System works well
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Scott26476
We have a long List shaped house. I use to have two routers which meant dropping one and connecting with the other depending on where you were. We also had spotty coverage. With the orbi I can be anywhere in the house and stay on the same network and the signal is stinger than one of the routers I replaced. We now have 3 Google chrome devices and every one is able to stream different shows at different locations. Last night my daughter had 8 of her friends over and all of them were on the orbi while three Chromecast devices were in the basketball game! The system is expensive but wow for performance!

Great system

I have a 2400 sq ft home with many walls. My old setup was a an ISP provided modem/router which was installed in one end of the house. I had an Ethernet over powerline system which was plugged into an old router I had. The best speed I could get in that end of the house was about 4 mbs upload with my plan being 150 mbs. At any rate, I purchased the Netgear CM700 modem and the Orbi system. Setup was a bit tricky but not too bad. Now I am getting constant speeds of ~140 to 150 mbs from a single SSID. I highly recommend this system for anyone looking for a simple reliable solution for whole home WiFi coverage.

fixed all of our WiFi issues

Prior to setting up Orbi, in the span of 5 days I got 57 alerts from my outdoor Nest camera saying it was offline (power was not interrupted so this was an indication of WiFi connectivity problems). After setting up Orbi (base unit + 1 satellite), I went for 17 days without a single alert. It's game-changing. Very easy to setup and manage. Works great streaming content within the network as well as bridging to the Internet. It deftly manages ~ 2 dozen IOT appliances (smart switches, Echos, cameras, ) 8 media devices (Roku, AppleTV, Sonos), and ~ 8 personal devices (phones, tablets, laptops). Two big thumbs up.

Absolutely Amazing!

OK, I'm a Mac user and have been for 25 years. I'd always used Mac products for their ease of setup and rock solid performance so I'd used Apple Airport Extremes for years. Well, it finally happened...my last Airport finally bit the dust. Since Apple no longer makes them, I was tasked with finding a wireless system that not only worked well but also was easy to set up for a Mac user. I did my research and picked the Orbi after reading many positive reviews. Guess what? IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY and I could not be more pleased. Mac users, consider this system when you need one, it simply will not disappoint, period.

Orbi fixed it all
on May 29, 2019

I replaced my old netgear router which was shot. Was only getting 14Mb down of the 200Mb I pay for. Orbi was easy to setup although the app didn't work for setup, it kept failing at step 3, I had to plug in ethernet directly to my laptop. After that it was a few clicks and done. It covers every inch of my 3 story 4000Sqft house. I'm getting 230Mb down (I forget what up was, but it's the most I've gotten in this house). Overall, I could not be happier. Phones, Chromecast, Pc's, Mac's, iPad, Roku. All running strong! It is expensive, but it does work well, I don't plan on having to worry about routers for a while!

Best WiFi Signal Across Concrete Walls
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Oscar55775
I live in a two story town house and the construction is full concrete. Had a big issue for so many years regarding the WiFi signal not reaching the first floor (my Cable Modem WiFi is on the second floor). With the Orbi I now have excellent coverage all around my house. XBox is working now beautiful and now I can really work from anywhere in my house (I do a lot of audio/video conferences in my job). The Orbi is a little more expensive vs. other solutions, but at the end I am really saving money and more important is the savings in hours and hours of my time per week. It is a no-brainer.... get Orbi NOW !!

Solved all dead zone issues
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Yury93
This system has solved all my dead zone issues, in addition to providing full uninterrupted coverage for all rooms. My neighbors understandably all use WiFi creating interferences, and my condo is relatively long and narrow, which leads to multiple walls between the router and connected devices, weakening the signal materially. I used an expensive router with a very long range before, but still had to enhance my coverage through extenders, while still leaving dead zones and having issues and delays when my devices had to reconnect to better signal sources if I move between rooms. Orbi has solved both problems.

Excellent Product
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: AH65581
I have a 2 level house with an approximate 2000sqft floor plan and this services the entire place including the much of the property surrounding the house.
One satellite is in communications area and other is near TV with all networked devices plugged into it. That feature is pretty nice.
System configuration was simple but missing a few advanced options. One in particular was the ability to update dyn-dns which I have a subscription to.
I have yet to put it through many other networking and streaming tests but so far the system works seemlessly and I have had no issues.
