    I bought many many meshes. I just got sick and tired of trying to find something that covered our whole house 2,400sq. This has been perfect very happy the purchase. Love the app a lot if you tried google Wi-Fi and hated its app and system you will definitely love this. Gaming across the house getting great speeds no drops. For the kids they are happy, one feature that is lacking is parental controls to lock kids devices after certain time on school nights.

    The Orbi system works well, a bit on the pricey side but when WiFi 6 is more widespread it will be there and ready. There are some caveats to the system. Most home security cameras don't get along well. Ours from Brinks needed a separate dedicated access point in the form of another router I had laying around.

    The setup of the Orbi system was super fast with the guided app steps. I am blown away at the network speed compared to my service provider’s router. The mesh system makes it so I have excellent coverage no matter where I am in my house with no dead spots, or signal drops when moving from room to room. I highly recommend this system!

    Pricey, but so far have increased speeds and strong wi-fi signals. Was looking for a replacement from a set of AirPort Extremes, due to dropped connections from my outdoor camera and video doorbell and haven’t lost the connection since using the Orbi and have the comfort of future-proofing for a bit w/ Wi-Fi 6. I turned in an old router to get a 15% discount. Also recommend setting up the routers together before setting them in their final location to ease set up.

    I purchased a competitor mesh that most loved but I had swapped that system out 3 times before finally deciding to try something else. I landed on this unit and have had no regrets

    Upgraded to the Orbi WI-FI 6 after having an older Orbi setup. This system does a great job providing top speeds for my gigabit internet. Coverage is amazing too. My old system struggled reaching a couple rooms, but this system provides full coverage with no issues!

    So much faster than the WiFi from my providers system. Easy to set up but some hiccups in trying to use my existing networks name. Guests now get their own network. Expensive but worth it so far. It appears to get the speed we pay for throughout the house

    So glad we purchased this mesh system. The dropped wifi problems that had been plaguing have all but gone away (there is still an occasional blip, but that's due to our provider). We have 20 devices using the internet in our home, so we definitely needed to spread out the signal using this mesh system. For $270 it was well worth it, especially since we work from home and depend on excellent Internet service.

    I purchased this to enhance my WiFi as the ISP Router was not providing adequate coverage nor consistent speed throughout my home. I am extremely happy with this product. The installation was a quick and east process and the performance of the network is remarkable. The speed is unmatched along with the convenience of the associated app make this a win win in my book. I highly recommend it and have already done so with my colleagues for their homes.

    Amazing connection and speed. Streaming between devices is great and wifi 6 has made it so i no longer need to mess with 2.4 and 5ghz signals or interference with other wifi. It does it all automatically and its surprisingly good at it too.

    I went through 4 different mesh wifi solutions before deciding it was time to just bite the bullet and spend some serious coin on this... and boy am I glad I did! Excellent speeds EVERYWHERE! No dead spots in my 4 floors (I bought 2 of the 2-packs). Super easy to manage from the Orbi app. Great product
