Easy to set up. Great coverage. Only has one 2.5 gig port. So if you need more than 1 port I would recommend getting a unmanaged switch to go along with it.

This router with the two satellites work . I have full range throughout the exterior of my home as well. I should’ve bought this sooner. My service provider offers one gig up one gig down and I’m getting full symmetrical speeds. I definitely recommend this router with the two satellite. The price is also amazing for this product.

I've been to the top of the mountain - and this is just as good. I went crazy a few months ago and went all in on my wifi system - I bought the Orbi 970 - it's like $2k for a router and 2 satellites - and I didn't stop there, I got 8Gbps google fiber - aaaaand it didn't seem any faster than this setup with 3Gbps google fiber. this is just my experience and I'm not a gamer. I was expecting instant websites and they still loaded in their usual snappy time with the 970 and 8Gbps. I also learned that wifi speeds are about the same with this 370 as they are with the 970 because my devices - iPhone 16 pro's have a limit of about 1.2Gbps, and the Wifi strength drops with distance from the router or satellites. So for my money this 370 makes sense - one caveat is that I am fortunate enough to have a house with wired internet connections so I can connect 2 of these satellites with an ethernet connection - so dual band works for my setup. if you don't have that, you might want a tri-band system that can dedicate one of those bands to wireless backhaul (connecting the router to the satellites wirelessly). overall the 970 was the top of the mountain and the view from the 370 is identical for what I use the internet for - zoom meetings, and web browsing with some mid sized file uploading and downloading.

NETGEAR's app made the installation process run smoothly. Only hurdle I had to overcome was setting my fiber router to be passthrough to not have dual WiFi competing. We have much better connection throughout our entire property now - including the garage which is excellent.

So happy with these devices. Easy to install and set everything up. The instructions on paper and through the app make it easy with the step-by-step it provides. I went from only having service in 1 or 2 rooms up stairs to solid connection throughout the entire house and backyard.

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.

Netgear Orbi programmed is so easy and the coverage is awesome. The WiFi 7 is super fast and getting great speed on WiFi. Easy to install satellites just hook up to power. We are on a 2 story and get more coverage in the front yard and back yard. Speeds are just super fast now.

I've used Orbi before and upgraded to it again for more speed. I guess my only gripe is the app for setup doesnt always work very well but if you keep at it then it works

I was having issue getting Wi-Fi at my new house it’s around 2,600 sqft with a basement now with this I can get Wi-Fi everywhere in the house, and outside. Was pretty simple to install and the app makes it easy to manage. I by no means consider myself tech savvy but I don’t have to be with this

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.

Overall, it was very complicated to set up, took several hours on the phone to get it all taken care of according to the app. I have great Internet service, but unfortunately, the TVs and cell phones and tablets are running very slow and my security system cannot hook up to it.
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.

Upgrade from my 5 year old Orbi mesh system. Very happy with the purchase!
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
This mesh system replaced one of the early Orbi systems, that was not slated to get any more security updates. I was already familiar with the the app. and operation of the system. Setup was easy, but a couple of older devices would not connect, or kept going off-line.
I called the 800 number and was walked through activating an IoT network. That has pretty well solved the problem with one device left to go. I don’t know if this could have been worked into the initial release, but it would have made like a bit easier.
Perhaps it was only discovered later.
In summary, I’m happy with my new Orbi upgrade and do recommend it to those needing to upgrade. The overall performance of the network is improved, and I’m already prepared to take advantage of WiFi 7 as we replace devices in the next few years.
