    Would not purchase again. Bought to replace 5 year old netgear nighthawk equipment. This was not a upgrade, coverage is not better and intermittent connectivity is a issue. Will drop on some things but not other then vice versa while sitting beside each other and connected the same way. Netgears customer service of no help, should have returned but now stuck and wasted over $900.00. Will probably install old equipment back and use these for paper weights.

    The absolute worst router you can buy. I had a Netgear router. I am an upgrade but an absolute disgrace. I barely have a 1700 square-foot house and this is supposed to cover 2300 feet, and it just does not reach areas of my house where I never had a problem before On top of all that I get constant droppers, the constant outages, and is somebody who works from home I need Wi-Fi reliability and this thing is absolutely not reliable, especially for the price that I paid.

    After installing this in our house, our data usage with Xfinity spiked. First time in 3 years being notified about going over our 1.2 terabyte plan per month. We don’t use nearly that much data. Max in 3 years was 800 GB in a month. Once this was installed it went up to 1.1 terabytes in half a month. Definitely don’t recommend this product. We switch to eero pro 6e for much cheaper and has a better performance. It also allows you to see how much data each connected device is using unlike Orbi. So if the issue continues at least I can figure out what is causing it.

      Hi FordGuyYT,

      Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with your RBE773. A sudden spike in data usage when installing an Orbi router could be due to background apps, automatic updates, or location services. These can cause unexpected data usage as applications run in the background and constantly check for updates, sync data, and refresh content. With the Orbi App, you can pause the internet for any connected device at the push of a button. This helps to reduce bandwidth consumption, save power, and avoid unknown or unwanted internet usage. For more information on this topic, we recommend visiting this NETGEAR Blog post on how to easily manage your RBE773 with the NETGEAR Orbi App: https://www.netgear.com/hub/wifi/mesh/orbi-app-manage-mesh-wifi-system/#:~:text=With%20the%20Orbi%20App%2C%20you%20can%20pause%20the%20internet%20for,and%20keep%20them%20safe%20online.

      We'd greatly appreciate any additional feedback if the steps provided helped to resolve the We would like to follow up with the issue with Data Usage you have been experiencing.

    So far i've got a lot of time in spacing these out correctly. My wife has an office here at home and she said she had many drops from her work. Never had this problem with the orbi 50 and satellites. I upgraded because I've had these 10 years. Will see what happens. Will be taking it back if it does not stay solid.

      Hi Rlanderson33,

      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 are still experiencing connection issues with your RBE773 even after speaking with Support. When experiencing an issue with disconnections, we recommend a few troubleshooting steps including ensuring your Router and Satellites are on the latest firmware v10.5.20.3, performing a full power cycle of both your Modem and Orbi WiFi system unplugging the ethernet cable from your RBE773 router to the modem. After waiting about 10 minutes, please then reconnect your RBE773 Router to your modem and allow them to re-sync. After this, it is also recommended to re-sync your RBE773 Router and Satellites beginning in the same room and moving out to their intended destinations. For more information on these, please visit the following links: https://kb.netgear.com/000068431/, as well as: https://kb.netgear.com/31018/How-do-I-sync-my-Orbi-router-and-satellite.

    Horrible! I spent 4 hours of my time. Then 1 hour with orbi tech support including 30 minutes with spectrum cable. Brand new spectrum cable modem working perfectly. Could never get the $850 orbi router to connect to the internet. Tried everything 25 times. The most frustrating experience in a very long time. This product is not ready for public use. Stay clear.

      Hi Doubles,

      Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback and we want you to know that your experience is important to us. We are sorry to hear that you are having a difficult experience with your RBE773 broadcasting the SSID. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with your RBE773. We recommend performing some troubleshooting steps including a full power cycle of both your Modem and Orbi RBE773 and allowing everything to power on for a few minutes. After your Orbi WiFi System has come back online, if able, connect a computer directly to your RBE773 with an ethernet cable, launch a web browser and navigate to http://orbilogin.com. After logging in, we recommend checking to see if your RBE773 Router and Satellites are on the most recent firmware, v10.5.19.5: https://kb.netgear.com/000067270/. If not, we recommend performing a manual firmware update using the instructions in the following link: https://kb.netgear.com/31573/How-do-I-manually-upgrade-firmware-on-my-Orbi-router-using-orbilogin-com.

      Another step we recommend taking is to factory reset your RBE773. To do so, please visit the following resource: https://kb.netgear.com/31486/How-do-I-reset-my-Orbi-system-to-factory-default-settings?language=en_US.

    DO NOT BUY unless you want an expensive white pape

    One of the best deals in the industry.  3 paperweights for the price of 1, Just for $1000.  /s Such a huge disappointment and failure.  Worked for the first 5 weeks and then started experiencing random connection drops (dead internet) from 5 -25 minutes. It occurred multiple times in the day. Performed all the standard troubleshooting reboots, reset to factory settings,  upgrading to all the latest updates but was unable to fix the issue. Called my ISP and got my modem reset/rebooted multiple times to ensure that it was not the ISP fault. I was able to confirm that it was not a modem/ISP issue. See below I went back to my almost 5 year old RBR750 and everything is rock solid and stable. No issues. No connection drops at all.  It has been more than 30 days so Best Buy or Netgear will not accept my return.  Biggest mistake to trust Netgear with such an expensive purchase. I want my money back.

    I got this because i wanted to upgrade my speeds to wifi 7 and have stronger connections throughout my house. Coming from orbi 850 i was excited for it. My mistake… these are absolute junk and nothing but issues. Between random drops to apple tv remotes on my phone almost never connecting to random lag while gaming i decided to return. Ive now moved on to a different company since orbi isnt the same. Btw my orbi 850 never gave me any issues until they broke at the end. Im not sure what they did different in these new models but everyone should look elsewhere

    Do not buy this system. I was sailing with our 6e system getting the 1,000 Mbps we are paying for. Then I set this one up, and our speeds went down to 5 Mbps. We have brand new Apple Products including the newest iPhones and iPads and my phone went from having 989 Mbps to 6. Called support, we tested the speed wired, it was only 650 Mbps we pay for Fiber, and they told me to take it back. They also told me to buy the 970 as the 770 is new and they only made it for those not wanting to spend the 2,500 on the other WiFi 7 system. Luckily we are Total Tech Members so I now have to decide if I want a credit or I want to buy a beefier WiFi 6 system since this one is just not there. I am also contemplating buying the 970 but now have fear I will wind up in the same stimulation. Bottom line, do not buy this system.
