Gave great WiFi coverage, but cratered my speeds. Have 2 Gbps from ISP and on previous WiFi 6 Asus router was getting about ~270 Mbps on the opposite side of the house. With Orbi, was getting constant 100 even standing next to the router and not any of the satellites. Also the advanced options in the app were lacking.
TLDR; stable connection and good coverage, but decimated WiFi speed.
If you're still experiencing any issues, please reach out to us at [email protected], we’re happy to help! If your experience has improved, we’d really appreciate an updated review.

Pleasantly surprised by Orbi's Wifi 7 without 6Ghz

Purchased to replace Wifi router provided by Spectrum and prior Linksys Velop mesh system which died. Researched and decided to try Orbi since the new 370s were cheaper, did not require subscription for advanced settings, and did not have reported support / manufacturing / security gaps.
Bottom line, selected this Orbi 370 level due to smaller investment since Wifi 7 tri/quad-band and 6ghz still seem like a work in progress from vendors. Current Wifi 7 6ghz device reviews seem to be all over the map.
I have been pleasantly surprised by the reliability and speed of the Orbi mesh. For my devices with Wifi 7 cards, the connection is fantastic with low latency. My FAST and Ookla results are better than published plan speeds. The backhaul has also been working great.
The Orbi administrative web page and mobile app work well. All the typical advanced options. Being able to have a dedicated IOT / VLAN for devices has helped improve all device connectivity including Ring, Kangaroo, etc.
Note: Had to use the router's ethernet connection (laptop) and admin web page to setup the primary router. For some reason the mobile app crapped out during initial setup. After initial setup, the mobile app has worked fine.
I did add an ASUS - QG-U1050 switch to the primary router since it feeds wired connections to TV, Ooma, Apple TV, additional satellites, etc.
I decided not to subscribe to the NETGEAR Armor, but it seemed to work well during the trial period and did not conflict with my existing tools. Armor did identify some unusual traffic to one of my ring cameras originating from Amazon / Ring IPs.

Needed to upgrade my previous Orbi and this was the winner. I tried a different mesh system and it wouldn't to play nicely with work VPN. This set fit the bill perfectly.
The only downside that is not mentioned in set up: You HAVE TO use the Orbi ethernet cord for it to operate.

Overall a great performance system, but i had to disable the trial Armor Security feature to get better performance from the system. This could potentially be because any potential security protocols from my Internet Service Provider. I would still recommend this item, because overall I do see performance improvements.

I needed this system to achieve WiFi throughout my house. The router/ modem is in the garage and my house is constructed with adobe bricks. I added the mesh system and connected the satellites with cad five wiring to achieve WiFi in the entire house. This is far better than the extenders which I previously used.

So far so good. Moved into a new home and needed maximum strength wi-fi for work. So far this system has met expectations and everything seems to be streaming/running with no issues. Setup was super simple. Happy with the purchase.

Just had this nice Orbi 2 piece router set up and it is great! My wifi speed is much improved and I can use one in another room near my work computer with no worries. Definitely recommend this product!

Really loving our updated internet, we had the same router for over 10 years and it was starting to get spotty. This is working great for us.

Cured our terrible wifi signal in the living room. Only thing I wish it had two Ethernet ports in the back as we have two computers that enjoy a direct connection.

Works great, highs speeds just not the best for my case. I wanted the router on the main floor and satellite in the basement. Unfortunately even though the satellite was not that far away from the router in the basement, my devices in the basement were receiving half the speed the router was giving. Returned but would be good enough for one floor homes

I absolutely love this WiFi Mesh system! It’s incredibly fast and comes with excellent parental controls. The only downside is that after the first month, you need to subscribe to access the advanced features. Other systems don’t require a subscription, which makes this system slightly more expensive.

Solid wifi system. It helps boost the wifi signal in your home. Really helped my house with lost signal we were experiencing in certain rooms. Worth the money.
