    Previously had smaller NETGEAR router with extender that caused problems with my printer and was relatively slow with all the devices we had connected. Printer problems fixed with the ORBI and speeds are so much faster especially streaming on the TV. Very easy to setup and zero issues with any of our devices. 2 pods easily covering 3500 sq ft. A bit on the expensive side but worth it.

    Paying $600 made me a bit hesitant but I also wanted to be covered for the future if my family moves out or we upgrade our internet. I don't regret buying these, our router is located on the basement on one corner of our house and I wasnt able to get the wifi to reach to our living room which is on the first floor on the other side of the house but now it works great and the speeds have definitely improved.

    Yup, I agree with this being the best Mesh system.

    I tried several routers, all with claims of sq footage coverage, how they reacted with walls and the usual things you must consider when buying a wireless router. None of the 3 routers, including the $500 Asus mesh, come close to this. Of you want coverage, speed and reliability, you’ve got to spend the money. Wasn’t easy for me to justify that much money, but im glad I did. You will be too. Also, dont forget your modem. Make sure its up to date and capable of the speed you want.

    Overall I'm enjoying the set. Nod really love to see we competitors features that would really help these shine. Asus has a great feature that allows you to bind your wifi devices to a specific router/satellite which is super helpful on the stubborn devices that want to connect to a further away AP rather than what is closer. Here's looking at you Chromecast with google tv

    They tend to drop connectivity with one another, but when everything is sync'd and up it's phenomenal. We have 5GB Fiber to the house, and with these we should be bale to get 2.5GB wired, but we had forgotten that the NIC's on the pc's are limited to 1GB.

    Replaced my old router with the Netgear Orbi RBK853 mesh router system and all my buffering issues went away. It took 15 minutes to position and install the new router and satellites and I was up and running. Highly recommend this router.

    Decided to spend extra money and go long with this versus the lame inexpensive and irritatingly uncooperative we returned. The setup here is streamlined and a breeze. Prompts other devices to join. Signal strong and fast. We pay for fast internet, and now can finally use it across the house on multiple devices. Expensive but gets you ahead of the curve. This won't be obsolete even when my internet speed increases.

    I have a 1gbps line and was struggling to get 300mbps on my iPhone 11 Pro Max with the latest generation Google WiFi even when in line of sight of the main router. I now get ~900mbps everywhere around my 2100sqft multi level home. I am so glad that I bought this. I know this was expensive, but then again if you are paying for a 1gbps line you need the infra in your home to support that.

    I have been using this system for about a year now and can honestly say that this is the best purchase I've made when it comes to wireless routers. prior to owning this I heard nothing but complaints about our service. since installing this system, I haven't heard one complaint. Cost a small fortune, but it's worth its weight in gold.

    I seen this product advertised on YouTube while surfing for a better router. Once I got the product home from Best Buy it was everything they said it was. Easy set up and my downloads and uploads are just as fast on wifi as they were using my LAN. I purchased it because of the satellite extender with ethernet capability. So far I absolutely love it. Well done.

    I live in a condo and the walls prevents good speed in my bedroom so I decided to try out this mesh router. I know this mesh system is a bit of overkill, however it resolves my issue and now I have great connection and speed in the bedroom. the device is aesthetically pleasing and provides the speed im paying for each month. With the app it was a 5mins setup and easy to use.

    The Orbi system was easy to set up and get working. Only had one problem with connecting a couple chromebooks. Had to call in to technical help and get their assistance to change a couple obscure settings. I was surprised that there wasn't a more automatic fix for that problem. After that no problems. Good coverage throughout the house. Internet tends to not drop out as much.
