Works great for me!

I found the Orbi Mesh system easy to set up (even with Alexa steering me wrong on which app I needed) and use. Being able to scan in the router information with my phone was a nice plus, and after setting up the router and my Orbi account, plugging the router into my modem and power outlet, and plugging in the satellite unit, all the wi-fi dead zones in my old house disappeared. When setting up Alexa, the Alexa app said I needed to download the Nighthawk app for setup, but this was incorrect; the Orbi Netgear app was needed. This app crashed about halfway through the setup and I was had to delete and reload it to get it to work, but after that, Alexa worked perfectly (in fact, noticeably better than on the first-gen Echo and Echo Spot in nearby rooms). The speaker's sound quality is surprisingly good for a small, stand-alone speaker. I would recommend this system to anyone looking for an easy to set up, reliable mesh wi-fi router, and all the more so if you'd like to incorporate Alexa.

Orbi network reaches fast and far
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: DogWalker97507
As my home network expanded over time my current router could no longer handle the speed or distance required to keep it all running smooth. My network consists of 4 WiFi cameras, 1 thermostat, two fans, WiFi speaker, network receiver, two I-phones, two roku smart TVs, laptop, 2 desktop PCs, and a smart ac switch. The Orbi rb50 system handles it all with no issues. I was able to switch over to this new router in about 1 hour for 80% of the devices, only a few components required some additional configuration. The iPhone Orbi app is very simple and will get you up and running in no time, but when you need more advanced options such as port forwarding then use the Orbi web interface which has all the settings required. The best feature is that I no longer have any dead spots in the house or immediate yard. The router includes a satellite which resides on the second floor which increases the coverage significantly. Very impressed overall with the Orbi's design and functionality.

Orbi AC3000 (RBK50)
on May 29, 2019

I have tried several WiFi 'extender' devices over the years. Even ones provided by Cable companies themselves. Nothing came even close to the Orbi AC3000. It's amazing!!! Takes 2 minutes to hook up and literally I now have a WiFi connection in a dead spot where I couldn't get any signal, to now downloading speeds of around 460mb/s!! Even the satellites which I only needed one which came with the main system are just plug and play. Plug it into your wall outlet and that's it. You now have internet access just as strong as if guy were standing in front of your main router. Another bonus is each satellite also has 4 gigabit Ethernet connections on each one in case you want wired connections in some rooms of your house, perfect to hook the kids video games Systems too so not everything is wireless. I can't recommend this product anymore then just tell everyone they have to get it. I already have a friend and a family member trying them out. Do yourself a favor, get this product.
