Set up was moderately easy with a couple of catches due to older equipment. The product functions well, but unfortunately not a marked improvement over what I had before having satellite connections. Devices in the front of the house it used to have one bar now only have two. The main router hub is faster, and my streaming experiences are much better than they were.

Bought to replace an older Orbi system. Install was fairly easy. Satellites did a firmware update during install. Signal didn't seem as strong as the Orbi I was replacing since the satellites had to be closer to the router. Seemed to be a significant drop in wifi performance on the satellites compared to the older unit. Returned since there was not a noticeable improvement.

The Orbi wifi 7 gave very good instructions for set up making installation painless. It is allowing me to get faster results from my modem. I recommend it.

Installation was easy and they even made a recommendation to keep my old network name when I was going to run it in parallel with my old network and it made the switchover much easier as I did not need to change any of my device connections to the new router name. Installation was fairly seamless.

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.
