Easy outdoor wifi...
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.My existing Orbi wifi was great in my house, but I have added wifi-enabled devices in my backyard...Enter the Orbi Outdoor AC3000. The whole process was simple and it has added very useful wifi to my mesh system that now extends well into my backyard. I am so pleased with the results. My Ring cameras and wifi enabled switches and outlets now have strong wifi that I can count upon.

Incredible Wifi range!
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.We added this to our existing Orbi mesh system and we could not be happier. It not only strengthens the existing Orbi mesh system, but it made our reception range outside of our home incredible. And we are able to carry a strong signal up to 50-75 yards from the house on Wifi devices And it is outdoor suitable for mounting. In fact, we mounted ours into the ceiling of the back porch. This is a must have addition to your Orbi mesh Wifi system!

Extended Range of Existing Orbi Mesh Network Well
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I had installed for a friend on a small ranch a Orbi system to cover the main home and the mother-in-law home over 100' from the main house a few months back. It worked well in getting coverage throughout both homes. I had also installed some Ring cameras in the nearby barn for the owner to look in on her three horses, but it was marginal with the Orbi's in the homes being so far away. I installed this outdoor extender in the metal barn 120' feet from one home and 200' from the other. She now has great coverage and speed through the barn on the Ring cameras which there is now three looking into the stalls for each horse. She is loving it.

Great Wi-Fi coverage, hard set up process
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This is a great outdoor Wi-Fi extender. I would have given it 5 stars except the setup process was difficult for no reason. Netgear really needs to work on it's set up process. It even includes a link that doesn't work. However if you can get it to set up, the Wi-Fi coverage outside is great.

Outdoor Wifi Setup for Luddites
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I mounted this Orbi Outdoor wifi mesh access point on a tall post in a daisy chain to cover the further reaches of my farm. Attached the mounting bracket to a piece of wood, brought some power up on the outside of 1/2" EMT (3/4" might have worked to bring the power up through the EMT, but would have been tight given the DC power plug's design...would have been better to do so with 1" EMT in my opinion), attached the wood to the EMT, linked the access point to the mesh (takes about 10 minutes for some reason...I suspect it was trying to link to other more distant AP's until it settled on the one I wanted), and it was up and running. Works as advertised.

Not compatible with WiFi 6 system
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Buyer beware. Despite the box stating that this “works with your existing WiFi,” it does not work at all with Orbi WiFi 6. Confirmed by Netgear, but won’t refund. Apparently on a different band. Netgear says firmware update in the future, but who knows when

Netgear Orbi WiFi SystemThe Netgear Orbi is the second Wi-Fi system I've worked with and, at a glance, it seems similar to the first, the Eero .

Netgear Orbi Outdoor Satellite review: Great range, but only so-so speedThis node will extend your Orbi mesh network far into your yard—for a price.

Q: QuestionI'm trying to design a mesh system which covers our house and 2 barns. What's the maximum linear distance this unit can be from the source Orbi router? I have an RBR20. Also, what's the maximum linear distance this unit will broadcast a signal?
Asked by Pete.
- A:Answer Pete, there are many variables that influence the range of the ORBI outdoor satellite. Distance from the other components of the wireless network is one. Home construction: # of walls and materials. Input speed to your router. Competition (traffic & interference) on the different channels. We have approximately 300 - 350 mbps to the router. Using the outdoor satellite just outside of our house,linked to 2 other satellites and a router in our house, we get between 5 - 15 mbps at the end of our pool 60 feet from our house. 15 is good enough to stream video. FWIW we have an RBR50. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionIs this Outdoor AC3000 compatible with the Netgear WIFI 6 AC 6000 system?
Asked by Compatibility.
- A:Answer It should work with Nighthawk and other WiFi 6 systems in extender mode. It just won’t work with Orbi WiFi 6 systems. I use it in extender Mode outside of my Orbi WiFi 6 system on a separate network not used by the Orbi WiFi 6 system and it works great.
