awesome system
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Wayne85445
had a quantum gateway, my provider said it was the best router it had available. didn't reach half my house. glad they now list orbi, it provides coverage to whole house, and even remotest corner has the full speed 150/150 that I have from my internet service (with only one satellite) router is twice the price, but we couldn't stream movies downstairs before. app, security, parental controls all easy to use and well presented. units have a pleasant appearance as well. other good features too like offering a solution to a network printer, for use with multiple laptops. great system, whole family is happy now and not griping about the tv buffering...loving it

Superb

After years of struggling with inadequate wi-fi coverage in our home I decided we have had enough. I went to local electronics store and asked the pros and this setup was highly recommended. It was quick to set up and now we have astounding internet throughout our two story home, and outdoors as well.
One thing I don't like about this setup is that they have to 'sit' on something; they can't just plug into an outlet like an air freshener like some of the competitors' offerings.
If you have a place to put these, they will perform great. These really make a significant, positive, difference in the way we enjoy being online with our mobile devices.

Solved Our Problem
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Matt43800
Was using the internet providers router and an extender to reach 3,000 sq. ft. home with 30ish devices connected. Had to switch between four different possible networks and try to solve the dead area problem. Was getting half the download rates in the back half of the house.
The Orbi solved the problem. Connected the router to the service providers modem and set the Satellite in the middle of the house. We now have zero dead spots and I am consistantly getting the full download rates from our internet provider. Even extending out to all area surrounding the outside of our house with no drop off in speed.
Well worth the money and super easy to setup!

Mesh hero
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Anzu94597
So we decided that our home needed better wifi coverage due to a large number of devices so off to costco we go. We choose the GoogleFI kit which was a good value and after all is said and done it went right back due to the limited changes that could be done to it. So then we got the Ombi RBK50 which came with 2 satalites and the base which the coverage is far better then I could have ever expected. And with the nighthawk's software which is what I really wanted but needed a mesh system was so happy to find out that Ombi had it. TLDR: don't let the price scare you from this buy because it most deffently is a top 2 mesh product and number one is far more money.

Have clear strong signal throughout the house now.

I went from an "Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station" to the Orbi AC3000 (refurbished). With the single airport I had low signal strength on my ground floor to my Airport in the 3rd-floor bonus room (3100 sqft house). A few drop outs and Youtube on a Roku TV and fairly low resolution (as measured by the stats tool). With the Orbi I put Orbi base unit in the attic (just like the airport was). I put the satellite on the 1st floor next to my TCL Roku TV and plugged the satellite into the TV via ethernet cable. I was able to get 4K video 80% of the time and the rest of the time a notch below 4K. Very good. I'm completely satisfied with the Orbi's performance!

Outstanding Speed and Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: David72910
The Netgear Orbi RBK50, which I recently purchased, installed very easily. The on line instructions were complete and easy to follow. Our old router bogged down completely when we began automating our home. We could not even stream high def video any more. All of that is a thing of the past now. With the Orbi base station and single satellite we have installed, our 4000sf home is now completely covered including our garage and back yard decks. In addition, the Orbi app shows all hard wired and wifi devices which are connected. What a pleasure to use compared to the router included with our cable modem and all the other routers I have tried over the years.

Household WiFi Connectivity
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dylan73311
I moved from an apartment into a 2,300 square foot home with two stories and a twisting layout with nooks and crannies.The 2 in 1 router/modem we'd used at the apartment just didn't have the capacity to provide my new house with the WiFi coverage I needed.
After researching the Orbi and learning about mesh technology I made the decision to invest in the Orbi system. Once out of the box, my entire home was shrouded in full WiFi coverage in about 20 minutes. The setup was easy, and I have full bars in every room. I even noticed during day one as I came home from work my phone connected to the WiFi before I even get to my front driveway. I was very satisfied.

Unbelievably easy, reliable!

We needed a new router and saw the Orbi in a few other homes. Afraid of the price, we realized it truly would be worth the money as it allows amazing digital growth in our home and it would provide ample coverage in all areas of our home. Connecting it was super easy, quick, and within 10 minutes our entire house of 2 Alexa's, 1 laptop, , wir less printer, 4 smart phones, 4 iPads, 2 TiVo, and 2 wemo plugs, was up and running! Our laptop and devices previously held one to two out of 5 service bars, immediately they went to five full bars and have held strong throughout the entire time! I'm so glad we decided to splurge on this as it has enhanced our digital lives!
