Go with Orbi!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Christiaan8904
After reading several head to head reviews of mesh systems I picked the the Orbi RK50 set for my new home. Set up was very intuitive and only to 10 minutes with the Orbi app on my phone. I was skeptical that the two units had enough power to cover my 5000 sq foot house, but I've been very pleased. I set it up and haven't touched it since! No rebooting the modem or router. No switching between frequencies. No WiFi extenders. AND my download speeds are significantly improved. Couldn't be happier! The system is customizable to my family and I like the file sharing and parental control options. Orbi 100% worth the small price increase over your standard routers and I think it's the best mesh product in the market.

Far Faster than Expected
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Thomas84340
I'm subscribed to the Gigablast plan with Cox Cable: 1GB/35Mbs. I recently moved my Asus AC68U to another part of my house which created a considerable dead spot downstairs. Namely, it affected my wife's ability to browse the internet and my smart TV to hiccup when streaming Netflix. My house is about 2100 sq ft with about 27 devices connected wirelessly. I wasn't sure what to expect with hooking up the Orbi RBR50. But I was genuinely surprised by the difference it made across my household. For example, it cured my unstable connection to my Nest outdoor camera. And the time to connect to my Ring doorbell now is a few seconds at most versus 10-15 seconds before. I simply cannot find a dead spot anywhere in my home anymore.

NetGear ORBI solved my WiFi Problems
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jim13013
I had been buying the cheaper WiFi routers in hopes of extending my coverage and increasing bandwidth in my home. Turns out that I was adding to my problems by creating competing networks. Coverage was spotty at best and frequently dropped no matter where I was in my house. I investigated and purchased the ORBI system and all my WiFi problems have been solved. I've even disabled the WiFi that came with my cable service. This is a mesh network system that now reaches throughout my home and into my yard. No matter where I go with my device, I have full coverage at full speed. I am no longer frustrated with slow speeds, dropped connections, and poor gaming experience. Thank you, ORBI, the investment was well worth it.

Works as advertized

Bought the RBK50 to replace my standard AT&T router for my ~3,000 sq ft, two story home. Tried 3 different AT&T standard modem/routers - but none of them were able to provide full coverage of my home (either dropped connections or experienced very slow speeds further away from the router). Chose the Orbi RBK50 after reading many different on-line reviews of wireless mesh products. Setup of the Orbi was very straightforward via the iphone app. Have been using it for over a week now. Very noticeable improvement over the AT&T supplied router. No longer experiencing dropped connections or slow speeds at the furthest distance from my main router. I would definitely recommend this product based on my experience so far.

NETGEAR Orbi High-Performance AC3000
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Robert51113
The Orbi AC3000 met all my expectations and then some.
I bought the 2 pack and it worked out better than i thought it would. My intention was to buy the 2 pack and see how many more I would need to purchase to cover my whole house and yard. I have the best modem Verizon has to offer. The modem is in my basement and i could not get great reception across the room, never mind on the next floor. I put the main Orbi next to my Verizon modem and plugged it directly into the modem. We put the satellite Orbi on the second floor of our cape cod style house and now we have great coverage everywhere in the house and yard without any lag or disconnects. This was our best electronics purchase is years! We are very happy with it!

Been waiting for something that works
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: rsg196321386
Been waiting for something that works and spent about 6 weeks researching different brands and types. I live in a 1967 single story 1400 sq feet home. Did I need 5000 sq feet of coverage? Yes. Remember that 5000 sq feet is open and ideal conditions. I wanted coverage for every corner of my home as well as all around my property. I have wireless security cameras and some are outside so I wanted a saturated environment. The Orbi RK50 was the final choice. Setup was easy, coverage was as expected. The software can be controlled by either phone or PC and it is super easy to work with. Firmware updates were hassle-free. Not all mesh networks are alike so be cautious when choosing your equipment. I do highly recommend this product.

Awesome coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dave96822
I have been using the Orbi for about a week now and so far its been awesome. Just doing a test I streamed video on three different TV's in the house. So that was two TV's upstairs and one TV downstairs. I was on my work computer and my wife was on the iPad shopping. Didn't see any real dip in download speed. The square footage in my house is approx. 2,400 sq. ft. I purchased the router and one satellite and it covers the house fine. It also completely eliminate the one huge dead spot in my kitchen which was annoying at times when I was working at the kitchen table. Overall I am glad I made this purchase. This system is more expensive than other systems but is absolutely worth the money if you have a multi level home.

Superior WiFi coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Michael89244
Upgraded from an Apple AirPort Extreme, 2011 model. The difference in coverage with the new Orbi is pretty significant. Our smart devices are not losing connection like they did previously. Even the WiFi speed is so much faster anywhere we are in our home. We even have great coverage in our backyard now. The old WiFi router just couldn't give us the coverage in our townhome style home. Some areas had great coverage, but other areas very little until we upgraded to the Orbi system. A great advance in technology. Highly recommend the Orbi RBR50 especially if you have a multi story home where a traditional WiFi router is not able to give you the coverage and speed needed for your devices to work properly and efficiently.
