    Easy to set up and works perfectly. Light on main unit is a little irritating.

    Best WiFi I’ve ever had! Speed is incredible and easily enough bandwidth even running a full smart home with 30 devices. Was also super impressed with the range especially with the mesh system. Highly recommend this to anyone who needs speed or is building a smart home.

    If youre a gamer this is a must! Still have some issues with the signal but overall its a lot better. Im able to hardwire my gaming systems from one of the satelites and Ive had zero issues when I play now. Definitely worth buying

    Netgear Orbi Mesh Wifi System

    I bought this system but ended up not using it because I changed my internet provider, and they included a Wifi system with it. Nevertheless, I had previously purchased and utilized an Orbi Mesh Wifi system and it worked well (it was a less expensive version). I would advise you to do what I always do now, which is to buy the added protection plan just in case it starts freezing up on you after a year or so.

    The system was extremely quick and easy to set up in a matter of minutes. Coverage has been great throughout the house and back yard, which has not been the case with other routers even with attempting placement in different areas of a multi-level home.

    Replaced Nighthawk X8 R8500. Went from 570Mbps on previous router to over 900 Mbps consistently on wired connection. 4800 sq ft home. Satellite router upstairs previously around 200Mbps, now over 600Mbps. Only challenge was connecting an older Canon printer over Wifi, but now working great.

    Creates a dome of fact over 7500 ft.² with an integrated system, creating an API directly through my existing cable system. After being hacked, and not even noticing for nearly 10 months, this is proven to protect my whole system.

    Living in a single story home with a large foot print our Asus router was stretching its limits with its location at the front of the home. We were able to survive with little glitches but as work started demanding more Zoom meetings and the kids going to Zoom school, plus a couple of TVs that running purely on WIFI, Ipads, phones, etc., connectivity had moments where things did not work smoothly. The NG Orbi has solved those issues. Not only do I have strong coverage from the garage but all the way to the backyard and we have enjoyed the speed that it has provided. The interface was easy to use and set up. It was a steep price but a month in with daily Zoom meetings while Zoom school is going on in the other rooms I have had no glitches.

    This is hands down the best and most powerful wifi system i've ever experienced. We have a smart home with security cameras, thermostat, and way too many devices so this was much needed. Even with all the smart devices, streaming tv shows, both of my wife and I working from home, etc it never slows down. The signal also reaches to the front and backyards!
