Awesome speed improvement, tough setup

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a 4000 sqft two story house. My family has complained about the poor wi-fi they get in their rooms, inconsistent signal, gaps, etc. I considered the Eero and then saw the Orbi. Reading the reviews and product description, I thought I'd try it, and if didn't solve my problem, I'd return it within the return window.
Followed setup instructions, didn't work. Hunted around and found the NetGear phone support number and got a rep that knew her stuff and walked me through the setup: 1) downloaded firmware updates, firm to the router, then to the satellite 2) used Orbilogin to see what was connected and what was updated 3) tested the setup for speed and connection. Took about an hour. The NetGear rep should get a bonus! She was one of the best support reps I've ever dealt with.
I have Sprectrum/TWC as my provider, and signed up for the 300 mbps service. Now getting 250 Mbps on my desktop, up from 60-90 Mbps. In the places where I got no to low signal, now getting 100-160 Mbps. My family is happy. I'm happy. This product rocks!
The setup pain was well worth it.

So if it comes with two, I'm assuming you have one that internet is linked to by cable and the other is used as a extender? Or do you have to have both units hooked to cable?
The package comes with 2 units: 1 main router unit and 1 satellite unit (the "extender"). The router is connected to your cable modem via a standard ethernet wire. The satellite connects wirelessly to the router. Both units have a power adapter to connect to a power outiet.
