Finally a solution for my house!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Wing54626
I am very impressed with the Orbi. I have a 4000 square foot house and with the cable modem on one end of the house. I was unable to get a signal at all at the other end of the house with my Apple AirPort Extreme. Because I was also trying to use my Tivo and stream in several rooms, I tried Powerline adapters. However, my 40-year-old home's wiring got overwhelmed by the complexity of the setup. I bought the Orbi after doing lots of research about mesh networks, thinking that would be the answer. To my surprise, all the reviews I read gave high marks to Orbi, even though it is not a mesh network per se. With the Orbi, I am finally able to get a reliable WiFi signal throughout the house.

Not bad
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Petemax1313636
I gave it 5 stars because I bought the linksys E9500 and it's the biggest piece of garbage. I stopped buying linksys years ago more like over a decade ago because they were not reliable. It would drop signal like crazy and it had me arguing with my cable provider. I decided to give them a shot and worst decision ever. But I'm very happy with the Orbi. Trust me it is extremely plug and play as long as you follow the simple directions provided. I've seen some pretty bad reviews and I'm yet to duplicate them. But here's a surprise I'm actually an IT technician and trust me I've troubleshooted and tested a few brands and this one works. Great buy and the satellite concept is great.

Fantastic Speed! Fantastic Coverage!

With the slow and unreliable ATT Modem this is a welcomed addition to our home entertainment experience. With all our home devices being 'smart" you really need to have a fast mesh system so all the connected devices are not dragging your Wi-Fi system down. There is no latency from one satellite to another. I have fiber and the Wi-Fi speeds before would top out using the gateway at 75Mbps. Testing it during the highest usage times my speed does not drop under 750Mbps while my family are all on Netflix. Etc. To sum it up: I have not had one single dropped signal or slow speeds from my smart t.v apps. Love this product and would recommend to anyone annoyed with their providers junk Wi-Fi Box.

Super Wifi Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Barbara61970
Went from a Netgear N300 to the Orbi. Now I can get wifi outside in my barn which was my goal. I thought I might need an outside extender but the base router was just strong enough to get the signal to the satellite placed inside the barn (put it in the window). Speed is a bit faster than the old router too. Very easy to set up. The only glitchy moment was getting the modem data line to connect to the router. I did have to turn the modem off again while leaving the router on (contrary to the instructions). But that may have been a unique occurrence. I haven't "unpowered" the system to see if it comes back on line without specifically sequencing the components on. Super happy with my purchase.

Netgear Orbi AC3000
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Adrian34326
This Orbi Router is 'Awesome'. The router gives me over 200 mbps (0n 200mbps broadband service). The signal is strong through out our 2 story 3600 square foot house and even covers our backyard. This router was a solution for my situation in which I was getting good coverage through out the house and my Wi-Fi was slow. At first I didn't like that I couldn't select which router my devices could connect to or choose 2.4g or 5g for specified devices. The system does this automatically and to be frank, it has not been an issue. The system is able to connect the closest devices to each router and select the fastest service possible. I am very happy with this unit and would buy it again.

Easy setup, strong signal
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Steve6549
Our Nighthawk 7900 router bit the dust after another poorly performing firmware update so we needed a new wifi solution. We had read about the mesh systems and the Orbi was highly rated. We have a 3500 SF house and there were holes in the coverage with a single router on an upper floor. The Orbi covers both floors, porches and patio very well. It was very easy to set up and after two weeks, there have been no issues at all. I like that the Orbi talks with each device to determine which channel to use. Our 5G products are really working well pulling the signal through two channels. I also like being able to sit out on the patio and get a strong signal rather than having to switch to a cellular plan.

Easy peasy lemon squeezey
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: San73284
I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of set-up. The instructions were minimal to no-existent. I watched a video on how to deactivate the Wi-Fi on my ATT box. That was the most difficult part - which wasn't difficult. I plugged in the boxes and they worked. The satellite units are larger than anticipated. They are ergonomic and attractive but I would have liked a mounting bracket to wall mount the unit. You can buy aftermarket brackets but they should have been included. Basically, you plug in the main box into the ATT box and then place the two satellites and voila it works. I have great Wi-Fi coverage where spotty service existed before. It's not just 5 bars but it actually works.

Simple. Safe. Protected. Fast.

I was hesitant in purchasing the Orbi AC3000 but after an extremely simple setup I noticed not just a WiFi signal improvement throughout my home, but I experienced the incredible ease of monitoring (and limiting internet access via Disney Circle - just amazing, by the way) each of the connected devices. The Orbi app makes it very simple to make changes to the Orbi router settings such as creating a guest network, updating network passwords, etc. I would most definitely recommend this to anyone seeking to improve their home WiFi (satellite wireless routers can be added with ease), better control device access to the internet (i.e., kid's devices) while monitoring websites visited. Simply terrific!
