So so mesh....HORRIBE wifi coverage.
on March 10, 2026
Posted by: Guitarick
I was running an older Orbi RBR850 system with one satellite and it covered my house pretty well, but was a bit weak in the basement. As I have a wired house I purchased the 3 pack of the Orbi 370 system for a dedicated node in the basement. Hooked everything up (with wired backhaul) and all seemed pretty good until I noticed wifi signal strength and speed. At only a few feet away I've already dropped 50% of my max throughput. Also, my bedroom which is about 40 feet of open house away from the router has no signal....zero...nada...zip. With my older RBR850 system I had a solid signal in the bedroom. Unless you can use wired backhaul and be VERY VERY close to router/satellites stay away from this system. The wifi power and distance drop off makes it unusable. I will be returning it and going to a different vendor...probably TP-Link
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

ORBI Rocks!

I was using my provider’s modem and couldn’t stay connected. No AppleTV.
With ORBI my Ring doorbell works for the first time. AppleTV is fast and clear. Much better in all aspects!

This mesh router eliminates the dead Wifi spots in my house. It is also faster than the NightHawk router that it replaced. I have had it for a few weeks and so far so good.
I would recommend this to a friend!

3 sepatate networks, one for personal/family use, one for 2.4 devices, and one for guests that can have separate passwords
Wold prefer the extenders be mounted to electrical outlet - plug in cord to desk top unit. Works great with good coverage.
