In need of stronger signals

I have used NetGear products in the past, and always have had excellent results. We had out past router for over 9 years! We have a fairly large home with multiple levels, and we had found that we were lacking signal in a few areas. I did some research on the Mesh systems available, and decided upon the Orbi 770 from NetGear. It was very easy to set up, and has an available phone app which really works well. In my case, we have very strong signals throughout our home, plus it reaches the garage and deck with excellent signal as well. All of our connected divices are working well, so I am very happy with this purchase.

These satellites work as advertised. They cover my 2600 ft home with no dead spots. I called Netgear for help with installation & was up & running within an hour.

The system works very well for us. We have faster speeds with this setup compared to our old outdated Orbi system. We get great coverage for the entire house and outside spaces.

I had an existing Orbi AC1300 system with 2 satellites. I put the new 770 devices in the exact same spots in my house (which does have some brick interior walls) and had nothing but problems... slow speeds, weak signal, questionable handoffs, etc. Had huge problems connecting Nintendo Switches and older WPA2 devices. I'm returning the 770 and rolling with my reliable 2018 Orbi until I decide if the 970 will be any better.
Updated 11-5-24: A trial Firmware v10.5.10.184 is available for RBE771/RBE770 to address connectivity issues on IoT devices. Please reach out to us at [email protected] for more information.
If you need any additional assistance with either your RBE773 or if you have returned it for the Orbi 970, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.

One satellite has poor connectivity with the router. After a month of discussions with Netgear's tech support they agreed it is defective. Now they want me to buy a box and pay for return shipping, even though it is under warranty. Poor customer service from the manufacturer. My old orbi router had better connectivity. Too late to return to BB.

Not a reliable product, handshakes between satellite and router is very poor, have to turn on and off almost all my devices everytime i use them, i had orbi 6 prior to this and it was much better and reliable. After two months of emails and calls Netgear failed to fix it.

I wanted wifi in my shop to be a bit stronger. This is the was to go. Now my entire home and shop have very strong wifi. I find Netgear to be the most user friendly set up ever.

Very happy with this purchase...! Gone from 30mb in the house to 1.3gb and have consolidated three wifi networks to one. Google home cameras, streaming TVs, phones, tablets and laptops, and even some IoT... no problem! A bit pricy but worth the massively improved bandwidth. Tip: make sure you have the latest modem hardware from your provider to ensure top internet speeds too...

I didn't have a good experience with these Orbis. For some reason or other they kept dropping the Wi-Fi signal and they were connected though backhaul wire. I tried everything, changed all wiring to cat 6A, all switches to NetGear gigabit ports and switched out modem, I returned for a new set and had the same issues. That's why the 1 Star. I purchase TP Link Triband and it was quick and easy.
Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback and we want you to know that your experience is important to us. We're sorry to hear that you had problems with your WiFi signal dropping while connected to your RBE773 and have already returned it.

Best Mesh WiFi Network I’ve Seen!

I have used other Mesh systems in the past, and I’ve been very disappointed. The speed was greatly diminished away from the main router. But, The Orbi system is showing speeds at the far end of our house that are similar to the speeds in the room that houses the modem and router. I’m very impressed.

Bought them since getting to know the TP Link are no good which I have been using since a longtime. They are easy to install and I see a difference in these WiFi 7 WiFi mesh then the WiFi 6 I was using before.

Very easy to set up. Upgraded from previous Netgear router. The satellites do help compared to the old extenders. So far great speeds throughout the house which is 2600 sq. ft.
