Customer Reviews for NETGEAR - Orbi 870 Series BE21000 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 7 Satellite - White

Nice looking devices and have good reach. Unfortunately the internet disconnects a little more often than the older version I had. I also heats up a little than the previous model. Also support is from overseas which is not at the same level we were used to from the USA
I would recommend this to a friend!

Connection is worst than other mesh routers that are cheaper. Bought this as a replacement for an existing orbi as I was happy with previous. However when I plugged this download speeds do not increase significantly. Then I bought TP link (and only 11000 BE) and that gave me higher download speeds. TP link is half the price with better speeds and software features. Very disappointed specially being an existing customer

The Orbi app is very poor. You can't use it to configure port forwarding or other advanced network settings. Also, the Orbi 870 offers very limited configurations for the SSIDs; you can't even configure a SSID to exclusively use the 6GHz band. Finally, unless I've missed it, you can't assign a client to always connect to a particular access point (the router or a satellite).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Spent a fortune on this and turns out, my signal stregth was "medium" when I am standing 20 feet away. Prior to changing, my strength was "strong"

On the plus side WiFi7 is faster.
On the minus side, the backhaul range is inferior to the older Orbi this one replaced. I put the router and satelite in the SAME location as the previous set-up. The Satellite reported a poor connection to the router.
