Great wifi extender
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Sarge86812
I was having trouble with the wi-fi range from my AT&T U-Verse router, so decided to give the Orbi system a try. I'm happy to report it does the trick! While the extended speed isn't quite as fast as the original router, it's much faster (and stronger) than what I was getting in the upstairs of my house. My game systems are upstairs and they weren't getting a strong enough signal to game or download effectively. With this system and the extended routers set up I can now game and stream in those rooms with no issues! Set up was pretty easy, though there were some adjustments required for the AT&T router (done in the router settings). Once that was done it's been smooth sailing ever since. Highly recommended if you have rooms that need a signal.

Best WiFi Ever
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Harley15304
This thing is amazing. I just moved from an ~1800 sq foot apartment in to a 2500 sq foot house. In my apartment my WiFI was ok. It worked in most room at an OK speed. I could get about half the speed of my internet connection on a good WiFi signal. This was all on my old AC1200+ router from another company. After moving I setup my new Netgear Orbi RBK50 mesh router. I can't believe the difference. I have a perfect WiFi signal in every corner of my house, and every device is able to utilize the full speed of my internet connection, and that is saying something with a symetrical 300 mbps dedicated fiber connection. This is the first time I haven't felt the need to have a wired connection in every room for high speed needs. My review title says it all.

Powerful, flexible and wicked fast
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Speakers50632
The RBK50 + RBS50 were relatively easy to set up although the satellite unit needed to be close to the router to sync initially. I chose to use the web set-up rather than the app because I needed advanced features.
I have a mixture of g, n and ac wifi devices and wired machines that all connected flawlessly and fast. I like the web-based management tools for configuring and monitoring devices. The RBK50 replaces an Apple Airport Extreme router.
The units - one upstairs and the other down - provide excellent coverage inside the house and also very adequate to a good distance outside (so I can garden with wifi service).
I was delighted to be able to use the guest network feature which is firewalled for the LAN itself and has a separate password.

Didn't Even Know I Needed It
on May 29, 2019

I didn't even know that I needed this in my life. I have had many routers in the past, the Night Hawk being the most recent before upgrading to this tri-band, whole home system and I can't even believe it works as well as it does! I have had NO lag whatsoever in my Xbox online gaming and none in my Netflix or Hulu streaming. Where normally I would wait for my shows to buffer a bit I have not had to wait once since we installed this! I knew it would make a difference but I truly did not believe it would be this seamless. I have a guest network that is easily connected and even my Ring hasn't disconnected or lost signal like it would on occasion. Really loving this and although it has only been two weeks I am hopeful that it continues to stay this great.

Great Product with Easy Set Up
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: PD37458
We were having spotty Wifi connectivity issues throughout the house. The TV would drop and would had poor coverage in the basement.
I bought the NetGear Orbi so that we could solve these problems easily. I did a lot of research before picking the Orbi. I wanted something that had the option for on outdoor unit so we could have coverage while we were on our back deck.
The set up of the unit was very intuitive and I didn't need to call anyone to get it setup. Things were set up in about 30 minutes. I also purchased the outdoor unit but it turns out I didn't need it. I returned it to the store because the 3 units provide excellent coverage outside without the outside unit. I recommend this to anyone that needs to solve their Wifi issues easily.

Father of 3 boys
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Steve17016
So far, Orbi is everything I want in a WiFi router. For years, I had a Cox-supplied router with an extender upstairs and the only room where I ever tested even close to the speed specified by Cox was in the same room as the router. Outside of that room, the speed was usually less than 1/20th of the specified speed. Now, with Orbi, I've been testing at or above the Cox specified speed in every room in the house. The set up was extremely easy. The only issue I had was my preference to not broadcast my internet id. Orbi's simplified set up didn't give me that option, but I was able to find simple instructions to change that Orbi setting on the Netgear website. My family and our roughly 15 connected devices all seem very satisfied with the new Orbi.

Love it!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Rachel94478
I love my Orbi system. We have approx. 4200sq.ft. spread across 2.5 floors and we are able to cover the whole house with just 2 units - the base and 1 satellite. We used to have several different routers set up, with different ISIDs and passwords, which meant if you went from the 2nd floor to the basement, you had to change which network you were on. Now it all works seamlessly. I also love that it comes with Circle, which we were already using, so we were used to it. It is a little annoying, though, that we had to buy a subscription when we had already bought the system. A couple times the satellite has inexplicably dropped, but I was able to get it back up quite easily. And the speeds are AWESOME - we are finally getting the advertised internet speeds!

Depressed
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Rick31193
For years I have been depressed with terrible WiFi coverage. Even paid extra for cable equipment that had wired extenders. Then through countless hours of research I found ORBI by Netgear. Easy setup in minutes and then, PROBLEM SOLVED! Absolutely no weak areas in a house that has a lot of walls and windows on two floors and reaches a good 150 ft. In the yard. I even called all my friends to explain my happiness. THEN, I called my cable company that spent many hours on different days trying to help me. I told them that the ORBI WOULD SOLVE ALL THEIR THEIR PROBLEMS if they would call Netgear. I think they would save Big $$$ for their company on trouble calls. All I can say is the ORBI IS UNBELEIVABLE !!!!! My ORIBI IS THE RBK 50 and 1 satellite. rko
