I am so pleased with my Orbi whole home wifi system. It has made working from home a great experience. The installation from the Greek Squad was a pleasant experience as well--very knowledgeable gentleman

i was using the NETGEAR PowerLINE Wi-Fi 1000 to solve my low WiFi reception on the second floor of my townhouse, it did the trick but when i used multiple devices at once my internet speed would drop. Thankfully NETGEAR has done it again. The answer was the new Orbi Whole Home AC2200Tri-band system. Its a two device system just like my old system. Included is the Base, Satellite, power supply and 1 Ethernet cable. Setup was fairly easy. 1. connect the base to power and your router. 2. plug your satellite where you have low wifi reception.(in my case it was upstairs) 3. power up the base and tap the sync button on both the base and satellite. 4. on your device settings go to WiFi and select Orbi## and enter preset password located around your base. 5. finally click on your browser, you will automatically be redirected to Netgear Setup.( i believe it was 4 easy steps) that's it. I've been using Orbi for about a week now and i got to say, i am very impressed. i attached a screenshot of my speed using 5 devices at the same time(wow!!!, 108.2 Mbps on WiFi with 5 devices, two on Netflix) The Orbi system is a little on the expensive side but in my opinion its worth every penny. The only thing i would change is just a cosmetic issue. Its too oblong lol, maybe a cylindrical design would be better. One more thing i forgot to mention is that they have other Orbi units for bigger homes. so don't worry, they literally have you covered. Thank you Netgear for the Free Orbi AC2200(RBK30). this is a great way to test your product for your consumers.

Before Orbi, I used my Verizon FIOS quantum router. While the quantum router is nice, it would often lose connection or have slow speeds on my third floor. This new router fixed that. It has nice aesthetics, easy setup, a couple of powerful features, and overall just worked. Setup Setup was straight forward. I turned off Wi-Fi on my FiOS modem, downloaded the Orbi app, plugged in Orbi, and then the satellite. I decided to use the same SSID for everything I have connected. My devices connected to Orbi without issue. A firmware update lost that connection for a few minutes, but after Orbi was up, pressing the sync buttons fixed the satellite connection. I did not see many special features, but I did see some higher end router features. VPN access is available, Mu-mimo, etc. Performance I’ve used similarly priced routers from Linksys and Netgear and I would say Orbi is my favorite for one reason, range. I am now able to get a great connection throughout my entire house and can get similar connection speeds on ethernet and Wi-Fi (50up-50down). Being familiar with repeaters in the past, they are normally bottlenecks to the network. I really like how Orbi has a dedicated 5 ghz band for communication so it has little effect on the other 2.4 and 5 ghz networks. Overall I would recommend the Orbi system. It exceeded my expectations with range and speed. The price is worth it when you compare it to other routers in this category, e.g., many users and streaming. I received Orbi for free from Netgear for an honest review.
