Orbi goes the distance
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: George46374
Got an Orbi RBK50 to use in place of an R7000 Nighthawk. It's an older house with heavier plaster walls. The R7000 is theoretically faster IF you have line-of-sight to it, but in practice the Orbi kit reaches corners on different floors that the other router could not, and at 5 GHz. Notes: Setup via Ethernet is advised - use the app for simple tasks afterward. The Orbi works only with IE as the browser for certain tasks, unlike the R7000, which worked with any browser.

Excellence

This product has truly transformed my home from a dead spot written wifi dropping black hole into a full speed haven. It not only has great coverage but I was skeptical of the wireless communication between the units and boy they never miss a beat no matter how many things are connected (up to 50 at any given time) from cell phones, tablets, steaming devices, game consoles, smart tv's, you name it this unit handles them all with ease. Ned-less to say that I have recommended these to all my family and friends.

Orbi WiFi delivers great coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dale59843
Purchased the Orbi RBK50 system consisting of a base unit and a satellite. Connection was simple and they provide MUCH better coverage in my house than the single router that Xfinity provided. I also like the ability to administer the routers remotely when I'm not at home. Only glitch, and not a tech issue, was the registration of the base unit with Netgear. I purchased a refurb unit and the base serial number seems to already be in use. I registered the satellite unit with no issue and assume it to be sufficient. I'm quite pleased with the Orbi WiFi routers so far.

Oh MY!

I purchased this mesh system due to a rather sprawling layout of my new home. A single WiFi system simply would not cut it and those range extenders cut the speed down drastically - not to mention I'd need several of them. After looking over the reviews of several mesh systems, I decided on the Orbi. I could not be happier. The setup was very quick and very simple. I am so glad I chose this system for my home - especially since I have quite a load on my system with several computers, several Nest cameras and thermostats as well as a security system. The Orbi performs flawlessly.

Solid Internet Connection!
on May 29, 2019

I had been using an Apple Airport Extreme for years until recently. I didn't realize Apple stopped making the Airport Extreme and that made me explore other options. My Airport was outdated with older technology so I needed something newer. I did some extensive research for new wireless routers and I came across Orbi. Kept reading and reading reviews and always returned to Orbi. The size was a turn off but wow!! This net wifi setup has improved my home wifi great. Streaming is solid and the overall speed is solid too. Highly highly recommend Orbi. I wish I would have bought sooner!!

A modern wonder
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jim8323
The cable connection is downstairs. I am upstairs. Through plaster and lathe walls. A previous extender just didn't work. The signal was slow, weak and unreliable. Then I got the Orbi. I connected the router, put the satellite in my room and turned it on. I was still reading the manual when I saw the purplish light. Uh-oh, that wasn't good. Maybe I was too far? I was still reading what to do when the light turned white. I'm connected! So I switched my wifi over to the router, and suddenly, 94 Mbps! And that was the wonder. The entire bandwidth to the house, wirelessly and flawlessly. The way wireless routers should be. MLB.tv has never been better!

Great coverage for larger homes
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Congruous74236
My home is 3600 sqft and I was only getting 50 mb download in my office which is upstairs. I pay for 200 mb because I run my business out of my home. After hours of research and a few trips to Best Buy I purchased the Orbi RBS50, it is EXPENSIVE for a router. I was thinking this is getting returned if I don't see a huge jump in my internet speed. It took all of 10 minutes to get it configured and I was able to consistently get download speeds over 200 mb. Best Investment I have made in the past 5 years. MY office is upstairs on the opposite side of the house from, the router. Do yourself a favor and just go buy one you will not be disappointed. But don't buy the Mini !!!!

Replacing old Comcast home network with Netgear
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: CLS32682
Home owner with older local network. Always had connection problems. We have tired extenders etc. Finally decided to start all over. Went with the Netgear CM500V modem and the RBK-50 router. The hardest part was talking/working with Comcast to take my old modem off and recognize the new modem. I tried to do it manually per the instructions but it did not finish completely. Had to call Comcast. After they finally fixed their side I set up the RBK50 router. It automatically set up in a flash. No problems, no phone calls. Good instruction. It worked just like it was suppose to. I was so excited after spending several hours with Comcast. The range is very good and strong. No problems connecting, no dropped signals, speed test has more than doubled.
