NETGEAR - Orbi AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-pack) - White

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

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.

i'm so happy with this product. the set up was very easy, i was able to set up completely thru their user friendly netgear orbi app but also had the option to log in to my router via computer to edit the advanced settings. the orbi app shows all the devices connected to my network and if my satellites and router is online. i live in a 3 story 1751 sq ft house and decided to place the router on the 2nd floor, and my satellite on the 1st floor which gives me coverage when i'm in the garage, and front and back yard. the satellite on the 1st floor also connects very well to my Ring doorbell without any disconnections or lag. it's awesome! i get a consistent speed throughout my house and even on the 3rd floor my router is powerful enough to give me the same download and upload speeds of approximately 116 DL and 12 UL. with all my smart devices including Arlo cameras, PS4, smart TVs, iphones, philips hue lights, multiple computers and laptops, i have around 12 devices connected at a time with no issues whatsoever! it's astounding. i also love the new design that is very sleek and modern which goes well with the white/grey of my contemporary style house. i received this product for free for my unbiased review and i am so happy that it's functions just perfectly for a 3 story home. i believe this type of mesh wifi network is the future for all routers! would highly recommend to friends and family.

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.

I am somewhat knowledgeable with technology and I found the setup for this item to be easier than most "standard" routers, the guide made it as easy as plugging a device and downloading an App. My biggest question going in was how much space this kit would cover. I have a three level (basement + two floors) home, with approximately 1200 squarefeet on each. This kit covers my whole home with no deadspots and extends to a large portion of my lawn; devices also maintain a higher speed then with my previous setup. I can't compare this to other "whole home" systems, but I would definitely recommend this system (and buy it again).

super easy to set up and amazing performance. Noticed an upgrade in my network performance and stability immediately after setting up. I haven't tested the limits of the coverage yet, but I got full coverage on both levels of my 3000sqft home, including outside porch areas. This product is worth the price

I purchased it after reading lot of reviews and trying different routers. It was easy to set up. Took me about 30-45 min to set everything up. Netgear support was helpful. I got max 120mbps throughout the house, no dead zones. The only other mesh system that performed better than this was the Ubiquiti. I like Orbi better because I got a deal at $150. Ubiquiti is twice that. Also, Orbi didnot handle network traffic at night very well. Speeds were slow at night when houses around me were hogging the channels. I would recommend Orbi only if you get it a great price.

After trying many wi-fi routers and gadgets to no avail,I can finally get a signal from the router in the bedroom(immovable) to my kitchen. I live in an apartment which used to be the basement of a circa 1800's house. The apartment is L-shaped with the kitchen and bedroom at opposite ends of the L. As we all know wi-fi signals only travel in straight lines,so the signal had to first go through an interior wall with metal studs,then exit through the original 1800's stone foundation(who knows what they used for support with the stones back then possibly metal lathe like in the old horsehair and plaster walls?) across an exterior space of about 25 feet then re-enter the stone foundation,and finally through another metal stud interior wall. These obstacles were a signal killer! Now with the main Orbi router in the bedroom and the satellite "IN" the kitchen and behind my tv, the signal is as strong as it is in my bedroom! I just love this device
