A:AnswerUnplug them & see if all devices can connect via the mesh router. If they can, don't turn them back on. Any device that connects to extenders instead of to the mesh routers will get much less speed. In addition, they will clog the throughput of devices that ARE using the mesh routers.
A:AnswerThe best modems for speed are the docsis 3.1 modems. Those will have the best speed capability. I’m a believer in you get what you pay for. Just get a stand alone modem because your Orbi mesh will provide your WiFi and Ethernet connections.
A:AnswerI have Cox and got this product working with it, and it works well. The only issue was the set-up, which couldn't be completed through the app. I ended up calling customer support and the rep walked me through setting it up from the web.
A:AnswerYes, I would recommend this WIFI system but you are going to need a modem to attach one of the units to it. I have cable serviced by Spectrum and they provided the modem.
A:AnswerI am using one router with 2 satellites, no issues. Lightning killed my first router but spared my satellite, I bough another router with satellite and it is working like a charm.
A:AnswerYes. The range is pretty vast. I have a multi story home with my modem in the basement. With the Orbi it reaches from my basement all the way to the top floor with no problem
A:Answeryes. it is backwards compatible. you can connect your satellite routers to any Orbi Mesh router setup. I had the old version where I had to connect the satellite to the wall like a plug in but I upgraded and it still works. You just have to make your new orbi router the main router and use the others as mesh. Good luck!
A:AnswerWe have a 1500+ sq ft home, tri-level, with large wood deck out back and a small lanai out front. The main router is located in a bedroom at one end of the house, the 2nd at the 2nd level of the house. We also run 2 computers, 2 lap tops, 3 phones and 2 smart TVs off of it and have not experiencd any problems to date. This is the best router we have owned. Hook up is simple.
A:AnswerGet the Orbi AC3000 Two pack and you won’t have anymore problems. It says it covers up to 5,000 sq ft and it actually does. I can go anywhere in my house and even anywhere outside and still have WiFi coverage
