Top of the heap!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Stuart98311
I am 73 years of age and have played with the 'Internet of Things' for well over 20 years. As things have grown and improved I have updated my devices and home on a regular basis. I can say hands down that I have regularly used Netgear products. They are reasonably priced, readily available, and very reliable. The Orbi system has far and away been the best WIFI system that I have purchased. The sleek styling can be displayed in any room and the power of the units is unbelievable compared to comparatively priced units. I am a stickler on reliability. I never have to worry about operation or range of my Orbi. Thank you Netgear for such a wonderful home WIFI system. It is truly the 'top of the heap'!

Excellent Wireless whole-house Router!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: D.34807
When I discovered that my current wireless router was not sufficient to cover my whole house without "dead zones", I started looking at different options. Then my son bought an Orbi system for his house. I was amazed that the two units easily covered his entire house, with no loss of signal or speed. Based on that, I bought an Orbi system for my home. I was concerned, because my son's house is all on a single floor, while mine is 3 stories. However, the two Orbi units covered my house perfectly, with no dead spots. Setup was simple and fast, plus the ethernet connections on the back of both units also gives me the option of hard-wiring desktop computers or other non-wifi equipment. Overall, I'm VERY pleased!

OMG so easy to use!

I have been an avid (i.e. rabid) Mac user since I can remember. I have gone through the gamut of Airport devices, even up to the latest generation. However, the WiFi in my home was very spotty, even with an Apple Express "extending" my network. I happened to look for alternatives to Airport and came upon a review of the Orbi. I did lots of research and decided to give it a shot. What a difference!! With the two full sized units my kids can download at high speed in all corners of the house (it's about 3600 sq ft). It was a SNAP to set up, and it's larger than I expected but very attractive. All in all this was one of the best purchases I have made based on an online review. I highly recommend the Netgear Orbi!!

Great Product and Performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Maury13966
The RBK50 is performing as advertised. I did a lot of research and one thing to mention is to be careful when reading reviews over a year old. When initially released, the unit had issues which have subsequently been resolved through firmware updates. The phone app setup wizard was easy to navigate and from start to finish it took about 25 minutes to complete the setup and connect 5 devices. The throughout and coverage are excellent. Previously had a single Netgear gateway\router and was continuously having connectivity issues with newest Spectrum provided modems. Have not had a single connecticity issue since installing the Orbi system.
Thank you NetGear for providing a product which performs as advertised.

So right out the box it was plug and play it's set up already plug your modem in and wait for the lights to stop blinking and there you have it network set. Now if you are the type that likes the app and to personalize your network name and have a guest side to your network then you may have some small bumps to work through. But it's not a major meltdown type of problems. Also to help with making up your mind if you should spend the money for this router IT IS WELL WORTH IT!!! I have a nice amount of home automation in my house on top of spoiled kids that have computers, Phone, and fire sticks in there rooms and it has handled everything we have thrown at it with a very responsive Wi-Fi signal. Great job Netgear.

WOW
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Brad43822
I tried everything to get Wi-Fi through out my home. My (unnamed) router is at the back of the house and I couldn't get a good signal in any part of the house. My gaming system is in the front part of the house with many walls for a signal to get through. Much frustration. A friend told me about Orbi and thought what the heck I've already spent to much money trying to get a good signal. So I purchased it, set it up next to the modem and put the satellite next to my Xbox and the cool thing was I was able to hard connect to my Xbox from the back of the satellite. I tested the signal and its the same throughout the whole house. I even get a great signal in my front and back yard. I'm a happy camper. Thank you....

Great product, highly recommend

My setup of the Orbi AC3000 was very simple and clear, with very well laid out user experience. Using the QR codes to identify my Orbi, and download the mobile app really made things easy. Once up, the app provides a simple elegant view of my network, and allowed me to customize each of the names of the hotspots (eg: "living room") for easy reference later, and even devices connected to the network that initially had unrecognizable names from their manufacturers. Finally, using it around the house has been great, with the mesh extending out into the backyard, to the far bedrooms, and getting around our large brick fireplace that had caused a lot grief with our old single router. This is what home networking should be.

Excellent App, Solid Signal
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Super83876
Briefly, the app works; use it to set up the Orbi. Keep the little plastic ring that slips over the top so you can scan the QR code for the app. And, marvelously, Orbi allows you to connect satellites via ethernet, as well as WiFi, for solid Wifi everywhere even in the most difficult conditions. Also, very very good to know, Orbi plays well with my Netgear switch, so I can connect not just my Orbi satellites, but my printers, computers, and so forth. Signal is very fast and stable, reach is excellent -- signal outside the house (brick and concrete construction) is still strong enough that both the front and back yard get better than twice the throughput that cellular data offers, and much, much better latency. Excellent!
