Absolutely Perfect
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: tbwiggers17587
I have a large house, two story, and have tried 7 different routers, range extenders, and power line WiFi to try and provide WiFi to my 27 connected devices. Setup took me less than 15 minutes, All of my devices connected without incident as well. I now have ONE network SSID, switching from 2.5-5 GHz as needed, and for the first time, NO dead spots in my house at all. This system is brilliant and bulletproof. I will be able to stay with this router for a long time. Do yourself a favor: don't look around any longer....buy this one.

Fantastic Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Kim16426
We struggled for years with coverage to the corners of the house. With a large family of eight and a home office, strong connectivity throughout the house is an absolute must. Bouncing between 2 different network names with the old extender was problematic. I wish we'd have bought the Orbi mesh network sooner. It provides wide coverage to all corners of the house, strong signals, and a single network name. We also like that we can buy an add-on outdoor satellite if needed when the weather is warmer and we spend more time in our backyard.

Orbi Wifi System works great
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Patty22009
We live in a split level house which includes a double brick wall at one end of the house and chimney in the middle of the house. I purchased the Orbi Wifi System that includes the router plus one satellite. The system was easy to set up and I was up and running in no time at all. As a result, I have no connection issues anywhere in the house. The wifi signal reaches to my Ring floodlight at the other end of our garage and I can sit outside on the porch and pergola area with no connection issues. I am very satisfied with this system.

Good router - Great Coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: ADamania43791
I have Xfinity Extreme plan with 400MB down and 12 MB up. Before Orbi, I had Apple Extreme with 2 Apple Express and I would never get more than 50MB. Orbi was super easy to setup and now I get 200MB+ at the same spot. I did compare it with Linksys Velop and one winning factor for me was the extra Ethernet ports that Orbi offers over Linksys.
My only complain, Circle app or Netgear Genie are painful to setup for parental control. Also, I have not been able to connect it with Alexa. I am planning to reboot the router to see if it helps.

Better coverage than router + Range Extender
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jmott78498
We have low bandwidth in Easter Washington. I bought this system to hopefully maximize the upload and download we get at our site throughout the whole house. I took speed test measurements from several different locations within our home with my previous setup d-link N router w/ net gear n extender and then set up the Orbi Mesh and ran the tests again. It was about a 30 % increase in delivery efficiency based on my semi-scientific test. Setup was fun/painless, and I would strongly recommend to anyone with a larger footprint home. -Josh

Orbi Review
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Your16378
I originally bought the Nighthawk. Due to the fact that I was having some issues covering my entire house, 2 story 3700 sf. I traded in the Nighthawk in for the Orbi. Installation and setup was a breeze. So easy in fact, my 10 year old set it up under my supervision. I now have complete coverage of my home including most of my back yard and pool area. Here are a list of devices I have running through it. 3 smart tv's, 3 iPhones, 2 iPad, 1 desktop, 1 laptop, 2 PS4, and 1 Xbox. 100mb connection through Spectrum. No fiber in my area just yet.

Greatly Improved wifi coverage
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: DJ26847
I'm living in a 4-bedroom, 2-story house. Our modem and router are located in one of the corner rooms upstairs. With just the previous wifi router, the upstairs coverage was fine, but the family room downstairs was spotty at best, and would disconnect frequently. We tried a powerline adapter which helped coverage slightly, but with drastically slower speeds. Switching to the Netgear Orbi system (main device by the modem and 1 satellite downstairs) has widened coverage to all corners of the house with no significant decline in internet speed.

Simple,Works, and very Fast!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Stephen24632
I wanted to get this router because first off the reviews are great, but second off the satellite feature is well needed for a house with a gaming room 125ft away from the router in the living room. Further more the set up is very simple, simpler than I could ever imagion, it almost makes you feel good about yourself knowing you set up everything on your own. The simplicity and the overall speed of the router makes this router the best one I've ever seen and used would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fast, reliable, simple router!
