NETGEAR - Orbi Tri-Band AC2200 Mesh WiFi System with 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem built-in (2-Pack) - White

My Netgear Nighthawk cable modem finally died after many years of service so I replaced it with this Netgear Orbi. Right away I noticed a huge difference in the Wi-Fi signal strength throughout our condo. The hard wired attached TV typically had 400+ mbps whilst Wi-Fi devices typically would have less than 40mbps. Now Wi-Fi signal strength even in the back bedrooms are showing 200 to over 300mbps. Previously I had 4 Wi-Fi extenders located around the condo and they barely made a difference, now with just one Orbi satellite I’m getting awesome Wi-Fi everywhere. Currently it’s a full retail so I was a little disappointed but I couldn’t wait for it to go on sale.

Amazing product I recommended it. this is better than Google wifi.

My need was to correct dead spots in house. I purchased ORBI Mesh networking to fix the problem and it did! My side benefit was getting rid of the Comcast modem/router saving me $10/month. Installation of system was easy with no problems or phone call help. Comcast activation was automatic during setup process. I noticed that downloads were faster ie 75mbps comcsst and 125mbps on the ORBI. Signal strength is strong and equal and we have had no dropouts since installation. We have 2000sqft with bonus room/office upstairs. The modem is located there. There are 3 computers connected to that modems ethernet ports. The satellite is downstairs in family room. We have complete coverage on ground level including porch and back yard/garage. System has been up about 30 days as of this review. Highly recommend the ORBI, price is a little high but small price to pay for eliminating inet drop outs on laptops, TV and phone.

I needed to replace my old Orbi system since the satellite quit responding after 1.5 years of use. Couldn't revive it. It was spend $250 for a new satellite or $399 for this setup and replace the cable modem which was costing me $10/m. The difference between this and just a new satellite is just over a years of savings by getting rid of the leased modem. So I took the plunge. Because the last one didn't last 2 years, I got the Geek Squad replacement deal with this one. It's been a month now and I'm glad I did this. Went from two large items on my shelf to one. Because of a few power outages, I've witnessed the reboot time of this is half of what the leased modem was. The only downside is I also have home security with the cable company and they had to install a separate "secure" router between my modem and their touchscreen. It's small and not noticeable. I originally got the Orbi because I have a few Nest security cameras and they'd keep dropping off the network. This has stopped that. I just hope this setup lives a lot longer than the last one did.

I purchased this modem/router system a month ago. My cable company’s (Comcast) new gateway would not cover my home, and my iPhone 7 refused to stay connected to WiFi. Customer service was useless, so decided to ditch their equipment and bought his Orbi instead. Works very well, and was pretty simple to set up. Now my Apple TV, iPhone, iPads, Arlo cameras, and weather station all work throughout my house, and even in my outbuildings and yard, and my speed is faster! And, I’m saving $13/month not renting Comcast’s inferior equipment! Awesome! Take that annoying cable company!

I have a home approximately 2000sqft. I had been using the hardware provided by my service provider for my internet access and wifi. In my office where it was all set up I never had issues. The further back of my home I went the less signal strength I would have. Sadly it was not very far away where I started encountering signal strength issues. I had tried a couple different $25-30 wifi extenders over the years but they really didn’t help all that much as I would still encounter buffering issues streaming in my living room. Picked up at Orbi and after getting it set up I saw a dramatic improvement. Setup is fairly simple. Longest part was being on phone with service provider while I was swapping their equipment out for Orbi. After that was done I was good to go. The Orbi app (on my phone) allows me to test my access which is great. I set the satellite up in the living room and the signal strength is almost as good as if I were in my office. Absolutely worth the investment as I expect this will last a long time. Very satisfied with this product.

having bought numerous crap wifi extenders-went to Best Buy and told associate about my not so great Comcast Xfinity Wifi. My home is surrounded by my neighbors all using wifi extenders that my Xfinity wifi was getting smothered. Being skeptical and desperate for wifi so I can use my iPhone, Ipad and movie box without the usual long buffering-set this up as directed. It was sooo easy. At first placing satellite Orbi the color was red and I thought Great another Bust in my home-a sideways ranch smothered by multistory-multi family homes, the satellite Orbi went on line few minutes later. I purchased another satellite so I can smother the folks surrounding me. I have coverage in my entire house including basement which Ive never had before.

I purchased this WiFi system to get rid of the Comcast modem/router we were paying for monthly. Purchasing your own modem really pays for itself in the long run and gives you better WiFi coverage for your home. This better Orbi really is easy to configure and install because of the companion app. It let’s you see what devices are connected to your WiFi, and test speeds. If you line in a bigger home you can purchase more satellites to expand coverage in home which is perfect for dead spots in your home. I currently have the one smaller satellite that came with this purchase and is perfect for my 1,500 square foot home, I use to have dead spots with the Comcast router, only draw back in my opinion is price, it’s a little too pricey but really I’ve had no issues.
