Orbi Wireless Review
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: biozal34683
The orbi wireless unit I purchased is amazing. I replaced an Airport Extreme and Airport Express setup and the mesh network stuff is awesome. I have a 2800 sq ft house and two units more than covers everything. On an iPhone I can consistently get over 400 Mbps on Speed Tests through my ISP (Ethernet I'm getting around 900 Mbps). The only negative I would say is the web page to do advanced things is rather clunky and the mobile app doesn't allow you to configure everything (if you are an advanced user you will need to use the web page administration page).

Incredible Speed!!!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Stacy42188
I was amazed at the difference this made. My speeds were running anywhere from 90 to 138, depending on where I was in my home. Even with two extenders placed. Now, not only do I have the wifi speed I've been paying for...its consistent throughout my home. My speeds are now running 436 (I have the 400 speed package) my house is 2200 square feet with an upstairs loft. I even have coverage outside at my pool. I'm amazed at the difference. No more freezing movies when streaming on any tv in my home. I can't say enough this product. Worth every penny!!!

Excellent option for split level coverage!

I previously used an enterprise access point in our two story town home and it just was not cutting it. I would get coverage drops and performance degradation in the outer second story rooms. Not wanting to run any new cables, I decided to explore mesh options. The two unit Orbi system has been a game changer. I get the full bandwidth of my ISP service everywhere in my house. My kids' streaming music no longer drops off in the middle of the night, and I no longer have to switch to LTE to browse social media in bed. Easy setup and excellent performance!

Does Everything I Asked Of It
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: ChrisCicc52365
I bought this to wirelessly connect my home server, which had previously had a direct ethernet connection, to my wired home network from one floor below. I don't simply use this as a wireless system for all my wireless devices, but also as a backhaul for that server to the larger network. While I was concerned with its ability to connect down one floor and laterally over one room, it has done so without issues. I am able to use my home server for all the things I was before the move to wireless, and that's really a testament to how powerful the Orbi system is.

Love the setup
on May 29, 2019

Before I was having issues with my old router reaching every corner of my house. The house is about 3200 feet and three stories. The base router alone was able to cover the whole home, but when I added the satellite to the basement the connection improved ten fold. I really like how both the satellite and the base router have gig ports on them to hardwire in things like my desktop or game consoles for a more reliable connection, albeit still wireless if using the satellite. Now my connection covers not only the house but the yard as well. Definitely recommend.

Most amazing mesh wifi
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Justin1942429
We purchased the Orbi WiFi because we had 0 signal on the other side of our house. In our bedroom we only got 2-5 Mbps prior to Orbi. After installing the Orbi mesh WiFi, I get a consistent full WiFi signal all throughout the house and I am able to get 180 Mbps where I couldn't even get a signal before. This was the best purchase we have made for our house. It greatly surpassed any expectations that I had for the system. My only trouble was with the set in the app. You can also set it up through your browser which worked flawlessly. Highly, highly recommend.

Best router system out there!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Mike18657
I had very spotty WiFi throughout my house with three routers in various locations. I was spectical on the Orbi due to not having moveable antennas but thought to give it a try and man I am glad I did! I have perfect WiFi everywhere in my house! Also to note consistent download and upload speeds regardless of where I am checking it. Install took me less than 30 min of which majority of it was dressing my wires to other devices which used LAN cables. I did follow the app/ web based instructions. Well worth the $$ and plan to tell my friends and family about it!

Solved our problems!
on May 29, 2019
Posted by: Kam11420
Our community is a gigabyte city, touting rankings as the fastest internet service in the country. Everywhere but in our home.
After a year of trying other brand routers and computers a tech finally suggested this one. We have a unit upstairs and downstairs, as well as one where the service enters the house. It has been a night and day difference. Although we don't have a big house, we have lathe and plaster walls, which apparently won't work with a traditional router. Great product that is well worth the investment. A plus is Circle to monitor our devices.
