I’ve tested a lot of Wi-Fi gear over the years, but the Orbi system has been the only one that fixed my dead zones instantly. Setup was fast, the app is super clean, and once it was running, the whole house got strong, consistent signal — even with multiple kids streaming, gaming, and my own work devices connected. Zero drops, zero buffering.
Speeds went up, range improved, and it just works. If you’re tired of messing with Wi-Fi problems, this is the one.

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.

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.
Regards, NETGEAR Team

The Orbi 770 was a breeze to setup, at most it took me 20 minutes and I had everything back up and running. The mesh setup provided by metro net did not work well at all, I constantly had lost connections on everything I had connected to the internet especially on the second floor. With the Orbi I have had interruptions any where in the house

We purchased and installed this mesh system to upgrade and replace our first gen Google mesh system. We have a 5000sq ft house and had to purchase 2 additional satellite units as well. Install was a breeze. The app is also nice and will show signal strength to devices so you can change around your satellite points. Only con - the size of the satellite units are quite large. We were use to the smaller Google points that are easy to tuck away out of sight - not the Orbi units. Overall a great buy!

This orbi system works at speeds we’re paying for but just know the free armor security protection (30 days enabled by default) will throttle your speed. We noticed the xbox game console was having high packet loss and high latency and low download speeds, researched and found this security setting via orbi app, settings > security > disable armor protection. Immediately speeds went up and after 24 hours was back to blazing fast over ethernet. Wifi is definitely faster using 6E connection (iphone settings > wifi > Information button (I) next to current connection > wifi 6E mode (believe this only works for iphone 15 and higher). Using the wireless backhaul is average speed connection, but much faster linking satellites using ethernet. Overall, this is a good mesh system.

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.

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...

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.
