Great router

The router works great. You don’t have to plug in an Ethernet chord. It’s all off satellite.

Very disappointed faulty designed product
on January 22, 2021
Posted by: cgigate
From the paper specs, it looks very attractive. The reality is completely different. Purchased the product for my some remote properties to replace MR1100, but eventually I had to replace LBR20 out. Orbi LBR20 is using a separate (like an external modem in the same box) LTE module QUECTEL EG18-NA as modem. The LTE modem NATs to router, router NATs to user, double NATing cause lot problems for me... The Netgear built-in feature "Remote Management" fails because double NATing, Netgear DDNS update with the LTE modem WAN IP address as a 192.x.x.x. , it makes make Netgear built-in DDNS feature gets wrong IP on LTE internet, you cannot remote access via DDNS. Not mention the Orbi LBR20 is huge in size and very heavy (Orbi LBR20 is 885g vs. 226g MR1100 with battery). the speed is very similar, actually slight lower than the MR1100, even it is a cat 18 vs. cat 16 on MR1100. MR1100 is portable (with battery) can carry around, Orbi LBR20 cannot go anywhere. LBR20's reception is ok; it also has two external LTE antenna connectors available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Most advanced 4g router on the market
on February 9, 2022
Posted by: Erik W.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Orbi 4g router for almost a year now and have to say that I love it, the security is amazing. The functionality is incredibly user friendly and the best part is I can take it anywhere in my bag with my laptop and have 4g high speed internet anywhere I go. The user interface is very easy to manage and understand. I would recommend this 4g router over every other on the market based on my knowledge of most of the others out there solely because of how secure it actually is, and it’s useability user friendliness. I have been repairing electronics for about 20 years now and I highly recommend this router to anyone who wants the ability to have high speed internet where you might otherwise not be able to get it, or simply because you travel and this can be used in a vehicle quite easily with only an inverter. I use this product daily and for streaming music nonstop as well as using it for movies and tv occasionally. Highly recommend product.

Answer to our prayers?

We live in a rural area with aged infrastructure and no access to cable data solutions. Been limping along with an expense provider that starts with an “H” until we discovered Orbi. We’ve used other hotspot devices before so we were skeptical but so far it has worked nearly flawlessly (at times it requires resetting but its quick). Only using it now for evening tv watching and based on our usage the 100 gb AT

Perfect router for rural life!
on October 27, 2020
Posted by: Kala
This router has been working wonderfully! We live in the country and do not have line cable for internet. This router allows us to have our kids be able to be in school virtually, along with having some luxuries around the house like Alexa devices and tv streaming. Our home is 3100 sq feet and we are able to reach almost the entire house with this router even upstairs. This is the perfect router for rural life. Only con I could say is that it is a little pricey but well worth it. Directions and set up are also clear and easy. Five stars ⭐️

Superior Router!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of the Orbi 4G LTE Advanced Tri-band Router (LBR20) in exchange for my honest review. This router comes with a sim card so you can purchase a data plan, or you can use the sim card from your phone and use the plan from your cell provider. There are also 2 ethernet ports. The router was extremely easy to set up and I am not the most tech savvy person. The internet speed is far superior to every router we have ever used. We have kids and multiple devices going at the same time with no lagging, glitches, or downtime. I really appreciate the ability to set parental controls, bed times and use my Alexa feature for the smart devices in my home. The stated coverage is approx 2000 sq feet and I feel that is an accurate coverage area. This is perfect for the size of our home, because, we can go anywhere in the house and never lose connection. We live in a more rural area and oftentimes lose connection if there is inclement weather, so, now I don't have that worry. I love the sleek design because it doesn't detract from my decor.I feel it would blend seamlessly into any area of your home or business. If you want superior internet speed this Orbi 4G LTE is a must have!
