I Couldn't Be Happier With Orbi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Juan93466
I work from home and I'm always downloading and uploading. I was. Looking for the best router to hook some extenders too. But my wifi signal was not strong outside the room i had the router in. Tired of low signal outside the main room and low connectivity, I decided to give the Orbi a go and bought the big router with the 2 satellites at Costco. And I must say, I am BLOW AWAY, literally. My house is over 5,000 square feet and I get at least 150 mbps on the far corners where the zapote tree is in my backyard. Closer to the router and satellites I get then entire 250 MBPS download and 25 MBPS upload speeda from my Comcast plan, indeed I get a little bit over 250 in download. I'm amazed that a wireless router can actually extend the full capacity of my internet plan without being wired. I told my dad and we are getting an Orbi for the family business.

This Orbi system ROCKS!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mark20460
We have almost 4000sq ft house and get all bars / full connectivity everywhere... Up to 118 Mbps speed. I have the tower up in my office on the top floor and am able to wire my computer and VOIP phone directly into the satellite tower without having to wire my office! I've also tested it at distance and have had plenty of speed still (30mbps download / 8 up) a couple hundred feet out behind our house, well past the pool area! We have lots of guests frequently with no issue and have 20+ devices on there regularly....You can set up your guest network. We can also control any device on the network at the push of a button without affecting anyone else...I.e. We want the boys off Youtube on the smart TV or off the gaming systems, done! Setup was a breeze,even a caveman (me) can do it!
Thanks Netgear, no more WiFi troubles! Solved many issues with this system!

True winner for best WiFi Mesh Router!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jason65002
Other than the very occasional hiccup every once in a while, the Orbi router system has been incredible. Even the hiccups mentioned could very well be coming from my ISP instead.
I've used two Apple AirPorts (one in bridge mode) as solution for years and the Orbi system just blows that away in terms of speed and reliability. Also tried a different mesh router for a few months before finally deciding to purchase the Orbi.
I think the real magic lies in Netgear's decision to incorporate a dedicated backhaul for communication between the main router and satellite. Apparently this allows the full signal strength to be sent to devices rather than losing a percentage for the satellite connection.
Also like the clean UI of the router admin panel as well as the Orbi mobile app. Has a few more advanced features that the other solution was missing as well.

Awesome product!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Moonlight57960756
This product has all the features you would like as a parent. We can turn off wifi to any device. You can change the name on these device since they come us by codes. That is a downfall but its not to hard to manage. You can see speed limits. You can control acess of wifi , like guest passwords and such. There are just so many great features. It switches between the signals on its own. I would recommend this product to anyone. It was a very easy set up. The app walks you through everything. We only got the 2, one for downstairs snd the other for up and the signal works awesome! We had so many problems with our house being old geyting a good signal upstairs, this is a wonderful product. We also got it so we could drop cable and get internet tv and it works great with that too. Its pricey but so so worth it. Hope you buy it and get all the enjoyment we did from it!

The only thing that worked!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: David30122
I recently moved into a guest house on a lake and wanted to utilize the landlords very high speed internet....the guesthouse is about 75 feet from the main house...I started trying a WiFi system that sent the signal through the electrical system - that worked for 1 day and quit....I then tried a WiFi extendor, but shockingly still barely had a bar of reception in the guesthouse....finally I bit the very expensive bullet and bought this system....it's quite frankly amazing - I have 5 bars and get every bit of internet my landlady pays for, still haven't seen a hickup over a week later....plus you can hardwire in devices that have issues with WiFi like my Xbox, which always disconnects from the WiFi - technically it's a WiFi connection but the Xbox is tricked into thinking its hardwired and hasn't had an issue since....highly recommend this product - though it's pricy

Airport Time Capsule is Dead- Long Live Orbi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: David72691
With Apple killing Airport Express and Time Capsule I was looking for a replacement "mesh" solution. Orbi rated high on all the reviews and seemed to be the best Time Capsule replacement. For the most part it's true - the setup was easy once I got past a cumbersome interim firmware upgrade and the system blanketed my 3 story townhouse with reasonably fast wifi. Don't expect to get an out of the box Time Capsule replacement though - the USB ports on the router and the satellites only "like" printers. No consistent luck plugging in any kind of USB hard drive to get the "Time Capsule" feel. Work on this Netgear and you'd be the perfect Apple Killer solution!
Having said that the iPhone App and the hard to locate Netwear Genie OS desktop App download allow fantastic administration. Well worth a look to those of you who are grudgingly giving up your Apple Airports.

Suberb performance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: SdB61355
I bought the Orbi system after my Asus router broke down. I decided to go with this system based on the good reviews and to finally get a reliable system with consistent speeds. We had multiple extenders throughout our home to provide sufficient coverage with variable results. With the Orbi I have been able to get rid of all our extenders and get consistent speeds in all part of our 2500 sq.ft home. Setup was easy and done in 10 minutes. You get a base station and a sattelite. The base station is directly connected to you modem and ensures that the data to your sattelite is of consistent bandwidth. You can connect your devices directly to the base station or to the sattelite and your five switches seamlessly between the 2 (or 3 if you decide to buy additional sattelites). Data speeds have been solid throughout and around the home. Can't recommend this product enough.

The True WI FI Coverage Cure
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Fire76829
Up until the Netgear Orbi I have been consistently disappointed with residential Wi-Fi routers. I have always researched and purchased the highest reviewed and rated WI FI routers available. Most of them with some sort of breakthrough technology gimmick that was sure to cure my WI FI woes. Frankly, I didn't expect much from the Orbi. Yes it was a little on the pricey side but I had enough of the underperforming routers in the past. With more and more items in my home utilizing WI FI it was becoming a more critical piece of equipment. The router and extender looked unassuming and setup was so easy that I was sure it wasn't going to perform as advertised. I couldn't have been more wrong. FINALLY a blistering fast and strong WI FI signal in every single area of my two story 2,500 sq ft house. So far it has performed flawlessly and I can't recommend it highly enough.
