This has been the best router I have owned so far. Set up was the quickest and most simple of any other routers that I have owned. This router is great for big homes or 2 story houses. I have had no issues getting WiFi through out my entire house since I put this router in my home.

My two friends and i were having signal issues since the router was pretty far from our rooms, so we tried a few different methods, and this one had amazing results. We have just about the same signal strength as if we had our computers in the same room as our original route. Very easy setup, the app is user friendly and allows some pretty cool features!

Very easy set up, with good instructions. It lives up to its range claims, and my large 2 story house is much better covered than it was previously. I also now even get coverage in the detached garage in our back yard! Very happy with my purhase, and based my previous experience wit Netgear products I expect a great long service life.

The ORBI works very well with our devices. I had a little trouble hooking everything up but once I had everything accepting the new wifi it works just fine.

Set up with T-Mobile Gateway and Reo link Home Hub Pro surveillance system was challenging to say the least. Was getting ready to take the Orbi System back after many phone calls with Reolink tech support, T-Mobile Tech support, and Net Gear Tech Support remote sessions with all, got me nowhere. Finally, which was going to be my last call before returning the system I could not Wi-Fi or internet from the Orbi. I had to plug my desktop into the back of the T-Mobile gateway to get internet. A T-Mobile Tech who told me there only responsibility was to get there gateway working, walked me thru my entire setup getting model numbers googling each one and looking at the setup of each one reviewing with me where each wire went, found the issue had me remove a wire. At last system up and running as prescribed. went from no stars to 5 stars. Thank You T-Mobile technician. No Mention of Best buy because I failed to take out their Geek Squad Set up with the System which I am sure this would not have occurred. Any one of the techs could have solved this issue easily if they could see the setup. Thank You.
Satellites can sometimes interfere with each other

It seems to work fine but I had to spend some time on the phone with the call center in India. The two satellites were interfering with one another and causing us to lose wifi. I had set it up with the router and one satellite on one floor of our house and the other satellite upstairs. Unplugging the one downstairs and using just the one upstairs plus the main router seems to have solved the issue.

Like the unit, I love how its managable via the web interface and not just by the mobile app like my old Arris mesh. Did have an issue where the unit a couple times just basically reset itself. Worked with support who had me manually install the same latest firmware that auto installed, that seems to have fixed it, havent had an issue since.

Orbi mesh system works well. Went with Orbi mesh system as we live in home with three floors and many walls. I would get streaming interruptions with Verizon’s wireless extended. Added Orbi, no streaming interruptions anymore. I would recommend and buy again.

Both good and bad. Remote room went from 10Mb/sec to 500, but an ipad sitting next to main router keeps dropping connection intermittently. Frustrating.

We bought this to replace an old router that could not supply coverage to our entire home.
2 units downstairs and 1 unit in the center upstairs provides excellent coverage to the entire house with NO dead spots and has improved streaming on all devices!
Easy to set up. Took maybe 15 minutes. Highly recommend!

Good coverage. Not quite getting the speeds I was expecting. However I replaced a single NETGEAR RAX200 and was getting 100-150mbps in the worst reception area to getting 700mbps in the same
Area.
