Teenager Approved, lol
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Kigger33674
We bought the Orbi because our house had multiple dead zones and just never seemed to have reliable wifi. And when we could connect, it was always very slow. I did a lot of research and decided to try the Orbi. Setting it up was a piece of cake. The instructions were easy to follow. Once installed, my teenage kids immediately tried it out (with a bit of skepticism) and were so excited to have wifi throughout the house. My daughter even shouting... "I have all 3 bars in my room!". We are a family of 4 in a 3300 square foot home. We all have a smart phone/tablet, as well as 3 laptops and a gaming system. We have yet to run into problems. We are even able to get a strong signal outside. It was well worth the money and I'm only sorry we didn't do this sooner!

Sad I Waited This Long
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Wi-Fi73991
I'd been putting off an upgrade to a whole-home system for a while, but when I realized recently that my Wi-Fi options have been limited industry-wide to either a shady budget router, a black-and-red monstrosity designed for insecure gamers, or a whole-home system, I figured why not just try the latter.
I'm genuinely glad I did! The ease of setup coupled with the warm-and-cozy-blanket level of coverage is unreal, and I'm taking full advantage of my Internet plan and device speeds. As costs continue to fall I'll be recommending this more and more to friends and family as the best option for Wi-Fi.
Netgear reeled me in brilliantly with the dedicated 5GHz backhaul, I can't imagine a system without it, and at this point I'm fully ride-or-die with Orbi.

Easy and Excellent
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Michael53652
Orbi was easy to set-up - virtually automatic. It has met our needs and helped me produce strong wifi throughout are long/narrow home - even to our detached garage and decks. I have yet to find a weak signal anywhere. Orbi even (lightly) suggested items to set-up, such as a guest network. Two things that put Orbi way out in front of the competition: browser-based setup option (configured without internet-only app) and the ability (option) to hard-wire the backhaul channel. Now I can have all of our network needs on a single network throughout, such as the security cameras and casting. Ease of use was also important for my growing family, including the newer need for automatic updates/security. I made the jump to the Orbi system and I have been very happy.

Finally, internet everywhere in my home
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dennis13016
I purchased this product in hopes of improving the internet signal in my home. We have a 4500 sq/ft home and the internet modem is located in the basement. This meant that trying to use devices on the 2nd and 3rd floor of our home was intermittent and we often lost connection or the app would freeze. We have a smart TV and were unable to use it as by the time it found the connection it was too weak to use. Now with Orbi, we have strong internet signal everywhere. What I like best about this system is that there is no decrease in signal strength anywhere in my home. It was easy to set up and even a non-techie like me could do it. My son in law, who is an electrical engineer, was so impressed when he came to visit that he bought one for his home. Great Product !!

Answer To All WiFi Problems
on May 29, 2019

I love Orbi so much, that every time I try to get someone to buy one, I feel like they think I work Netgear. I've never praised a product and fee as strongly as I do about Orbi. It feels the internet is significantly faster, and travels significantly farther than any other alternative I've used. It's worth every penny, and I'm not sure how or why everyone doesn't own an Orbi setup... it's really that good. So far, I've convinced my parents, my cousin (who convinced his parents), my sons friends parents, and my work to use Orbi.... every single one of them are blown away. The conference room at my work use to drop the Wifi signal... now, not only do we get full signal, we are getting 300+ megabits/second when we only pay for 300.
Thank you Orbi.

Amazing Speed and Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jeff91970
My old Netgear AC1200 router worked fine in a small apartment, but when we moved in to our new house we found that it was really struggling to cover all of the areas we needed it to. I decided to upgrade to the Orbi system after a frustrating night of pulling down 6 Mbps on the far corner of my couch and constantly having our AppleTV pause to buffer. After the upgrade, I am now pulling down 130 Mbps from that exact same spot, and our video streaming is consistently smooth and coming in at 1080p resolution (my next upgrade will be a 4K TV now that my router can provide the bandwidth)! Just for kicks I wanted to see what would happen in the basement underneath that spot, and I was shocked to see that it was still 120 Mbps. I am definitely happy with the early results!

Easy Setup and Great Reach
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Aaron13272
We have a 3600 sqft, two story house and always had some challenges in the far corners of our living area. Unfortunately, one of these areas is our media room that has some streaming and gaming devices in it. I've tried extenders in the past and while it worked, I still was getting QUITE A BIT OF LOSS. I got so frustrated, that I decided to bite the bullet and invest in the Orbi after extensive research.
5 minutes later, I was receiving incredible speeds in all areas of my house, including the garage which had some smart devices in it as well.
No issues at all and have really enjoyed the easy setup and customization for the Orbi.
Jury is still out on Circle, but that is a separate product and one that doesn't affect my ratings of this product specifically.

Worth every penny
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: NetgearFan98766
My house is roughly 3400sqft 150 years old with walls that are 10' thick made of brick and plaster. Needless to say, it was built with WiFi in mind, lol. I recently replaced my Nighthawk router with the Orbi RBK50 mesh system and could not be happier about the performance. I have Spectrum service and am currently only on their base 100mbps. I am clocking consistent speeds of roughly 113 down and 12 up...ON WIFI with the orbi, and take those readings in the farthest point in the hose I can get from the router or the satellite. Amazing. I was skeptical until a coworker had told me how happy he was with his; did some research, talked to a few other folks and went for it. So glad I did. It's really a great product. I am using a Netgear CM600 modem along with the Orbi.
