Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a product, the Orbi is awesome. We have a house that has lathe and plaster walls and Orbi has no issues broadcasting. As for customer service, Netgear sucks. I have had nothing but issues with getting my Armor subscription activated. After 6 weeks it is still not solved.

Moved into a new apartment with a long hallway between the modem/Wi-Fi combo from xFinity and my home office. I was getting roughly 10% of my bandwidth with the default equipment and very poor signal in my office compared to 30% bandwidth (dualband Wi-Fi) and great signal everywhere else. Although the former was the main issue, getting only 30% off what I was paying for was insane, these ISP need to upgrade their default equipment (and this was there top of the line upgrade modem combo, dualband Wi-Fi 5 with support for only little over 300+ mbps). After upgrading my Wi-Fi setup I was able to get great signal everywhere in the apartment, with 70% bandwidth (Wi-Fi everywhere ) and 90%+ bandwidth (Ethernet from repeater to office desktop). Setup was quick and painless, however, do make and account for recovery purposes.

Set up the Orbi today. Easy setup with the app; took less than 20 minutes. Everything I hoped for in a mesh router. My wife speed is two to four times faster (without an increase in throughput through the modem) than my former router. I’m very pleased.

Orbi set up was quick and easy. Was able to easily pair router and satellite. Upgrade from a Nighthawk. Covers our 3.5k sq ft home. Ideally for 1G Fiber.

Installed this setup for my parents on Google Fiber connection. Setup was pretty easy and so far it has performed great. They now have great wifi reception upstairs with the main node in the basement.

We love it so far. Speeds far better than the previous mesh system and most importantly, these are reliable. Pricy imo at $450 but worth it as someone who works from home.

Excellent product. Very easy to install and the range is perfect. I’ve had no problems since installing. The router links to your smart phone and you can monitor who or what device is accessing your network. You can even remotely stop service to those devices.

So easy to start up and move things over to the new network. You don't have to change you network if you don't want to and it suggests that during set up but we did. No dead spots and our speed are finally matching what we are paying for. Even on the 3rd floor in our house. Excellent.

Really quick and easy set up. Strong, consistent signal throughout the house, three floors. Yes, it’s expensive, and we probably would have been ok with the AC mesh system, but with the number or devices we have already, plus future-proofing, we got this AX tri-band system instead.

I have a fairly large home and need strong and secure WiFi strength in my garage to accommodate my new Tesla and it's WiFi enabled wall charger. This system accomplishes just that. The satellite was exactly what I needed to provide that stronger signal for the garage. Set up was a bit confusing because the instructions are not that clear. My biggest concern was what the colored band means around the base of each unit. I actually had to Google search what the different colors represented. The app makes it easy to see what items are using the network and to disable or enable specific things. I've had up to 15 items using the network with no reduction in speed or issues. These new systems are attractive and actually look like a piece of artwork on display. Much better looking than the old spaceship looking router they replaced.

So far this is the best router I have owned. The speeds and range are phenomenal. I have a 2400 sq ft two story home and the Orbi covers every square in of the home . Setting up with my smart home was a breeze. I highly recommend Netgear Orbi.

Covers our house great, 2k square foot ranch. Used for general usage, streaming, and multiple people gaming. It keeps up well and haven't had any issued out of it.

Love it GREAT UPGRADE from my old system easy to setup pretty much plug and play app walks u right through it. Almost all my house has smart devices and tvs cameras you name it needed more range coverage and faster speeds

Amazing system. Super easy to set up and love the ease in NOT having to to reset all the devices to a new login and password but rather it allows a simple reset to your existing setup. After months of dropped access and resets on our old Nighthawk this upgrade is great!

These cost a bit more than I usually want to pay for a home WiFi router, but I have been very happy with the purchase. I have one unit placed downstairs (2400 sqft) on top of a book case and the satellite is upstairs, centrally located. The RF backhaul feature is nice and provides good throughput. Lowest speed test in house is 180Mbps out of theoretical 300Mbps (stated Internet connection from Comcast). The neighbors haven't complained (I live on 1.1 acre), but I get 80Mbps at the end of my yard from the house (~50 yards). I asked them to tell me if I was interfering. Perhaps this afternoon I will get around to running a wired connection to the satellite unit. The ability to have a wired connection between the main router and the satellite was the biggest selling point for me. For what it's worth, I went from 802.11n to 802.11ac WiFi. this might contribute to my general giddiness over the performance improvement.

Really happy with this mesh system! We had a problem with consistent coverage everywhere in the house. Orbi has definitely solved that! Best of all, it was really easy to set up, even for a non-techi like me!

Purchase these to replace an old Asus router that had performed admirably. Wanted to future proof our WiFi and was looking for stability. The Netgear Orbi AX4200 has seemed to do the trick. So far very stable and good coverage throughout the house. Very easy basic setup.

So far I’ve had awesome internet speed and coverage. I did upgrade my service also and had external wiring maintenance so 3 things happens at once. I would recommend them they also look pretty. I also bought the surf board to go with them.

If you have a longer house with multiple walls and rooms I would definitely get this I no longer have dropped connections and the speed is stable. My router is on the opposite end of the house from my Xbox and I haven’t been kicked since I installed it.

Upgraded from the Netgear Nighthawk mesh (garbage router system). This Orbi is simply on a different level. I am getting the exact same speed from the satellite upstairs in my house as I do from the main router! It’s mind blowing, cost of entry is high but this is one of those devices where you get what you pay for. You will feel like you’re finally getting what we pay our ISP for. It’s a fantastic feeling, incredibly smart devices and they are FAST!!! I am a pretty heavy user with about 25-30 devices connected at any given point in time and there are just no hiccups on this system, no restarts, none of the dreaded problems we experience when dealing with typical router woes... The best router I’ve ever had the pleasure of using by a significant margin. May not matter to some, but it could have a better form factor. For whatever reason these aren’t the prettiest devices, and they are large.
