Worth the upgrade
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Hueythan79619
Upgrading from Apple Airport Extreme, which was not a bad router in any mean, and the difference is astouding. Both the speed and range are significantly better. I guess I have been paying for the high speed Internet without actually utilizing all of it. Everyone in the family notices the difference as well.
The only drawback is that parental control requires a seperate app called Circle and you have to pay to full use all of its function. Id like to be able set time out and schedule online for my little cousin but can't with the free version. I could do that on my old Airport Extreme.
Anyway, i'd till recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new router.

Very Reliable
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Brian79767
I recently bought a NETGEAR Orbi Home Mesh WiFi System (RBK50) to replace my new Fios Quantum Gateway Modem/Router. The Quantum kept dropping wifi connections and was very unreliable. The Orbi was a little difficult to install but very manageable. The Orbi instructions are terrible. However installation is straightforward and once up and running the signal is very strong and reliable. I have had it in for two months and and the wifi has virtually never dropped a device. I have a large 3 story plus basement house (9,000 square feet) with many users of the system. Even with multiple streaming devices the Orbi speed is still very fast. I would highly recommend it.

Netgear Orbi Home WiFi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Cagrammie31834
I recently purchased and installed an Orbi home WiFi system. I am a senior woman with good technical skills. My house is two stories with 3200 SF. Installation was extremely simple, with no problems whatsoever. I was very impressed with the plug and play ease with which I took my old system offline and brought this one up. I paired it with a new Netgear cable modem. Both products have improved our home WiFi significantly. We have multiple users and devices going, including Alexa and associated devices. No stalls, no drops, just smooth worry-free WiFi. I highly recommend this system to anyone who is looking to take their home WiFi to a whole new level of performance.

Large Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dale26423
Orbi has removed all dead spots in our rather large home (6,000+ sq ft) with coverage even in the front and back yards, though be it a bit slower due to the 2.4 GHz band. This was to be expected.
I ran over 50 speed tests, before installation of the router and two satellites. Using a 300 Mb cab,e service, I was able, on average, to nearly double wireless speed. In fact, most tests after installation showed a speed of 290+ GHz showing little to no wireless degradation. This was a nearly 120% improvement.
I am running the new setup in AP Mode with now wired backhaul from the satellites.
This system has really helped in coverage area and speed throughout the home.

Very nice access point
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: JJ53983
So I bought this in kit in costco, overall it is a very nice "router".
I am using it at my house as a access point, as i have cisco firewall in the front. Overall it is very solid, the only thing I really want to see is the parental settings, since I am using it as AP, those settings are automatically disabled, so I can't really take advantage of that. So I have to use my cisco to make sure I am monitoring my kid's internet activities. But expect that, signal is good, ping is very low (I am using FIOS Biz Gig network), very impressed, previous I used cisco AP, Dell AP, not as good as this, and I need to have POE+ switches to support them.
Netgear, very solid, nice job.

Outstanding Performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Stivo78061
Before purchasing the Orbi system for our home we had gone through several different routers and extenders. My home office is downstairs and that's where the main router and modem are connected.
Our home is a walkout ranch with around 3000 Square ft. We always had issues receiving consistent connections upstairs in certain rooms. We would experience a lot of dropped and weak signals.
After purchasing and setting up the Orbi mesh system out problems were over. We have not had any problems with connecting all our devices and all the signals are strong and consistent.
If you are looking for a powerful and high performance piece of equipment this is your answer.

Blazing speeds/No dead zones
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Samuel77031
We bought a house that was built in the early 20th century (1905 I think). Because of that, the walls are made with lath and plaster. As some know this can really kill your wifi signal. After a lot of research I decided to give the Orbi system a try, and I am not disappointed. I keep the main router centrally in the downstairs, and I have the satellite upstairs in our master bedroom. I've also purchased a small satellite for the back porch so I even get internet outside, and in my garage. The wireless signal though my whole house is excellent and the speeds are 340+Mbps...keep in mind I only pay for 300. If you want excellent wifi coverage, and blazing speed, look no further.

More coverage then expected
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Pete66956
Very impressed with the Orbi so far. I've had the set for about 2 weeks and in the increase in coverage is great. I bought the Router with one Satellite package. My main goal was to provide a good signal to my shed about 100' from my house for my Ring spotlight cam. My standard wireless router could not get any signal at all out to the shed. What I thought was I'll get the Orbi package to give my house good coverage and I'll then have to order the new Orbi outdoor satellite to reach the shed. Well I set up the Orbi system in the house and I have found that with it I an getting a good strong signal at the shed 100' from the house without needing the outdoor satellite at all.
