I have an older Orbi system that I use as a Wi-Fi access point at my house (with a more powerful firewall) thats been solid, so thought I'd buy this one for the GFs condo to help improve coverage. Overall the range and Wi-Fi performance is good, but the FW/SW is clunky (e.g. limited power user functions, crappy static ip management) and the device is generally a bit frustrating to manage. There's also issues with poor & inconsistent syncing of satellites and if they dropout it takes several minutes for them to reconnect. Sometimes they never reconnect and I have to bring them closer together and do a forced reset & sync (and they're only approx 20-ish feet away from the base station). Overall, the embedded FW feels like it's half baked at best, and was never really tested in real life. For example, you can't even manage everything from a web browser logged in to the router's IP, as it says you must use the app to edit certain security functions, so then you switch to the app which is a pain to use to setup other functions (such as static IPs, which don't even let you sort but IP but are factory limited to sort in the order you added devices). Honestly the previous TP Link I had bought for her place had waaaaay better SW/FW functionality without paying ridiculous subscription fees to provide security!

Exactly what I needed! Bought an old house with lath and plaster walls and needed wifi coverage from basement to upstairs bedrooms. I had a the first generation orbi with only 2 satellites that were great in a one story home. They lasted forever and still work great, so i figured these will last forever too. Coverage is great with no dead zones. Lots of devices connected and never any issues. I almost got the ASUS mesh system for $50 cheaper but went with Orbi because my old set lasted this long I assume these will too. Very easy set up. You won't be disappointed.

Needed a new router and thought this would help us get better wi-fi coverage … and it does!! anchor in the office and satellites on our porch and in our living room. No complaints! Thankful for Geek squad folks that came and set it up and reconnected all of our items!!

I bought this Orbi Mesh system to replace my old router and numerous switches I had around the house and can honestly say I am very pleased with the resulting speed and ease of set-up!

This unit replaced a 7 year old Orbi set that had gotten tired. Speeds are great all over the house. Only thing is that the Orbi app changed and now can't check speed from within it.

We upgraded from an older model Orbi due to more things on line (and the old Orbi no longer being supported). This version is perfect. I would highly recommend for someone that works for home with several devices. Until I started counting, I did not realize how many things I actually had on line!

System was fairly easy to install. System works great in our home and we have a very difficult home for installation. All our walls are lath and plaster and we have always had problems with WIFI signals reaching all the corners of our home but this system has us all covered.

It was easy to set up. I called customer support because I couldn’t get my printer to connect ( its an old printer), they walked me through a few steps and we got it up snd printing. They even made a follow-up call to make sure we were satisfied.
