Orbi has changed the way we use our entire yard
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Herb12104
I'm not usually the "gushing review" type but I can't say enough about the Orbi mesh network. I've got our base at one corner of our home where our cable modem lives and I set the satellite up in the opposite corner of the house where we formally had very little signal.
I then ran a speed test from the farthest corner of our lot (opposite corner from the base unit) and came back with speeds that rivaled tests I ran standing next to the base unit! My family can now sit outside and enjoy music, video etc and I don't have to maneuver in order to control lighting, music etc. Just give Netgear your money and stop looking for better mesh systems. :)

Awesome so far
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Larry51814
The set up was very easy except for a couple things. There was nothing in the instructions about how to hook up and reconfigure devices that were connected by ethernet cable to the router. Also it would've been nice for them to remind me that all those other peripheral devices such as printers we're going to have to be re-initialized and logged into the new network. Other than that the set up was a breeze
I've also been absolutely stunned by the speed. I was never able to get this kind of speed out of my wireless connection anywhere unless it was plugged into an ethernet cable. I get great coverage throughout the house and even outside.

Orbi was easy / Fast!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Thomas17983
Orbi was incredibly easy to install and improved my wifi coverage and speed by 3x (literally). I was previously using a Cisco router w/ a repeater in another part of the house. My wifi speed (on Ethernet) was around 75mbps download, 6mbps upload. On Wifi that dropped to 20-23mbps at best on download, and around 2mbps on upload (and it went down the further I got away from it). With the Orbi, my wifi speed is as good as my ethernet speed wherever I go in the house, and since I'm on wifi most of the time it feels like my speed has tripled on all my devices. I would recommend this to anyone. Installation was really easy ,basically installs itself.

Works as advertised

I was having connectivity issues with my ISP, along with a few dead spots.. So,I began looking for something that could help me with that, and came across the Orbi.. We do a lot of streaming in my home, from tv, to video gaming and there's 5 of of us!! We used to get constant buffering while trying to watch tv, along with wireless devices not connecting properly¡¡... So, with that I went with the RBK50, I haven't had any issues at all, my devices are working great!!! I, must say it's only been about a week though since purchasing, but I couldn't be happier.. Furthermore, the phone app could use a little tweaking, but overall I love it..

Finally, whole-house internet!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Susan30350
We are only a few days in, but I'm thrilled with my new Orbi system. We have an awkward setup, with the router for our home in an addition, on the other side of a brick wall from the rest of the house. Even with a quality booster, internet service in the other half of the house has always been poor. Now, with our new Orbi system, we are getting the speed we pay for in the whole house, with real results (e.g. my kids can now play Overwatch and Minecraft on the family room PC, connected to the big screen...before the lag was too great). My daughters iPhone no longer randomly switches from wifi to data in her bedroom. We are seeing a huge difference!

Works Great-Very Happy
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Airman195889571
Set up was super easy and super-fast. Speeds throughout my 2 story 2,600 sq. house are much improved and extremely fast and very stable. I have the 300Mbps plan through the cable company and the base unit is in my upstairs bedroom connected to the cable modem. I average 180- 215mbps download speeds and upload over 20mbps with wireless devise around the house and outside. I put the second unit downstairs where I hooked my Nivida Shield up with an Ethernet cable and I get 264Mbps download speeds and uploads over 22Mbps, so streaming is flawless. Orbi is fast, easy to use with lots of Ethernet connections on both units, I wish I had purchased is sooner.

Finally an Amazing Solution!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: SamS40343
I live in a large ranch home with a finished basement. Additionally the home was added on to, included the basement. My office is in the basement addition which is surrounded by four walls of nine inch concrete.
I could never get a good wifi network in my home. I failed the cable company failed and the telephone company failed. Finally, I just switched internet providers. When they failed to provide a decent solution I bought the Orbi AC3000.
Using the app it practically unboxed itself and set up in my home. It took me minutes and now I have full coverage everywhere on both levels! Great product, easy to set up and headache free. Thank you.

Reliable and Fast Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Daniel44416
The Netgear Orbi RBK50 is the solution to WiFi coverage issues throughout your home'”and it offers lightning fast, Ethernet-like speeds.
The Orbi provides my family with reliable and vast coverage that extends downstairs, upstairs, in the backyard, and in the front yard too.
With the Orbi, you can say goodbye to installing expensive WiFi extenders that require separate log-ins depending on your location in your home. The Orbi gives you quick and reliable WiFi with one log-in and password.
The set up is easy and the WiFi is fast and dependable. With the Orbi, you will not need or even want another router for years to come.
I highly recommend.
