Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this for our home FIOS service and so far so good. Great speeds and no dead zones in our 2 story 2100 sq ft home.

Works great, have one satellite two floors up and it is so much faster and always connected.

Initial setup did not work, it took about an hour for the app to see both routers. when it did finish, I got an error from the app saying it couldn't connect to routers, but the Internet was working properly so I didn't worry about. About two weeks later I did a speed test and noticed my speed was very low. Decided to run setup again, this time app connected properly. speed was very fast. Not sure if I'd recommend this item, seems to basically work as my old 4 year old router. However, having two routers instead of one does expand my coverage, so I'm basically happy.

So far so good internet speed has never been better. No more weak signal in certain rooms or disconnecting.

Really an excellent upgrade to my previous routers, which were also fast. No hiccups at all with these, and great coverage

I was in much need of a new router, and needed something that would cover a larger area for a larger home, Orbi to the rescue! Set up was straight forward, place the home unit and satellite where they need to be, use the mobile app to set up, (which is simple to use) and I was up in running in no time. Haven’t had too many issues since. Just note that this is WiFi 6, so you should test your devices after set up to make sure they can accept it. Good choice overall!

Great mesh system. Upgraded to support my gigablast internet and it doesnt disappoint. Really easy set up process as well

Bought these to replace a single Asus AX router that would not provide coverage in the one spot in my home that I needed to create an office. The Orbi provided coverage throughout the house and I thought that all was well. However, I quickly learned that this set-up does not play nice with Nest thermostats of which I have two. Apparently, this is a known fact with the resolution involving repeatedly recharging the Nest battery due to the power consumption with finding wifi radios in which to connect. Too much trouble for a Nest owner...otherwise, highly recommended.

Finally, I have decent wifi after years of ATT Airties mesh junk. I have a 3,400 square foot 1 story block house and I can now walk completely around the house with an extremely strong and fast signal. With the Airties garbage ATT pushes I never saw more than 1 or 2 of my 35 devices on any other the mesh satellites. With this system my phone seamlessly switches back and forth from the router to the satelite depending on where I am in my house.

Netgear does a great job of making setup simple. However, using an iPhone with iOS14 causes an issue during setup because of the 'Private Address' setting being turned on by default on every network an iPhone connects to. This is not Netgear's fault, hence why I gave the 5 star rating. I live in a 2 floor condo, the devices upstairs connected to the Satellite node and devices downstairs connected to the Main node. Devices on the second floor perform much better, no lag, and nodes downstairs perform well.

Great range. reliable. No disconnects, I have the base Orbie at home and this one in my office. They are outstanding,

Fast speeds and far range. Covers my whole back yard which is not small and front yard plus whole house 4 bedroom and basement

Easy setup and great product. Our older Netgear nighthawk WiFi router had recently kicked the bucket so I purchased a cheap replacement, which was a complete waste of money. Bought these to replace the cheap one and everything is running sooo much smoother. My son has a gaming computer connected directly to the satellite router and he keeps saying how great it is. Would definitely spend the money for these again.

Extremely easy to set up. Overall, the coverage is about as advertised. I do not have super fast internet so this is only doing the speeds advertised from the internet provider

I get the exact same speeds at the satellite as if I were hardwired in. Just for reference my max internet provider speed is 400MB. Fantastic router system. There is one caveat to this. The setup was really really bad. I was not able to use the mobile app for initial setup and had to run setup through the online web app. Also I had issues with my work VPN on first setup and had to do a full reset of the entire system and do it over to correct this issue. After a second full clean setup everything works great! I came from using the google nest mesh network and would recommend this over that for sure.

Very easy to setup, the satellite hard wired plugs are wonderful and the router really sped up and fully utilizes our internet speed!

Honestly I tried many brands and types of mesh systems and nothing is better than Orbi. I tried eero 6, Google mesh 3 pack and always I have issues at home, getting disconnected all the time. Finally I found one mesh system that give me 200 mbps in the entire house and with no issues. The connection is very stable, no dead spots anymore and full and fast connection. It is expensive but worth it. The app is easy to use with some bugs but not a big deal.

I really love this router. It is easy to install and the app is very user friendly. The range is great.

These were difficult to set up, The instructions that came with them were not correct, and a call to Netgear Support was required. Once set up correctly they worked great and solved our intermittant wireless problem for one workstation. The "dashboard" that comes with the software shows which devises are connected to which pod which can be helpful when diagnosing issues.

Netgear's ORBI AX4200 made cutting the cable cord, a seamless transition, with regard to entertainment. I had to keep the cable modem :(, and It took a couple or tries to get the satellite in the prime location, but now it is set. The money we saved from the cable over 1 MONTH, nearly paid for the entire system. Hookup was simple and relatively quick. Streaming shows and downloading content has been a breeze between 5 TV's, 3 smartphones, 2 laptops and one PC with no buffering. Awesome
