A modern wonder
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jim8323
The cable connection is downstairs. I am upstairs. Through plaster and lathe walls. A previous extender just didn't work. The signal was slow, weak and unreliable. Then I got the Orbi. I connected the router, put the satellite in my room and turned it on. I was still reading the manual when I saw the purplish light. Uh-oh, that wasn't good. Maybe I was too far? I was still reading what to do when the light turned white. I'm connected! So I switched my wifi over to the router, and suddenly, 94 Mbps! And that was the wonder. The entire bandwidth to the house, wirelessly and flawlessly. The way wireless routers should be. MLB.tv has never been better!

Great coverage for larger homes
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Congruous74236
My home is 3600 sqft and I was only getting 50 mb download in my office which is upstairs. I pay for 200 mb because I run my business out of my home. After hours of research and a few trips to Best Buy I purchased the Orbi RBS50, it is EXPENSIVE for a router. I was thinking this is getting returned if I don't see a huge jump in my internet speed. It took all of 10 minutes to get it configured and I was able to consistently get download speeds over 200 mb. Best Investment I have made in the past 5 years. MY office is upstairs on the opposite side of the house from, the router. Do yourself a favor and just go buy one you will not be disappointed. But don't buy the Mini !!!!

Replacing old Comcast home network with Netgear
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: CLS32682
Home owner with older local network. Always had connection problems. We have tired extenders etc. Finally decided to start all over. Went with the Netgear CM500V modem and the RBK-50 router. The hardest part was talking/working with Comcast to take my old modem off and recognize the new modem. I tried to do it manually per the instructions but it did not finish completely. Had to call Comcast. After they finally fixed their side I set up the RBK50 router. It automatically set up in a flash. No problems, no phone calls. Good instruction. It worked just like it was suppose to. I was so excited after spending several hours with Comcast. The range is very good and strong. No problems connecting, no dropped signals, speed test has more than doubled.

Orbi Exceeds My Expectations
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Paul27311
I had just about given up hope of being able to utilize the full potential of 1 GB service that I'm receiving through Cox Communications here in Scottsdale. It seemed like every router I tried to use could never give me more than 100 to 200 MBPS through my WiFi connection. Since my house is set up to only be Wi-Fi based I was looking for other options that could increase my speed and I found it in the Orbi. I now enjoy speed's throughout the house of up to 800 MBPS. I never have any streaming lagging or a reduction in my conductivity.
I highly recommend the Orbi as a system to better cover large homes while also offering up to four ports for wiring various systems to the Internet .
I considered the Linksys system but opted for the Orbi because of the increased number of available ports along with needing less 'towers' to provide effective coverage throughout my home.

Much Much Better
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Home36949
I've followed the discussions on the Netgear forum regarding a painful two months of handicapped Orbi hardware because of buggy firmware release by Netgear (that should have been better vetted by their engineers). I coincidently bought my 3 station orbi (and added a 4th this week) right around when Netgear releases firmware version 2.1.2.18. I have had none of the issues attributed to versions prior to 2.1.2.18. I'm an experiencing very good wifi speeds and coverage. The family is finally enjoying the internet speeds we pay our ISP for. Is it perfect. No. Netgear still has some issues with the GUI a user would use to periodically monitor their devices with but that is a purely cosmetic issue because it doesn't affect the underlying performance of the hardware. (To clarify, the firmware is referring to the software that runs on the Orbi hardware not the hardware itself...only one version of the hardware for each model of Orbi)

Device great, too many conflicting instructions
on February 17, 2020
Posted by: Spheltem
Had it paired per the enclosed instructions, but would not appear in the app. App instructions were slightly different. Not sure what I did, but after walking away for a few hours and clearing my head, it paired right up.

As Expected
on May 26, 2020

The RBS50Y was delivered as expected. If it had PoE that would have been nice then a person could have hooked up devices at a remote location to get a WiFi signal instead thinking about obstructions
