Very satisfied and happy.
I am very happy with my purchase. I purchased a Netgear docsis 3.1 modem and Netgear NightHawk X6s router when I upgraded to gigabit internet. I never got the speed I paid for. Had the cable company come check it out. The speed was coming to the modem but wasn’t making it out of the router to my devices. I tried a linksys router but didn’t get me there either. My highest Speedtest results were in the 425-450mbps. I read the reviews for the Orbi and thought I should give it a try. The price almost discouraged me but I took a leap of faith. So happy I did. Setup was easy using the IOS App. Now I consistently get 941mbps with Speedcheck. That’s about what I was promised by Cox. All this time I thought it was their fault (throttling my speed). Turns out it was my routers all along. I apologize to you Cox. I’m not angry anymore. Expensive but in my case, worth it. Hopefully it keeps working for a long time. Thanks to the reviewers who helped me make this purchase decision.

Expensive but fast.
I upgraded from a Google WiFi system with 3 pucks. The google system was always solid and I NEVER had any connection issues, however, I have Fios gigabit service from Verizon and could never get more than 50 down on my 3rd floor (furthest from the router which is on my 1st floor). I understand you’ll never be able to get gigabit speeds through WiFi but that just didn’t sit well with me. The Orbi system now has me getting upwards of 150 down on my 3rd floor and when I’m close to the router station on the first floor the Orbi averages 400-500 or so down. So far I’m happy with this purchase. I’m also now future proof with WiFi 6 albeit my only compatible device is my iPhone 11. Also, setup couldn’t have been easier. I literally disconnected the google system opened up the Orbi app, plugged in the router, scanned the QR code and then connected the satellite upstairs. The whole set-up took 5-7 minutes. I also considered the Eero Pro but this Orbi system was cheaper and has better specs and WiFi 6 which I don’t believe Eero Pro has. Cheers!

Finally after Two Exchanges
I recently moved to a 2,500 sqft home and I have an office, where I work from home out of on the weekdays. The cable modem has a cord ran out of the wall in the living room. So I first purchased the Google Nest Wifi assuming it would be good to have two mesh routers in the house. For coverage it was great but when it got to speed I was just capped at 400 MBPS Download. My ISP had more to offer, so I exchanged it for the pride and true Linksys AX6000. The speeds we're good coming back more in the 600 MBPS area. But my coverage was lacking in the corner of where my office is located on the other side of the house. I unfortunately had to another exchange and I wanted it to be my final one. So I went for the Netgear Orbi AX4200. Now after setting up everything up I was happy with the performance and of course the coverage was phenomenal. I'm pulling 800 MBPS and 900 MBPS download which is overkill in itself but wanted to get as close as a Gig as I could. If your reading this review and your in the same boat. Just purchase these when they go on sale. They typically start at $449 and fluctuate down.

Great system.
I have had the Orbi for several weeks and it has worked fast. Blazing speeds. Went from an Ubiquiti network to this and I must say it is just as reliable but so much more user friendly. I would highly recommend this product.

Netgear Orbi AX 4200 WiFi 6 System
Orbi AX 4200 Router By Jim L. Netgear has hit one out of the park with this system. I replaced my old Spectrum cable router with The Orbi WiFI 6 system what a difference. The new Orbi Router is 4 to 6 times faster than the old Cable router. Speed, Stability and Easy Set UP is what you will get with the NETGEAR system. I highly recommend it. Well worth the cost! Also after turing in my old router my cable bill is now $5.00 a month less. So in time Orbi 4200 will pay for itself.
