The Best WIFI system all around.
Posted .I live in a house which is 3100 Sf, and the wifi signal has always been an a problem in our home. When the mesh technology, for non-commercial use, was first introduced through Eero, I was excited and thought that my wifi problems were solved. I purchased a three pack Eero. The initial Eero which was setup next to the cable modem had no issues, however as the other two Eeros were setup throughout the house, the speed began to degrade. As time went by, the Eeros' performance worsened. The Eeros also ran extremely hot to the point, that one of the units burned out. I next purchased the Luma system. Lumas were awful off the get go. I get 200 Mbps through my local ISP. The Lumas never exceeded a 75 mbps download speed. I finally purchased the Linksys Velop. The Velop, initially, worked great however, as time passed the speeds began to drop, and the three unit pack was not performing as advertised. My son complained that he was experiencing lag while playing online games on his Xbox 1. There was always a delay, and buffering when watching YouTube and Netflix, through the third Velop node which was located in the family room at the other end of the house. I then bought the Netgear Orbi, AC300 two unit set. The Orbi worked great, but the signal completely dropped in the living room where a wifi enabled TV, along with the Ring doorbell is located. just to note, that there was no Orbi Satelite setup in the living room. I returned the AC3000, and bought the Orbi AC2200 three pack. I have not yet been disappointed. Speed tests are constant with a 238 Mbps download and a 12 Mbps upload. The speed test has been consistent throughout the house. I have owned the AC2200, three pack, for a week, and the Orbis run cool, and the their performance is getting better. In my opinion, and someone making a point through personal experience, I believe that the Orbi AC3000 is an overkill. The three pack AC2200 is the perfect solutions for any person who owns an architecturally challenged home.

Wow!
|Posted .What can I say? So sad I didn’t do this before! I moved from a 2200 ft2 house with a Nighthawk AC1900 in the central location, to a 3200 ft2 house with a wierd layout. I needed strong signal in the 3 distant corners of the house. The Nighthawk did ok, but not good enough. I tried the local cable companies access points. The signal was decent, but kept dropping off and I was constantly resetting the access points. I had the cable company out to the house countless times. I did the research, and had Geek squad come out and give me a free eval. I was leaning towards the Velop. He told me he had better luck with the Orbi in his experience. I was reluctant, but gave it a shot when I saw this on Black Friday deal. It’s been almost one month, and I could not be happier! The signal is strong in every square inch of my house and out in the yard. Each orbi has 4 plug ins to hard wire internet access, so I can hard wire my XBox and BluRay players. The speed is consistent everywhere! I have not had a single signal drop yet. I am so glad I took his advise! Would highly recommend this system for anyone with a home where a single router is not quiteenough.

All I can say is Wow!!
|Posted .You WILL NOT go wrong with the purchase of this ORBI mesh system. This system has blanketed my entire house with full speed Wi-Fi (Spectrum 200MBS in my area). Most routers reduce the speeds of you incoming signal, not this system. I even have Wi-Fi out to my shop that is over 30 yards away and going through 2 internal walls and a brick exterior wall. BUY IT!! You will not be disappointed!!

Coverage like no other & easy to set up!
Posted .In a nutshell, this is by far the best router setup I've ever done and used! I live in a home that is almost 3400 sq-ft. It's 2 story home with an attached 2 car garage as well as a separate 3rd car garage. Coverage with even the best routers has been a challenge. Spotty coverage & inconsistent speed being the worst part of it. The Orbi straight out the box was a nice change. Not only in looks, but how easy it was to understand what was what. Being three separate units, I thought might be a challenge in how it will be setting it up, but overall it was much easier than I thought it would be. The instructions are very easy to understand and everything is labeled and easy to identify. The colored "Light Ring" is a nice touch! Knowing a connection is made by a simple glance at the top of the unit, makes it extremely easy to know if the satellites are connected and working. I placed the main router in the far west of the house in the downstairs office where the modem is located. Note, I have a Comcast modem/router combo but had the router (Wi-Fi) turned off so there would be no chance of interference that can affect the performance, or at least it can in other routers. Once I hooked up the router, I followed the guided setup on the Orbi app I downloaded onto my iPad (free on the app store) and it walked me through the rest of the setup. I put the first (of 2) satellites in the middle of the upstairs landing area. It was a perfect place due to being directly in the middle of the house and close to all the bedrooms, where coverage was an issue with the other routers. After plugging it in, I used the app to help me make sure it was connecting properly and after just about 30 seconds, I got the Blue light ring indicating a good connection was made. I also used the satellite to hook up my Arlo camera base, a AT&T Micro-cell and a desktop PC that Guest can use. (See picture) I then preceded to take the 2nd satellite and plugged in to the far east of the house in the downstairs family room. Doing this gave me a good "triangular" coverage pattern. Again, after just about 30 seconds, I got the blue light ring that indicated another good connection. It was literally that easy of a setup. Once everything was setup and good connections were made, I used the app to rename my network and change the password. (Hint) I used the same SSID and password as my previous router to make it easier to get all my connected devices working again quickly, instead of having to go to each one and connect them to the network like new devices. Super easy! Remember, after initial setup, no light is a good thing! Now for the true test...coverage and speed! With my previous router, my hardwired devices would get very good download speeds. I have business class broadband with approximately 200 mbps download. With hardwired devices, I would get well over 150 mbps, while my wireless devices were getting an average speed of around 30-50 mbps down and 11 mbps upload speeds. Those numbers would drop the further away I got from the router in the office. I have a 7 year old laptop that I use for a network drive with movies and music in a room just above the office that got around 20-30 mbps on the wireless, so it was very slow and if I wanted to stream anything from it to another device, it was a challenge. Music did OK, but video was lagging. With the new Orbi setup, things have improved tremendously! Speeds on average across the whole house is now well over 100 mbps on all devices. My iPad (Air 2) would get many times over 150 mbps download speeds and uploads close to 40 mbps, which is very good! The best part is, my 3rd car garage now gets Wi-Fi with very good coverage. My iPad get around 30-40 mpbs download speeds, which allows me to stream movies and music with no issues. Overall, this is a godsend! I love how easy this is and I have yet to have to "reset" my wireless to get it working again! The units look great and perform even better than I expected! I highly recommend this If you think about the cost having to buy 3 routers, this really isn't any more than that would be. Plus, you’re getting something that truly works and is worth every penny for the simple "hassle free" setup and for something that actually does what it says it will do! Highly recommend this to anyone that has coverage issues and wants something that's easy to set up and that works seamlessly across their home or business! (I received this item for free through the Netgear "Friends & Family" program. My review is 100% honest and has nothing to do with the program itself. I just agreed to give an honest review of this product)

Great WiFi Finally!
|Posted .We have a long house, and no matter where we put the router, we couldn’t get wi-if in all the rooms we used our computers and tablets. I asked Geek Squad to come evaluate our needs, and they recommended the Orbi. Now we have great WiFi throughout the house and on the porches. Wonderful!

Great Router, Tough Setup
Posted .Let me start by saying I'm not the most tech worthy guy. I embrace technology and all the things it's done to make our lives better, but I'm always nervous about getting something new or upgrading something fearing running into difficulties I cannot deal with or fix. I was driven to buy this as I have a good sized three story home that was previously serviced by a Linksys WRT 1900 AC Router with extended antennas and a Linksys extender. Worked just fine when I first got them, but either they aged or the additional wireless devices hooked up to them overwhelmed them. And then my Mother complained about the Wi-Fi connectivity of her smart phone while visiting so it had to go. Looked into this and Google routers but needed the additional ethernet outlets this had (3 compared to 1). So bought this and religiously followed the instructions. Everything was going fine. And then I checked the app and discovered only one of my two satellites was connected. To get free 24/7 support for 90 days you have to register new products. So I started that. Towards the end I got a message that there was a glitch so I should try to register later. Well, I needed to register to get the free support so I tried again and got a message saying my product was already registered. Argh! Live support is well hidden on the website and it says it costs (unless you're registered). I called the number anyway and they agreed to help me and fix my registration too all for free. Took one transfer a good deal of time and running up and down three flights of stairs, but finally got everything working. Main router is on the top floor, 1st satellite was on the main floor and the 2nd in the basement. Heavy duty users of bandwidth on all three levels, and they all work wonderfully now. Tough journey to get there, but all is fine now. Were it not for the hook up issues would have given it 5 stars. The one thing I may have done wrong, and there was no mention of this in the instructions, was to hook up the satellites sequentially (one at a time). It takes a while to become discoverable or be discovered. And as I waited for the 2nd one to become discovered, the first may no longer have been discoverable. My advice? after you set up the first satellite, begin working on the second. Don't wait for it to be discovered before moving on to the second like I did.

Q: QuestionHow does this system performance (range/coverage) compare to the RBR50 Orbi Router and two RBS50 Orbi Satellites? I assume the LAN ports on the router are fully functional, but are the LAN ports fully functional on the two satellite units?
Asked by killians913.
- A:Answer The RBK43 system is an AC2200 network and covers approximately 6,000 sq. ft. The RBK53 system (1 RBR50 Router + 2 RBS50 satellites) is an AC3000 network covering approximately 7,500 sq. ft. The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports on the routers and satellites are all fully functional as LAN ports (they do not support a WAN connection as the satellites were designed to connect wirelessly to the router; the router has a single WAN port).
