It 'broke' within days.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The base station quit functioning. It had intermittent Internet connection. It took 3 days to settle down, but then just quit. Guess I'll have to have it fixed. Meanwhile, I have purchased a TP-LINK Wi-fi 6 model that is more stable. My old Orbi did the same thing, except I haven't yet scheduled a maintenance date. Your mileage with your Orbi may vary.

Pretty solid
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked well as a mesh wifi solution. A little difficult to set up due to poor app compatibility, but eventually got it to work. The UI is fairly old looking and not user friendly, but it works.

Decent router but a poor value.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an OK router but not as reliable as the AmplifiHD router it replaced. More importantly, the family controls and security features they advertise require a paid subscription that they don't tell you about until after you've bought the router. We get good speeds but have had to reboot it far more than our old router. It's also much larger and more obtrusive.

Orbi WiFi
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was only getting 30 mb download speeds on a 1 gb AT&T with a cheap extender. Now I'm getting 975 mb download speeds. No lag on any apps. Internet much quicker. Have 1 satellite upstairs, 1 down. Works great !!

Orbi hookup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the Orbi mesh to ehance wi-fi connectivity. When hooked up with ether net, they overwhelmed a Verizon gateway. Not 100% sure they are the enhancement i thought they would be.

Much improved connectivity
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the RBK13 orbi mesh network (router and 2 satellites) bought in 2020. Occasionally the streaming on TV would stop. Mostly when my boyfriend came over and there was extra devices connected. Upgrading to the RBK752 router with 2 satellites in 2022 improved the signal. As a matter of fact the signal is strong enough, I am not using one of the satellites at the moment. I will be setting that up in the upper level as I get more devices connected up there.

Best Mesh Wi-Fi System
