NETGEAR - Orbi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (4-pack) - White

I have had issues getting wifi coverage to my many Ring cameras and echo devices for some time. Frontier sold me some mesh extenders that really never made a difference. However now that I bought and set up this Netgear Orbi system, I actually have over 100 internet (both upload and download) through my home..inside and out. This system was easy to install and I feel it is simply a outstanding product to get internet working like it should throughout your home.

Really good connection through out the whole house and very easy to set up. One network connection every where.

I recently got the new Orbi 4 Satellite Dual Mesh Wi-Fi system, and all I can say is wow! Setup - Scan a QR Code download the App and you are literally online in a few minutes! The App is so easy to use this is what I would buy if I were not savvy about home routers and extenders! The only thing I wish is that you didn't have to have a net-gear account to use them. Form - Factor - These look like art! they are so small and unobtrusive they blend in, my house guests don't even know they are wifi units, Some people even thought the were stylish - speakers! Use - I set these up on 2 floors of my McMansion, and one near my outdoor living space. I couldn't believe how strong the signal was. I can go anywhere in my house and patio and get an amazing signal, also I have my WiFi camera's hooked up, they just work! Slight Con: Info Armor doesn't work behind my residential gateway. I feel this is an important feature, however it's not a deal killer, I am not to enthusiastic about the Bit-Defender system anyway, a lot of my accounts with sub-domains were blocked or out-right couldn't connect, I do not recommend installing bit-defender, it's a pain to install on my Mac, and harder to remove. If you want to get a great WiFi system look no further than this bundle, they are ascetically pleasing to look at and small enough to place all over the house! This is the system for you if you love getting online but hate the bulky appearance of most home-WiFi systems. I used a WiFi scanner app to determine my coverage, and I got almost 100% signal everywhere, I don't have one in my garage but I still got a great signal! I received ORBI as part of NETGEAR’s First Look Review Program, and have reviewed other NetGear products and I would have to say this is by far the best one I have reviewed.

Had to get the Orbi app, and it still didn't find the system very easily. It's a good thing I knew how to help find and connect the satellites, but it keeps a good connection. Not as good a range as I expected, but it filled the need for the home.

Setup is easy. Wish it had more ethernet ports and customization options. Often found that devices did not link to the nearest access point for some reason but couldn't figure out how to address that. Provided plenty of coverage but eventually upgraded to a Wifi 6 system to take advantage of my internet speeds.

I have literally tried Wi Fi boosters, extenders, different routers, and nothing seemed to work consistently in our 4,000 square foot house. My wife works from home and she couldn't rely on our current cable modem/router for good or even decent internet connection. It would literally fail on a daily basis. However, since I broke down and spent the money for the new NETGEAR Orbi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (4-pack), we've finally found a product that meets and exceeds our wildest expectations for our internet needs. This system is meant for a home up to 6,000 sq. ft. and works exceptionally well. We have a theater /game area (Wii, PS4, Nintendo & projector) in our bonus room that we can all play, and enjoy worry and interruption free internet all day long!! That was not the case with our old cable/modem. What's really exceptional, is my wife can do her work online and not have to worry about slow downs while my kids and I play or watch online content in the bonus room. Hands down, Mesh Wi-Fi is OUTSTANDING! What an excellent investment! We no longer worry about bogging down the internet, and best of all, my wife is happy!! Excellent product for those readers having intermittent internet issues.

I have a 3 story house (including the basement). Our wifi router is in the basement due to dumb wiring of the house. This system was suggested to me by a Best Buy employee instead of a standard wifi router (which I have had problems with in the past). This system works amazingly! There are no dead spots in our house and we can be in the backyard and get a strong signal. Set-up was easy. I had one satellite that didn't connect at first, but I restated it and it worked perfectly. As you roam through the house the signal drops for a second every once in awhile as the device you are using switches from one satellite to another. I haven't noticed as I'm streaming or working on the internet and moving throughout the house, mostly as a first get onto the internet after the device has been in sleep mode. Glad it has a guest wifi and monitoring capabilities. Very happy with this purchase.

TLDR version: Works great. Bought the set with three satellite modules, but two would also work pretty well. Long-winded version: I purchased this for our 2400 sq. ft. house, where the modem/router is upstairs in a home office and the main tv we stream to is downstairs in a den. Frustrated with a single extender that delivered a decent but sometimes spotty signal, I went with the three-satellite version to make sure there was enough coverage. Honestly, though, the package with two satellites might work as well. The signal is strong all over the house with no interruption in coverage, and even well into a good size backyard. This is where the larger pack will come in handy: We sometimes carry a smart TV outside to stream in the backyard and this provides excellent bandwidth. Setup was fairly easy, but I’m also pretty much an idiot. As a result, installation should be a breeze for you fine people. So if you too have first-world problems such as not having a reliable Wi-Fi signal to binge on your streaming services while hiding from a pandemic, this is the product for you.* *Also probably works well in non-pandemic times. Hoping to be able to test that soon. Take care out there and be cool to everyone.
