Easy to set up and great whole house coverage with great signal strength.

Very fast and easy to set up. I had a problem with my MacBook wifi not connecting but I had the satellite too close to the router. It works great so far.

We had another brand mesh network for years. Lightening finally forced our hand to replace what we had. This one isn’t cheap, however WiFi 7 and the app interface makes this product Orbi 770 worth every penny. Simple set up, the satellites sync effortlessly and you’re up and running. I have 1gig internet and I’m seeing 600-700 up and down ON WIFI! That’s nuts. You can monitor everything from the app. You can see what devices are connected and block anything suspicious. Complete control. Go ahead and spend the money. You won’t regret it

My old Orbi Wi-Fi 6 system was obsolete so I replaced it with this Wi-Fi 7 system. Set-up was a breeze as I already had the Orbi app. The Wi-Fi coverage in my two story home is excellent and I'm getting all the speed available from my service provider. It's a bit of a challenge to reconnect all devices to a new system, but hopefully this will be the only time for a few years. So far, excellent reliability.

Excellent range, signal strength, and speed, even when connected over a long linear distance through multiple walls, some of which are brick. The mesh network has been totally reliable so far - no more dropped connections, which had become frequent with my previous system. Setup instructions could be a little clearer, but are OK.

Amazing! Period. This is our second Orbi system. We hated to give up the first one it was so good, but it finally aged out after many many years. We didn't think Orbi could do any better and yet it's totally outdone all expectations. Ease of installation, amazing Wi-Fi coverage both in speed and range. A keeper for sure.

Easy setup! Use the app! Was very simple. Only complaint I have was waiting for things to power up boot up connect. Recommend updating firmware before doing anything else. Is an improvement over my gen 1 orbi. Range is good. Speeds are great!

For the most part it works great
Sometimes the internet will seem kinda slow for a second but other than the first day it hasn’t disconnected
When I first got it it kept disconnecting over and over but after updating it was fine

Great system but had trouble with the manufacturer website getting it set up. Their customer service dept was horrible and put me on hold for over 45 minutes. Best Buy’s customer service walked me through another way to register the product and activate it. Very happy with Best Buy but ORBI not so much. It works great but because of all the hassle setting it up I don’t know if I’d go with their brand again.

Setup took me just over 1.5 hours including unboxing (great). Coverage for a three-story house (3K sf) appears to be 100% with no drops so far. Video runs great in all corners of house (no gamers, sorry). Outside coverage at 250 feet away is fine (nice surprise). Cable/modem/router delivering 930-970 MB down/40 MB up. Orbi 773 exceeds my expectations (& family loves the upgrade).

So far this mesh system is working great. I upgraded from the 1st generation. Only issue was mine was used but bought it new supposedly. I had to call Netgear to do the install, which was time consuming.

We upgraded from the Orbi RBR50 and were not disappointed. Had the 770 setup in around 30 minutes and all devices connected flawlessly. Speeds are lightning quick and coverage is good in every corner of our nearly 6,000sq ft house. We have 3 kids and stream a lot and so far we have not a one hick-up, Considered other brands, but stuck with Netgear, so far happy with our decision.

I needed to expand WiFi coverage in my house and settled on the Orbi 770 products. Initially had issues putting my cox Panoramic modem in bridge mode and getting out to the internet - not an Orbi issue but a Cox issue. Once Cox opened things it’s been smooth sailing with the Orbi devices. I used wired backhaul connections on the 2 satellites. No issues setting these up. I did add a third satellite for better coverage outside on patio and screen porch. This is still a WiFi backhaul. I would highly recommend the Orbi products. The only weak link is the router management software. Many things can’t be done unless you open a browser and log into the router bypassing the Orbi app on your phone.

So far so good.. I was having a very difficult time getting good speeds in my basement. I tired the eero 6E Pro - 3 pack and it did not solve the issues. I exchanged that purchase for this 3 pack system and it is a massive improvement..
With the eero, I was getting about 200 mbps download from my 1gig internet plan. With the Orbi 770 - 3 pack, I am getting between 450-500 down in the basement. The Satellites for the 770 were placed in the exact same locations as the eero's were.
Overall I am happy with this system. Even better is that it was on sale for $800.. A bit more than I wanted to spend but since it solved my basement issue, I am happy with the purchase.

I upgraded from a NETGEAR Nighthawk to the ORBI 770 series mesh router with two satellites. Installation was fairly simple and straightforward after I contacted my ISP to change the MAC ID of my router. I’m extremely pleased with the enhanced coverage area and the ease at which devices switch between router and satellites based on signal strength. The transition is seamless and unnoticeable on the device. I also experienced an 18 mbps increase in speed on download and a 5 mbps increase on upload. So far I’m very happy with the ORBI 770.
