Worth the $$$
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Ken73039
My house is a multi-level 1800 s.f. home with a fairly small footprint considering the size. Because of where my cable modem is I have always had difficulties with getting internet to my living room and the electronics there (smart tv, streaming device, game systems, wifi for cell phones). I have tried several methods of extending my network including powerline adapters and wifi extenders without much luck. The main problem is that the wall between the living room and rest of the house has a fireplace and is made of brink. I decided to take a chance on the Orbi system and I am glad I did. I initially placed the satellite half way between my base and the living room and was happy with the results. On a whim I moved the satellite into the living room and was surprised to find that I was getting good signal strength in that location so I left it there. Now my internet speed in the living room is sufficient to stream UHD movies with minimal buffering.

Incredible connection for 3 story house
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Rg71317
I was very cautious with what system I wanted to go with for a 3 story townhome (2200 square ft). I needed full coverage from one end to the other as well as the bottom floor (partially underground) to the top floor with a deck. I did not want to deal with extenders. This system has one of the best rated ranges with one of the highest throughputs. Going from one part of the house to the other, the internet was seamless and smooth when walking with a laptop doing Skype video. I have tight spaces with tons of wood, concrete layers and stucco on the outside walls. No issues with any of the multiple systems that rely on the internet. Product looks nice as well. I have one sitting next to my Alexa on the kitchen peninsula. It might be a tad more expensive, but for the reliable signal, range and strength that are all at the highest rankings and reviews for the tech geek sites, this was the best purchase and wait for a system like this.

Wi-Fi Royalty
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Anonymous
Never was able to completely cover any house we've lived in with good Wi-Fi signal. I had been thinking of getting Google Wi-Fi, decided to read multiple reviews & comparisons. After going thru the specs for ORBI and realizing that it has high end router settings/options and reading good reviews on wifi performance went down to local electronics store and picked up a set. Oh was I in for a great surprise... setup was a breeze, I estimate less than 25 minute from unboxing to having router and satellite up and running. I had tested Wi-Fi coverage with original isp router, had couple of dead zones and multiple very low signal areas. After installing ORBI (R/S) I was not able to find any dead spots or low signal areas. House is +2700 sqft. Even 3 car garage has great coverage. Now after 2 weeks started tweaking settings, prioritizing bandwidth and adding the Disney control to limit kids online time & content. Awesome product, great coverage and features.

Works perfect
on May 29, 2019

I must say, this is an amazing product. I have a 100MBPS internet, and if I do a network test at any time of the day, it gives me more than 100 MBPS speed. The range is exceptional. It covers my house at 4,000 ft area. Wifi setup was a breeze. It only took about 10 minutes to install. And going through other advanced features through the portal took about 20 more minutes. I was amazed to see all the features it offers (VPN, DNS Access, Guest Access, etc.). The design is plain and simple which makes it easy to place it in plain eyesight. Android/iOS apps have a clean interface and easy to navigate through. The app comes circle with Disney feature where you can restrict access to other devices and monitor the websites accesses. Also limiting usage which I think is very amazing. I really wished it supported USB 3.0 which can be done via software update from Netgear. Ample gigabit ports available on router and satellite. Its the best product money can buy.

Pretty perfect
on May 29, 2019

I bought this new router because my Philips Hue lights weren't working as well at the far end of my townhome. My previous router often failed me when I needed the speed to watch video and it would oftentimes drop off when I was at the border of my home. This router succeeds in all of the places where my previous router failed! I now have coverage all throughout my house and it is some of the zippiest internet I have ever experienced! When I'm browsing the internet on my phone there is zero hesitation! My philips hue bulbs are responsive in my entire home now, and when I am on my back deck I still have full coverage wifi! If you were suffering from lack of wifi because your home was just slightly too large, this system is perfect for you! It offers coverage over a greater distance than I received from any previous router, and the app based configuration was simple to use and quick to set up, simply scanning QR codes to get started! Highly recommended!

This has made the Internet usable again
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: ElementFriday51573
My previous modem/router setups always resulted in weird connectivity issues, slow speeds and constantly resetting wifi on my devices.
Installing the Orbi has resolved those issues. We now have a fantastic, fast signal all through the house and in our yard. I like being able to monitor all of the devices connected to the network and I like that the satellite provides additional ethernet connections, allowing me to place smart home hubs closer to the devices they service.
One note about the Orbi is that set-up isn't quite as easy as I'd hoped. The instructions seem to miss a step or place a step out of order, which led to me redoing the set-up. For the first week after setting everything up, the app kept wanting me to re-set-up everything, which was impossible because I'd already renamed my network. Once I figured out the correct sequence of steps, I was able to easily set up the router, satellite and get my network up and running.
Overall great product!

RBK50 rocks
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: mjyatl777530
I've only been using my rbk50 for 3 days. However, I have to say that I'm extremely impressed with performance which was the single most important factor to me. I consider myself to be an advanced user and the installation/configuration is a bit confusing. I have an AT&T Uverse Residential Gateway. There was nothing in the quick start guide that covered configuration as an access point. So, I downloaded the user manual which contained the AP config scenario. Lastly, I found it strange that the QoS features were disabled by default. I don't know whether this is because I reconfigured the device as an AP or if the manual is wrong about these features being enabled by default. Without this feature enabled, I was not really seeing a true mesh network where I could wander between different areas in my house and seamlessly join the main AP or the satellite. However, once I enabled the QoS features I was able to join both seamlessly by wandering around my house.

Best WiFi Solution for Homes
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Ivan25312
I Have purchased this product twice one for my parent's house and one for my home. The WiFi coverage is amazing as it covers my whole house and including my yard. There is no need to run Ethernet wires around the house in order to provide internet to the Orbi device as this does not require an Ethernet link to every Orbi device.
There are three bands one for 2.4, 5ghz and its own dedicated line to speak to the other Orbi devices. You have the router which is the brain and the Satellite devices that extend the wireless and also provide you ethernet inputs to use to directly connected the Satellite device and also on the main Router oOrbi device.
Hands down the best device home Wifi Solution. There is no Lag, no buffering, and the wireless is flawless compared to the crappy WiFi device my ISP has added.
I recommended this product for homeowners who have no ethernet run in the house and need to provide full coverage of their house. You will not be disappointed
