Customers are saying

Customers recognize the Orbi 650 Series AX3000 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System's ease of use, extensive coverage, and generally simple setup process as significant advantages. Many appreciate the improved range and signal strength, resulting in better performance, particularly in larger homes or areas with connectivity challenges. However, some users experienced connection issues and occasional firmware problems. While the system is praised for its performance and security features, the price point is a factor for some customers.

    This thing sucks. It’s never connected, constantly drops my devices and the app is a disaster. I have moved all my equipment around to follow the distances and everything the recommend and it still loses connection. Do not buy this.

    I bought this mesh router on November 30, 2022. It was over $300 at the time so I expected it to last longer than 20 months! Two things have gone wrong and no matter the times I've reset it to factory, I cannot get it to work. It does not pick up either satellite and it now cuts in and out of wifi. With a gamer son, I had no choice but to buy a different mesh wifi.

    Was a great system when I read the reviews, got it home and set it up quickly and easily, but that where that part ends. After that my security cameras drop out, Netflix streams buffer, online games kick on off line and work VPN fails while in the middle of a meeting. Turns out that the system constantly reboot. Log file is wiped out after reboot so I am still unsure why it happening and today I found out that one of my satellites defaulted to its default SSID with no password and exposed my network. Everywhere you look and everyone you speak with states to just update to the latest firmware, but I am on the latest.

    Was great for the first 2 years of owning it, then all of the sudden I have internet issues and had ro reboot, the satellites do not work at all and Netgear support is garbage and they don't know anything. Buy the protection plan cause you'll need a new one after 2 years. Just ordered a new one since I made the mistake of thinking this product would last more than 2 years,

    Day 1 was great. Connected immediately, no issues. 2 weeks in, everything breaks down. Devices won't connect to the satellites, satellites disconnect and won't reconnect. Main router connects with 2.4g instead of 5 when I'm in the same room with it. I had better luck with the ISP's cheap router. Returning.

    Netgear might be a premier name but all I had with this system was trouble. I must have spent at least a total of 60 hours over a year’s time troubleshooting these devices. As I am in the US, it was also extremely difficult to understand the representatives I spoke with on each call.
