Worth the money
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Tony491
So I switched my old linksys router to the orbi and boy did I make a good decision. It was a little pricey but the performance is well worth the money. I have recommended this to everyone I know and will continue to. The setup was so easy that my technologically challenged parents could do it. I have a family of six with streaming TVs, smart phones, tablets, and laptops going all the time and there is no lag or buffering while watching tv with a lot going on. One of the best purchases I have made by far! Thanks netgear!

Awsome Orbi
on May 29, 2019

Love:
1) Form Factor
2) Ease of Setup
3) Most importantly, the performance

Areas of improvement needed:
a. Add a mounting feature so you can "hang" the router or satellites.
b. When the satellites are synching, have it flash thru the colors so you know it's actually working, and put in the manual that it may take 5 minutes. It should also not go to Magenta first by default, and that just creates anxiety (it shows magenta momentarily as a poor connection, and then moves to blue, best connection).

Excellent coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Terry26972
I have had the system for a few weeks and my old system consisted of an extender which was a pain to switch back and forth. The coverage was ok inside the house for most places but dropped to almost nothing just outside the door. Now I have max speed everywhere in the house and everywhere in my yard. I also had problems if there was more than a couple of people online the speed with be greatly reduced. With the Orbi I recently had 6 people online and was still getting 130 meg download which I pay for 100 meg speed.

Orbi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: helmontt72582
I have an Orbi with the router and 2 satellites in a 4500 square foot home. I get the same speeds when using wifi throughout my home as I would if I were using an ethernet cable connection. I've read all of the negative comments regarding the set-up and firmware issues and can honestly say that I've not run into any problems at all. Set-up literally took less than 5 minutes. I am extremely happy with my decision to go with the Orbi system and would recommend to anyone who has need of an expansive an reliable system.

Awesome and easy to set up
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Regan87725
I got the NetGear Orbi WiFi router as a recommendation from some friends. I am not very tech minded and was looking for an easy system to set up. From opening the box, hooking everything up, turning the system on, and configuring it was a breeze. Bonus was that we didn't even have to use our computer to set it up - it was done via one of our iPhones and the Orbi app. We immediately noticed a major improvement in out WIFi in our house. The speeds on the system are amazing. I would definitely recommend the NetGear

Orbis works great
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: TODD75625
Very easy set up as the satellite extender is already matched to the router it comes with. reached a excellent range. bought another extender and it was very easy to connect to the router. I would say this is the easiest set up for a router and extender system I have ever come across. Speeds are unmatched compared to my prior systems and I am getting speeds on speedtest that are as good as being hard connected to my modem at the distant ends of my house. I would definitely buy again and highly recommend this system.

Best consumer mesh router, hands down
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Ryan1764
Tried the Google WiFi first but it kept interfering with my baby monitors and didn't give me the ability to manuay adjust the band used for the 2.4 GHz channel. Picked up this router and I'm so glad I did because of 2 incredible features - there's advanced configuration through the web management console and it uses an independent 5 GHz channel to communicate between the base and the satellite, which optimizes the speed on your satellite router so you don't even notice a decrease in bandwidth speed anywhere in your house.

Best Router System
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Charles80652
This is the best router system I have ever had. Over the last 10+ years I have owned at least 5 routers and associated repeaters for my house. This is the first router system that actually works throughout my entire house. I always had issues with lost or weak signals with the other systems, not so with this one. The Orbi system puts out a very strong signal with little to no speed dropoff when you are going through on of the satellites. There is not a better, easier, more effective router system on the market today.
