This solved a number of compatibility and stability problems that related to two buildings (one metal) and distance across the property. I am impressed how far the WiFi coverage reaches out into the back lot. The older system had trouble with an AC powerline WiFi extender, simply would not get internet. I decided to future proof to 7 even though 6 is the newest WiFi I have. The one nit I have is that when a power cut happens, one satellite does not come back sometimes and needs a separate power cycle to come back online. I would worry that if we were not here and there was a power bump, some of the WiFi security cameras would not be able to connect afterward.

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.

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 tried setting this up using the app (Android) and had repeated issues. Eventually I found out you can navigate to the admin interface via the browser and do setup there. Once I did that everything worked smoothly. Connection quality is far superior to my Google Nest Wifi Pro, many more options for control. App still has day-to-day use issues, but everything works great on the admin interface. No issues since setup was complete!

We had to put the main line for the internet in a corner of the house. This does a good job of beaming the signal across the rest of our place (~2300 sq ft + 2 car garage). Sometimes my devices won't connect to a particular access point even when it's in the same room, which can be frustrating. Overall, it's been consistent enough for me to WFH (6+ Zoom/Meet calls a day). Would buy again.

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.

My home is 3 levels that I used a Velop 6 mesh System with 8 nodes feed from an 1 gig ATT router. Speeds were ok but not great, id have to reboot the system weekly as the nods always lost signal. 2, weeks ago I upgraded to a mesh 7 system with 3 nodes.What a disappointment! I finally broke down and changed over to the NetGear Orbi 7 mesh system with one router and two satellites. OMG I had speeds of 700 from the furtherest satellite. I purchased an additional satellite just for onedesd spot. This is the system I needed from day one. Don't hesitate to purchase this system, it's worth its weight in gold!!!

Finally getting the actual speeds I pay for. It's extremely fast, and when I say extreme I mean that. My steam deck has never gotten more than 40Mbps on the old RB20 and now it's getting the full 500Mbps from my satellite. I got this expensive ( yes I know it's expensive) to future proof, plus I'm moving soon.
The big test was online gaming. Son played from a Ps5 while I was on my laptop, and two other family members were streaming. It didn't skip one bit.

We have a 4200 ft house and no other router system would allow us to receive the speeds that we were actually paying for from our internet provider. We tried three other routers and none of them were able to handle the square footage of our house and allow us to enjoy the internet speeds available to us. We are so excited to have a router that is able to cover the square footage. I highly recommend this router if you have a lot of square footage to cover.

Bought this to replace another Orbi system that extenders wouldn’t sync up after 1 year. Bought a brand new one and had a faulty extender right out of the box. Then after hrs on the phone with customer care purchased a replacement for that system. Received the second one got it up and running, returned the first system for a refund. Everything is working well now after 1 month.

Orbi 770 - Great wireless mesh solution. Easily offered extended range in our 8,000 square foot home - 3 levels. Placed one on each floor. No disruption in 1 gig bandwidth. Super easy set up - connectivity and network management. This appears to outperform our previous Eero set up.

The easiest set-up and install ever. The instructions are bery clear. The app is simple to use. I have a 2-story basement 4,000 sqft home. Wifi coverage with an Apple Time Capsule was spotty. Now I have 500 GB coverage (my current internet cable subscription) through the whole home. I also love the security features. I paid the premium for a better and easier to use product, absolutely worth it!

The Orbi 770 was a huge upgrade to my home network. I now got signal all over my 3,600 sq ft home and in the back yard. My downloads went from about 150 mbps to over 600 maps. My uploads went from 7 maps to over 40 maps. Great investment and future proofed my home network for several years.

I bought the Eero Pro 6E as well as the Orbi 770 to try them both out. I set the Eero system up first and it was an absolute breeze. I had it up and running in less than 15 minutes.
The Orbi 770 system was an absolute nightmare to set up. After spending 3 hours on the phone with customer service I still could not get it to connect to my isp. They told me they needed to escalate my case to a tier 2 tech and I would receive a call from them. Well, I finally received a call from them 2 days later and spent 4 hours on the phone with them. They were no help. Finally called my isp and had them on the phone with Orbi (Netgear) support and we did eventually get it setup. However, after one brief power outage both satellites disconnected and I could not get them reconnected and I was NOT about to call customer support again.
I promise I'll wrap this long review up with just a few closing notes.
The Orbi did have really good coverage and speeds. I have 1 gig internet and with Eero I was getting download speeds on my iphone 15 pro max of 680mbps, with the Orbi it was 770mbps.
However, with all of the issues setting up the Orbi and then the satellites losing connection, I decided the Orbi was just not worth it and returned it to Best Buy and I am very happy with the Eero Pro 6E mesh system.

Brand response from Netgear Support

Hi ChrisC,
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 a negative experience with your RBE773 while installing, the Satellites disconnecting after a power outage as well as your Support Experience and have already returned your RBE773.
If your Orbi satellites are disconnected after a power outage, it's because they need to be re-synced with the main Orbi router; simply power cycle your entire Orbi network by unplugging both the router and satellites, then plugging them back in, and press the "Sync" button on both the router and each satellite within a couple of minutes to re-establish the connection. For more information, please visit the following resources: https://kb.netgear.com/000038805/How-do-I-power-cycle-my-Orbi-network, as well as: https://kb.netgear.com/31018/How-do-I-sync-my-Orbi-router-and-satellite.
If you decide to repurchase the RBE773 or any other NETGEAR product and have any issues, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.
