Worth it!!!!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Saeed5101
I am extremely happy with the performance of this new wireless router system. I was skeptical at first as every router I had owned before covered only a part of the house and left the rest of the house without WiFi. As a result I had to resort to adding boosters and extenders which caused IP conflicts and resulted in an even more useless and unwanted wireless connectivity. I constantly had to switch to one channel to use the printer and another channel to use other devices.
This router has solved all those issues for me. Now I have one SSID, all my devices are present on that one SSID, I have coverage in every spot of the house including the front and back yard and don't have to turn off a device to make sure we get enough speed on other devices.
I am so glad I made the move. Was it expensive,,,,,, NO,,,,,, and every dollar I paid for this router system was worth it.

Impressed so far...

We were in a unique situation, we chose to see if the Orbi could be used to bridge two suites in our office building. We ended up with two non-adjoining suites on the same floor of our office building with two separate internet connections, thus doubling our monthly expenses. The suites were close enough, that we were able to use the orbi, with it's dedicated backhaul channel to bridge the gap between the offices. The results were that we were able to eliminate one of our internet connections, saving about $100/mo. and that all our machines are on the same network, allowing easy use of remote desktop and shared components like printers. Win-Win. I did have some initial difficulty because I renamed the new network to match the previous, but forgot to reserve our printers, IP address, once everything was sorted, it been running like a champ, saving us money and making work easier.

Nice upgrade

I have previously used linksys equipment in the past but it appeared they would work well for a few years and then randomly die off so I thought it would be worth it to try something new. I read several reviews on the power of this unit and I'm not disappointed. On my old router I would see around 85% of the speed I'm rated, and with this it is 95 plus consistently. The signal is also much more consistent around and outside our house. They are also clean enough looking that it can be visible and not look nerdy. I wasn't sure I liked the white as most of my tech is black, but after a couple weeks I don't know if I'd like it as much in black. I also like the satellites having ethernet ports as one of my TVs is older and doesn't support the higher speed WiFi bands. This system certainly isn't cheap, but if you want the best signal and speeds you have to pay for it.

Game changer!

Got tired of the extenders and switching between them and the router depending on where I was in the house so I wanted to try a mesh network solution. One desktop PC was on an old 802.11g WiFi print server with Ethernet ports to connect the PC. The Netgear AC3000 solved ALL the problems. Now? Super strong signal throughout the house connecting at anywhere from 200-600 Mbps. I bought the satellite unit with 4 Ethernet ports to feed the one PC and it is about 5-7 times faster. I can now actually do image backups of large hard drives over the net in short order. This is a high quality unit with some nice features and flexibility to fit any need for WiFi. Love that 1.7 Gbps backhaul radio too that keeps the traffic between the router and satellite unit off of the main 2.4 GHz. and 5 GHz. WiFi radios. Video and IP phone calls are solid with NO drops. Like I said, a game changer!

Like a snail got a bottle rocket upgrade

Bought this because my provider provided router/modem didn't reach my bedroom or most of my top floor. Read the reviews and was a little taken back by the absence of truly "Mesh network" but was happy to see that it was faster than other popular "Mesh network" systems like the Google home wifi. Easy setup and installation and when I finally tested my speeds WOW!! upstairs I was lucky to get 5 Mbps now I'm over 100 Mbps consistently. I can strwam, play video games, download, YouTube and I don't have to worry about buffering anymore. Can't say enough great things about this system, matter of fact I said so many nice thing about this system my friend bought one too. Beware though some ISP provided routers require some tweaking before their router/modems will play nice with the orbi, learned that the hard way, Att looking at you here!
Awesome product, great price and 24/7 tech support

Easy install, great performance

I wanted a tri-band mesh router to cover my house & yard. The Orbi RBR50 was easy to install and has worked flawlessly. My speed test has shown about 100 Mbps; Fios upped my speed over Thanksgiving and Orbi has supported this speed. My Orbi is connected to the Fios router. After several days I noticed 2 problems: 1) 404 errors after clicking on links in phone email or PC mail and 2) login requests for some sites that should not ask. I searched on internet and found another user suggesting putting Orbi in AP mode. My other router had been in AP mode prior to replacing it with Orbi. So I logged into Orbi from my PC, switched it to AP mode and within minutes, no more problems. I am using AP mode so that my multifunction printer and other devices are available to any phone, tablet, or PC connected to either the Fios router or the Orbi mesh network.
Very happy with my purchase.

World-class WiFi Mesh System
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: World-class5084
I have been using this for over a week now and I can tell, right out of the box through usage in a 2000 sq. ft. two-leveled 4-bedroom, single-family home, the coverage & speeds I am getting all over my home is truly world-class. I've never had the 'luxury' of experiencing speeds in the corners of my home of near wire-speeds of 250Mbps that I am getting with this system. Outstanding so far. The only minor complaint (if one would call it that) is the larger size of the router SBR50 & the satellite SBS50's, but then the advantage for me that each of these have 4 Gig Ethernet ports, through which I get true wirespeeds, given this tri-band system has a high bandwidth, high-speed dedicated 5Ghz between the router & the satellites!!! My decision to go with this system inspite of it being ~$100 more than 4-pack, dual-band, AC1200 Google WiFi mesh system, seems to be a good one overall!!!

An excellent system!

After recently purchasing a new router and realizing that I also needed a new Wi-fi range extender, my research led me to consider a mesh system instead. After considering a less expensive brand that had positive reviews I ultimately decided to purchase the Orbi mesh system because it was the only one that was said to maintain the same Wi-fi signal strength at the satellite as at the router itself. That turns out to be true; the signal at the west end of our large and long apartment is just as strong as the signal at the east end, where the router resides. Every device on our home network is performing beautifully, including our previously very inconsistent wireless printer. Setup was easy, and the app interface has been very smooth.
Folks should do their own research, but I can attest to the excellent performance of the Orbi mesh system and I recommend it highly, without reservation.
