Worked where other mesh systems wouldn't
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Vincenzo95001
I bought a competitor's product, similar price point and solid reputation. I gave it time, tried moving the access points, and went through all of their trouble shooting - it just wasn't able to make a good connection in my basement. I bought and set up the AC3000 in the exact same positions (where I wanted them for best coverage), and I have a perfect connection throughout my house. Exceptional product that is very easy to use and well worth the money. My house is a 1920s Tudor and is built with solid stone walls - nothing got through but this.

It Works
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Dain58438
I am a IT Professional for a state university and have held numerous certifications including Network+ and CCNA. I got the Orbi mesh system because when I'm at home the last thing I want to do is tinker with computers and networks. I do it all day. I need my home life to be free of that noise. We have 3 units in the home and it covers all corners, including a bit outside. If you like to tinker and optimize and do fancy nerdy things- this may not be for you. If you want to plug something in and walk away with functional robust coverage - here you go.

Great WiFi router with good coverage!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Sivakumar22115
I bought this router for my new house and I'm completely satisfied with the coverage and easy to setup. Myself and internet company professional tested the coverage with our mobiles around the house and we were getting full strength when we placed the router in center of our house. We are here talking about 3000 sq ft house. Also the setup is very simple via orbi app and it is very user friendly. I would recommend this router since it has great coverage and also easy to install. We can also monitor our internet connection using the app remotely too.

What are you waiting for?

If you are like me, you have been trying to decide if mesh networks are worth the money. In this case yes. The Orbi is super simple to setup and you are running in minutes. My entire home is now covered with strong WIFI from basement office to backyard deck. The router and satellites connect devices to the appropriate band 2.4 / 5 seamlessly. My WIFI bandwidth also increased using Orbi. The Orbi apps is easy to use and provides advanced setup options. I find the default settings,other than password, work fine for me. For me, money well spent.

Orbi RBK50 Works Very Well For Me
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: GailD18632
I upgraded from Sagemcom wifi router rented from my ISP. This router was essentially useless. The Orbi RBK50 gives me a strong fast signal throughout my home. My split level home is aprox. 4400 sq. ft underbeam. My ISP provided speed is about 215 Mbps. My Orbi is providing a strong wifi signal that ranges from 87 - 99 Mbps on the second level and 111 -115 Mbps on the first level. Speed starts dropping off about 30 ft. from satellite.
I am very happy with my Orbi RBK50 as I now have strong wifi throughout my home and my wifi devices actually work.

Great Device
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Marshland14876
I replaced a 4 year old router that was taxed - too many devices connected, large coverage area etc. - with the Orbi. WOW!! It only took 5 minutes tops to set-up and coverage is fantastic! No more buffering and slow connections. Our neighbor just spent a bunch of time placing extenders, etc. in his attic for better coverage. Not here . . . just placed the satellite upstairs with the primary router in our basement and Viola! Again - 5 minutes and no attic experience. Love this device! Coverage area is approx 3500 sq ft and 20+ devices connected.

Tops for Non-Techies
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Lois11058
Love this mesh system! Needed a new router after 5 years. Am tech literate but have no time for complex installations. Installation of the main unit and satellite was quick and easy, and the wifi coverage of my house is superb. Very simple to customize as well. I have three wired ethernet devices attached, plus 5 wireless devices in 3000 foot ranch house. My streaming video services are zippy, and updating the
apps on my iDevices take no time ar all. Anyone from age
9-90 can easily install and enjoy this brilliant router system. I am a true believer.

Daisy Chain for the win!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Jan7187
I love my orbi rbk50, I have recommended them to most of my family members that want better wifi coverage. My home is 3500 sq. Ft, and yes this 3 pack is recommended for a bigger home, but more wifi the better! It supports daisy chain meaning your satellites don't need to be close to your main router like before. Your satellites can talk to each other meaning u can keep on linking your whole neighborhood if you want! Ethernet ports are the best offered on the router or satellite for you un wifi devices. I would not buy another mesh wifi system! Cheers!
