Not bad

This is a decent soundbar, the bass is not bad however don't expect your walls rattling, mids and highs are very good, at the end I decided to return it and get the LG SH7B, it's a 4.1 system which I coupled with two LG Wi-Fi speakers to create an amazing surround sound system.

Amazing soundbar

After trying several other soundbars I decided that this baby was a keeper, I love the sound it produces, it's simply cristal clear, you can hear every single beat and sound effect, it's almost magical!
All sound details that I used miss in movies and music before can be heard loud and clear now.
It works nicely with my Samsung TV, Hopefully it will also work good with my future LG TV as well, because that's what I'm getting next.

This is a very switch, you can either proudly show it up because it is nice looking or hide it anywhere behind the furniture because it's not too big, it offers great speed and connectivity.

This is a great router, it has all of the advanced features you would expect from a product on this category, it also allows you to load open source firmware which is a plus for any geek out there.

Its 4 powerful antennas makes it possible to obtain fast connectivity in most modern homes.

It'll be Before and After Orbi - Best Mesh/Wi-Fi
on December 27, 2016
Posted by: EL305
Verified Purchase:Yes
This product has restored my faith in Netgear and made me come back, I have been purchasing, configuring and using Routers since the early 90s I have also experimented with range extenders and routers in bridge mode etc through the years, trust me nothing has ever compared to Orbi when it comes to speed and range.
It is truly amazing how I get full bars and almost no signal degradation whatsoever in every single room in the house and even outside, the dedicated 5GHz channel that the satellite device uses to communicate with the Orbi router is actually making the big difference here in my opinion, something that ONLY the Orbi has at the time of this review.
The first thing you’ll notice when you are getting it setup is how simple it is for the average consumer to get this up and running, basically the system is pre-paired from the factory, the user basically only needs to name their Wi-Fi network and optionally register the product and that’s about it, you’ll be enjoying super-fast Wi-Fi throughout your entire house in no time.
The software has been rock solid and stable so far, configuration has all the features that an advanced user would need such as Guest Network, Port Forwarding, Static routers/ IPs etc, it’s all in there with the exception of true QoS (Because there’s some basic sort of version of it included) and being able to name your 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands independently but I’m sure this will also be included in future firmware versions.
The system is not without some minor issues though, I ran into a small problem when initially upgrading the software where it could not auto-update on its own, people who purchase this in the near future will not run into this problem as newer units will for sure come with more up to date/improved firmware, early adopters who get it now though (and I recommend you to do so) can just manually update the firmware by downloading it from the Netgear support site then going into the Orbi’s web interface and upgrade it manually.
I also wish Netgear would improve their Mobile Apps, the current Android version of the app as of today 12/27/16 (This might not be the case a few months after I write this) is basically only good for setting up the Orbi for the first time, besides that it's virtually useless, also the Netgear Genie app for the PC is so dated, it really needs a facelift and I was disturbed to see that it has not changed GUI wise since the last time I had tried it like 5 years ago, after installing it I immediately removed it, it is really not good at all.
Before having this up and running I was afraid I would need to purchase a second satellite because of the size of my home, no need at all, in fact I was able to get rid of two range extenders while still having full bars/speed in my entire house with just the main unit and the one included satellite that came included with the package, awesomeness!
My home is totally made out of bricks and this is the first system that gives me consistent 90/MBps down 12MBps Up ALL the way from the front of the house to the backyard, I'm talking Internet speeds (which is more than what I pay Comcast for) the actual transfer speeds between devices is much more greater than that, I tell you try Orbi if you haven't yet and see for yourself, if you don't like it you can always return it, nothing to lose.

This newest revision of the Roku2 is much better and faster than the original one, I have them both and this one is much faster, specially when loading heavy channels such as the YouTube one, it definitely has a faster processor and more memory, of course not as fast as the Roku3, but this plays very nicely and you would rarely encounter lag, I would recommend.

I have purchased 3 of these for my parents, they use them when they go to church and they both love them, the tablet is fast and it has a pretty recent version of Android, all software glitches mentioned by previous reviewers seem to have been fixed now.

If you still have to have Internet service what do I need this thing for I already have a router
If you get this, then you get rid of your router and use this instead which will give you greater speed/range around your house, if you have a Modem/Router convo from you ISP then you go into your Modem/router web interface and disable the Wi-Fi part of it (This is NOT required but recommended) then you will start to connect all your devices to your new Orbi Wi-Fi network in your home that you have created with the Orbi device.

How does it do through concrete floor? And are the satellites hard wired?
My home is totally made out of bricks, go check out my review, I get full bars/speed around my whole property, amazing how Netgear has managed to do this, whatever they do is the right way to do Mesh and this has been the best Wi-Fi I have ever had on this house, I get almost identical speed via Wi-Fi that I get via LAN, the Wireless signal is virtually the same speed I get when connected directly to the router.

I am torn between the Orbi and the Luma systems. The Orbi seems to have the performance edge, however the Luma seems to have a better app interface - specifically parental controls. We have two pre-teens, and this feature is important. Thoughts?
I can't tell you much about the parental controls, only that I'm sure this will improve as newer firmware updates will be introduced with improved features, but when it comes to performance, range and speed, Orbi beats them all! perhaps you can look into an alternate solution for parental controls until the Orbi improves on that field? you could for instance use something like OpenDNS in the Orbi Router instead of the dynamic ones from your ISP? go to www.opendns.com sign up for an account and use their parental controls features instead?
