Not as good as Best Buy claims....
on August 7, 2017
Posted by: Megs
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this 3 piece system (6,500 sq ft of coverage) for my 4312 sq fr home. With the hefty price tag, I expected this to be comparable to a commercial grade wifi system (and was told it would be). It's been hit and miss since I've had it.
I paid about $100 for geek squad to come set it up, not realizing it was only a matter of plugging in the three different units and hitting the sync button (total waste of money!!)
Our televisions in every room seem to work perfectly fine the Internet connection is flawless but when it comes to devices like iPhones laptop and tablet it is very spotty and hit or miss depending on which room you're in ...... which should not matter since coverage claim to be 6500 ft.²
Every time I consult with Best Buy or Barbie regarding the issues of disconnecting or not connecting at all or the satellite completely blanking out I am told something different like it could be copper pipes in my home affecting the signal (no copper in my new home), or other larger electronics that are interfering? My household is a family of six everyone has a phone And either a television gaming system or laptop (don't even have a PC set up).
And now I'm being told the problems will go away if I purchase the extender orbi's..... why do I need extenders if I have enough coverage for 6500 ft.² and my house is only 4300 ft.² ?
What I recommend this system? no I would not especially not at this price.
