Great product!

I really do Love this new router, however it is not strong enough. I have only a 2400 sq. foot single story home and it is working everything but I sometimes have slow connection or interruption. This Orbi mini I bought states it is good for 4000sq. foot home... I bought this because I was having major issues with my alarm system and cameras. Everything is working now, but I do have them go offline sometimes still. I am going to return it and buy a bigger one for 5000-6000sq. foot home. Also, the bigger reason I want to exchange for the bigger is the mini only has 1 extra port on the back so I had to get a switch to plug in my alarm system. I need more ports and I don't want extra items on my desk or to plug in. I just want the router that is strong enough and has enough ports.

Upgraded to mesh WIFI network
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Doug49549
Getting our new home ready to move into and wasn't happy with the coverage of the WiFi with the WiFi router my isp provided with the installation. Had been wanting to try the Netgear Orbi Mesh Network and this gave me the opportunity to do so. Very easy to install and in only a few minutes maybe 10 I was up and running. I'm getting in excess of the 250 mbps up and down the isp is providing with the new fiber system and the Orbi system. I can't wait till year four of our contract with the isp when we go to 500 mbps. Orbi allows me to move my cable boxes around the house, pool area and garage to watch tv with the wireless tv the new isp is providing also. Thank you Netgear for having a system to allow me to have a highly functional WiFi in my new nearly 4000 sqft home. Doug Newman

We recently bought a house that is all brick and I could barely get wifi on the back deck even with Xfinity XB6. I have Gigspeed so I didn't want to sacrifice speed just because of poor wireless signal. I also use Arlo cameras out at the front gate about 100 ft away from the garage and didn't get signal out there. I placed the Orbi Router in my office, and a satellite in the attic above the garage. Now I get full bars of wifi on the back deck and 2 bars out at the gate, plenty for live-streaming the Arlo Pro 2 when I get an alert. Setup took a few reboots of the Comcast modem once I changed the mode for it to completely transition off using its wifi. Also, make sure you update all your Nest and other wifi products to your new network. Overall, 5 stars. Very good product and easy setup.

Orbi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Kevin50073
The NetGear Orbi has dramatically improved my home's wifi network. Previously, I would have to cycle my old router off and on because devices would get kicked off of it due to the amount of devices that were connected. My old router just couldn't handle it. I also had a hard time connecting some devices on the opposite end of my house. The WiFi signal is now vastly improved thanks to the Orbi Satellite. I have even wired in some of those devices devices that hard a time getting good signal. This has taken those items off of the WiFi network, further reducing the WiFi demand and increasing the the strength of the signal on the other devices. This device also saved me from having to track down my frayed home wiring network and having to climb into the attic to re-wire my in-home network.

Absolutely Fantastic
on May 29, 2019

I was reading reviews and hearing anecdotal accounts of just how "great the Orbi WiFi System was, but I was still skeptical. Skeptical because over the last 9 years, I have tried all of kinds "fixes," "extenders," and whatnot to get solid internet access all over my single story duplex. It was built in 1940, back when they used brick, mortar, and solid wood to build homes. My place is narrow, but it is long. Nothing ever quite did the trick; until now. The Orbi Wifi System is revelation. If I wanted to stream movies, FaceTime, or do anything that required high speeds, I used to be stuck in my living room. Now, I can start in one room and walk around my whole place, even out to the garage, and it's blazing fast and consistent. The hype is real. Thank you for making a superb product, NETGEAR.

Final solution
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: TerryO500
I moved to a new home and require a solid internet connection for my home office. Clear voice over IP and screen sharing are fundamental. I was challenged and frustrated with my traditional wireless router. The modem and many home devices are on the first floor and my office is downstairs on the opppsite corner with a concrete wall between. After much research, I went with the Orbi. I couldn't be happier with the '˜excellent' connection I now have no matter where I go in my home. Problem solved! It was simple to setup and was so easy to position with the sleek and '˜no wires' setup. I find the software interface and features like remote management really useful for monitoring connection speed and device connections. Highly recommend if you want to be done with your coverage problem.

Affordable whole house solution
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
I have some dead spots in my house. After a bunch of research I had narrowed down to two types of mesh systems. One "out of the box" solution, and one system combining routers of a certain manufacturer. After much consideration and comparisons of performance vs. price. The Netgear Orbi (RBK50) fit the bill perfectly. It's lower price point coupled with the AC3000 standard was just what I was looking for to solve my wifi requirements. Since the Orbi is an "out of the box" solution, the set up was easier than I could have imagined it would be, and the performance has been just what I expected. No more dead zones. The ability to create a guest network is also nice. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would highly recommend the RBK50 kit for users in similiar circumstances to mine.

Apple Extreme to Orbi - A Great Move
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Phil60744
What's it like to move from Apple to something else. It's always unnerving, but not in this case. We have all Apple in our home and have had the Airport Extreme for some time, with an external USB drive attached. We were '˜extremely' nervous about moving to Orbi, as Apple is just easy. Well, so much for that, Orbi was as easy as pie. We were having performance issues, as we have some 30 WiFi devices in our home that include 8 Bose speaker, 3 Mac Books, a Music Server, a ton of WiFi outlets, a printer and some other things. The Apple Extreme was caving under the load and was just too old for the job. Orbi was setup within 30 minutes, probably less and worked flawlessly out of the gate. If you're an Apple user and expect Apple simplicity, Orbi delivers. I'd rate it a 10/10.
