Orbi... as in Orbit!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Eleque83108
The Orbi delivers in what I think is good looking package. Download the Netgear Genie App and you'll have great control of your new network. This is a true evolution of what I had been doing with outdated Apple Routers. The dedicated backhaul WiFi antenas and now with the new firmware is also able to support wired backhaul. I looked at lesser priced options, but Netgear has been doing a good job with firmware updates. I needed the Ethernet ports and four on each of the satellites and 3 on the router was a big plus.. Most competitors skimp on these so in the end the little extra you spend to me is a wash. So far I am digging this AC3000 package with 1 router and 2 satellites.

Blankets my apartment with speedy wifi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Travis19056
Do you need a Mesh WiFi system if you live in a two bedroom apartment? Not if you live in a faraday cage. Since I live in a 200-unit building that's replete with competing signals, sturdy building materials, and a city around me I needed something to properly complement my Gigabit fiber. I bought the RBK50 two-pack and was surprised that it blanketed my entire apartment from corner to corner in nearly 500 mbps throughput. The only missing spot was outside the front door - acceptable considering it was down a long, L-shaped entryway. I added a wall-plug satellite unit which provided up to 250 mbps at the door to cover my Nest Secure and Nest Hello. Very happy with this purchase!

Set it and forget it
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: KHBN36951
After paying month-in and month-out for the terrible wifi router provided by my internet provider, I finally decided to manage my own wifi. Our house is only 1650 square feet, but is long and narrow, additionally, it is an old home with think lath-and-plaster walls. Despite using repeaters and wireless access points, I consistently had dead spots in my house. The Orbi setup took, maybe, a half-hour, and there are no longer deadspots in the house or dropped wifi between the router and the repeater. Wifi works seamlessly throughout the house. I haven't much used the app yet, but like that I can see who is accessing the internet, and disconnect users (read: teenagers) as I see fit.

Solid Performance and Range
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jeff77928
The best of the mesh WiFi systems I've tried. Firmware update allows for a "daisy chain" setup, so the configuration can be: router > satellite > satellite. That is very handy if you have an internet source somewhere other than in the center of your home. Speeds are great. Coverage is excellent as well. When moving to another part of the house with a mobile wifi device (like a cell phone), I sometimes notice a very slight delay while the device connects to the nearest satellite. It is 1 second max, and is not generally an issue, even when using wifi calling. All in all, the Orbi is great and I recommend it to anyone looking for a top notch mesh WiFi system with good speed and coverage.

Don't look anywhere else for a WiFi system
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: cereed0963314
I bought the Orbi a little over a week ago to replace a router that was only two years old. The Orbi absolutely blows the old router out of the water and is amazing. It is easy to use and took only minutes to set up. From there I have WiFi in every nook and cranny of my house thanks to the satlellite and router combo. The speeds are also great and consistent, averaging OVER the speeds I actually pay for (I pay for 150mpbs, Orbi averages 179mbps). Orbi is also able to handle over 30 devices I utilize at once which is nothing short of a seeming miracle compared to other products I have used. I spent weeks comparing products and I couldn't be happier to have the Orbi system in my home.

Orbi RBK50
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Gwiz226036401
Am absolutely astonished at how well this setup improved my wifi in my home. It is a 3 level log home, with real logs that prevented signal from reaching approximately 30% of the home, not to mention outside it was almost nonexistent. This system now allows 100% wifi coverage at full speed which I pay for 200mbps, and testing shows consistent 230+! Also have coverage outside the home for about 30 feet! Cannot be happier as this now allows for all of our wifi security cameras to be installed covering our entire property. Cannot recommend enough. Extremely pleased with the performance and wish I would have done this initially instead of spending money on wifi extenders and repeaters.

ORBI Mesh Network
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Fred69685
Although the ORBI Mesh network is surprisingly easy to setup (half an hour for three units without typing in anything other than a password) the biggest surprise was its performance. Not only was the speed (throughput) equal to my cable modem at 93 Mbps, but the range at full throughput was astounding. At locations that were 45' from the nearest satellite I still had MAX speed. We now have full speed at all locations in a 4500 sq foot home on three floors. We even have full speed in our garage.An excellent product with unexpected simplicity of setup and superb performance. We liked it so well, we bought a second ORBI set for the office. Same performance - we love the ORBI Mesh Network.

Orbi mesh meets 12 inch thick walls
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: RichK71883
The problem was to insrall wi-fi in a 4,800 square foot 200 year old house with 12 inch interior and exterior brick walls. Prior to mesh network technology, the only option would be using A wi-fi range extender. With the Orbi mesh system, I was able to install the Orbi router in ta 1st floor central room and then a satellite in the front foyer and another satellite in the 2nd floor hallway. The system self configured and optimized itself and the router reports that satellite connectivity is good. Speedtest scans show upwards of 300MB bandwidth at different location the house. Future expansion of another satellite may be in the future if additional wi-fi connectivity is needed outdoors
