Final a router that gives you whole house wifi coverage with great speed and connectivity. Easy setup and a great app that provides information about the router and satellites.
Was disappointed with it wish I would have went a step up. They lose over half their speed. distance is about 25 feet apart. Would I buy this again NO.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Had to upgrade my old Orbi which I wasn’t happy with

Orbi is a great product I do wish that the upgrade wasn’t needed.. I don’t have a lot of money so to buy a new system was sucky.. the set up was ok it was easy but of course I ran into a few issues.. but I am up and running now. I do like the Orbi itself as a system
Nice simple setup. This is replacing an Orbi RBR50. I ordered with one satellite. This is a dual channel system and to avoid using one of the channels for the satellite connection I ran an Ethernet cable from the main router to the satellite. This has worked out well and has increased the speed of my WiFi network. If you can’t run an Ethernet cable between the routers I suggest getting a tri-band system like the Orbi 770.
