Outstanding Speed and Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: David72910
The Netgear Orbi RBK50, which I recently purchased, installed very easily. The on line instructions were complete and easy to follow. Our old router bogged down completely when we began automating our home. We could not even stream high def video any more. All of that is a thing of the past now. With the Orbi base station and single satellite we have installed, our 4000sf home is now completely covered including our garage and back yard decks. In addition, the Orbi app shows all hard wired and wifi devices which are connected. What a pleasure to use compared to the router included with our cable modem and all the other routers I have tried over the years.

Household WiFi Connectivity
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dylan73311
I moved from an apartment into a 2,300 square foot home with two stories and a twisting layout with nooks and crannies.The 2 in 1 router/modem we'd used at the apartment just didn't have the capacity to provide my new house with the WiFi coverage I needed.
After researching the Orbi and learning about mesh technology I made the decision to invest in the Orbi system. Once out of the box, my entire home was shrouded in full WiFi coverage in about 20 minutes. The setup was easy, and I have full bars in every room. I even noticed during day one as I came home from work my phone connected to the WiFi before I even get to my front driveway. I was very satisfied.

Unbelievably easy, reliable!

We needed a new router and saw the Orbi in a few other homes. Afraid of the price, we realized it truly would be worth the money as it allows amazing digital growth in our home and it would provide ample coverage in all areas of our home. Connecting it was super easy, quick, and within 10 minutes our entire house of 2 Alexa's, 1 laptop, , wir less printer, 4 smart phones, 4 iPads, 2 TiVo, and 2 wemo plugs, was up and running! Our laptop and devices previously held one to two out of 5 service bars, immediately they went to five full bars and have held strong throughout the entire time! I'm so glad we decided to splurge on this as it has enhanced our digital lives!

So far so good! But...

Setup was fairly straightforward and it's been working great so far. The only thing I'd change has to do with the way you packaged my RBK53 system. You put a little plastic ring on the top of the main router and each satellite that identified them. The only problem with this is that that transparent ring of slippery plastic is right where you'd naturally grab the device when taking it out of the box. Long story short, the ring slipped off and I immediately dropped my brand new router on a hardwood floor. It seems like it's ok, but it definitely scared me. If others do the same thing, you may have unexpected returns just because of the way you packaged the device.

Very satisfied with purchase

I was looking for a solution to replace my current setup which had an Apple Time Capsule and a Repeater. I was having issues where my phone wouldn't switch between the two gracefully... causing my phone to have poor reception when I'm on the opposite side of the house until I disconnect / reconnect.
Netgear Orbi solved that issue and was very easy to setup. I can't vouch for system stability yet as I've only had it for about a week, but so far so good. My house did take a power hit and the Netgear Orbi recovered fine + linked back up with the Satellite without needing my intervention.
The speed and range are excellent. So far, I am very happy with this product!

WiFi so good you forget about it.

The router from our internet provider had a very short range so I tried adding a network extender. The speed of the add-on extender was half the speed of the router. Next I ran ethernet wire from the router to the other end of the house and set up a second router. This solved the speed problem, but I had to constantly switch my devices back and forth between the two networks. Finally I replaced my main and auxiliary routers with the Orbi system and now I have a single, fast WiFi connection that extends from one end of my house to the other and beyond into the yard. The Orbi isn't cheap, but it's so worth it. I don't think about WiFi anymore and that's a good thing.

Amazing!! Totally amazing!!

I had been experiencing brief web outages, tons of dropped connections, not to mention the buffering!! I kept blaming it on my service provider but then one day my router just stopped working. Went and splurged and got my Orbi. Life changing! No more WiFi boosters all over my house so I can have marginal security footage. This thing does the job with just the base and satellite and does the job exceptionally. My security cottage is clear, my movies stopped buffering just when the music was getting intense and no issues with my internet connections. This gem is worth every penny. Glad I made this purchase. I highly recommend and would buy again if I needed to.

Wow

I purchased and installed the Netgear Orbi last week. Wow, it has made such a difference! High-speed, fiber optic internet service recently became available near our home. We jumped at the opportunity to have it installed. We opted for the router offered by the provider. It was great if you were nearby, but it wasn't sufficient for the entire house. Our internet provider suggested a "mesh-router" and even offered to credit our account for the price of the original router and a $100 credit to help offset the price of a new router system. I just did a speed test using the Orbi app on my phone, Download speed - 314.06, Upload speed - 835.20! You can't argue with that!
