WiFi everywhere!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: BC7282
I live in an old house with a stone foundation, plaster walls and choppy layout. Despite a central location for my wi-fi router, I simply couldn't get reliable connections in many parts of the house. I researched solutions (and tried extenders to no avail). This system rose to the top of most reviews. Well it works as advertised. My bonus room now can easily stream 4K when before it wouldn't stay connected.
Set-up is easy IF you follow all the instructions. I skipped a step and had to start over. But once I patiently followed them, I've had no issues. Other's complained about the bulkiness (the units are about the size of a box of baby wipes which stand on end). I just hid them behind a picture frame on my end tables. :)
This system is pricey BUT it will solve your issue if you install it correctly.

High-performance wireless
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Adolph33378
I just recently purchased several security cameras around my house and I was not satisfied with the quality of the connection throughout my property. I am an IT director at my company and wireless is a very essential service that we provide to our employees. So it was important that I had a similar experience at home.
Being an IT director you would think that I would like to be tinkering around with wireless settings. Which is not true, I want something to work I wanted to be easy and I wanted to be the best.
Installing the wireless Orbi, was pretty easy. But the best part was that it was very fast. With the previous wireless equipment that I had at my home. It did not take advantage of my high-speed bandwidth that I received from my cable providers. But with the Orbi it takes advantage of my internet speeds.

Finally, a WiFi network that covers my whole home.
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Stanton13961
I have gone through multiple modems and routers over the last several years. My home is somewhat large and getting signal from upstairs east side of house where the modem is, to main floor west side in my family room, was always a problem. I tried extenders and secondary WiFi routers. Some gave me a good signal on the main floor but left me with two networks to switch between. With printer on one network and phone on another I could not print without getting closer to the printer so I could switch networks. The Orbi system solved all my problems. I finally have one network that covers the entire home, out on the deck, well into the yard and into the farthest part of a three car garage. Set up was easy and flawless. I hesitated at the cost at first, but would recommend the system to anyone who asks me about it.

Wifi bliss and stylish device appearance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Kevin76437
I originally had the Netgear nighthawk modem router combination which is not a bad all in one. I've been purchasi g Netgear products for around 10 years now and they have never failed me. However, I was having difficulty with the wifi reaching the front of my house with the Nighthawk combo. After cutting off the radios on the Netgear modem router, I hooked up the orbi which was very simple and straightforward. After you download the app, it's effortless. Now I have Wi-Fi at full strength in every room in my house with the modem and single satellite setup. I love Netgear's Orbi system and will be installing it at my mother's house as well. Not sure about the reviews about Network signal dropping but I have not had that problem since day one. I've had the system for 3 weeks now and have not had a single failure.

Best Mesh Network for Consumers
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: ZurkeyDurkey46550
Netgear has hand-down the best Mesh network for consumers with their Orbi product. Powerful range and throughput, ethernet backhaul, and four usable ethernet ports per unit. I couldn't ask for more. Also, it is true mesh (for those non-believers, looks at the firmware notes from a few months ago).
I use my satellite unit in ethernet backhaul mode. But, to be honest, the speeds were still amazing even without it. The setup on these devices is easier than most of the competition. Being able to pause internet access per device from the app is a plus, as well. The only two features I wish Orbi had were a live network traffic monitor per device, and a region-based system for prioritizing nearby players for online fighting games.
Go with Orbi. You have no idea how much better it is than your traditional router.

Powerful Wi-fi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: GTB44337
I have a large home, and due to the placements of my cable company's router, and extenders I was not getting the type of speeds in my house that I was paying for.
My signal was dropping in parts of the house, and especially in my home office where I need internet.
I initially tried out the Linksys Velop system, but still wasn't getting anywhere close to the speed I needed. It also was having a hard time maintaining a signal in the dead zones in the house.
Then I tried the Orbi AC3000 system (RBK50), and it quadrupled the speed I was getting from the cable company's router, and doubled the speed I was getting from the Linksys Velop system.
No dead zones, no dropped signals, and no problems! It was easy to set up, and the Orbi system sends out the most powerful wi-fi signal to the entire house!!

Very impressed!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: JerryS68062
I am very impressed with the Orbi system. Quite simply, it does what it's supposed to do and it was very easy to set up. The Orbi system expanded my wifi range and improved speeds at greater distances within my house and yard. As a specific example, before installing the Orbi system, I had about half of the wifi speed that I was supposed to have at one of the points in my house farthest from the router (note: speed tests performed wirelessly, versus a wired connection via an ethernet cable, normally have somewhat slower speed test results than expected as there is degradation of signal the farther away you are from the router). After installing the Orbi system, I had the full internet speed that I was supposed to have and at a better wifi signal at that same location in my house. It's a nice system and simple to set up!

Blazing fast WiFi and Rock Solid Stability
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Trimanutah20746
I honestly thought these mesh networks were a gimmick. Until recently, I'd been using an R8000 router with an R7000 functioning as an access point. The setup had great coverage, but the speeds were so-so, and we had to do router restarts on the regular. With the Orbi, I haven't touched it again after the initial set up. My speeds are consistently 300-420 Mbps down and 35-40 Mbps up (line speed from isp is 400/40). We have about 12 wired devices connected to the network and an additional 10 - 20 wireless devices. It never lags, we've purposely tried to 'break' the internet by streaming and gaming on as many devices as possible at the same time and seen no degradation in quality. I don't care how complex your setup is or how much of a power user you are, the Orbi can take it. I only wish I'd bought it sooner!
