, not reconnecting when they should.
