    So it took me a little while to setup. Once it was the coverage and speed has been amazing. I went from 5 points to only these two points and it has been such a change. The price was high for these, but for me it was well worth the investment! I wish I would have made the switch faster. My other system was less than a year old and these still blew them out of the water. Don’t walk, run and grab this product if you need much better coverage and faster speeds!

    I’ve had these in place for a couple weeks now. They replace a Netgear nighthawk modem WiFi unit. I was experiencing WiFi issue because I had over 25 devices on the network. The twin units work great giving me more coverage around the house and even out to my building (200 ft away) for an Alexa. I like that these units will aloe a lot more devices to connect for future growth. Only drawback is the annual fee for the Armor protection software which protects from intrusions for the whole network.

    I upgrade to the Orbi 6 and instantly noticed a huge network improvement in speed and connection. My previous router had a hard time handling more than 50 devices online at the same time since I have smart switches all over the house. The Orbi 6 easily handles 68 of my devices with no hesitation. I have 1 Gig internet and my devices easily get 800 MB plus download speed over WiFi which is AMAZING! When using speed tests. Highly recommend the Orbi 6!

    Decided to upgrade my router due to the fact that my current one is 5 years old and the speed I was connecting at was under half of what I was paying for 400gb and getting about 160gb. Decide with the ORBI ax6000. A tad bit pricey but worth it. I now connect at about 480gb download speed. Took me a bit to get connected, but once I did I can’t believe the speed. Hopefully it will not need to be replaced for quite sometime. If you have the money but this and you won’t regret it

    so far this is the absolute BEST home wifi coverage solution we have found. 7,500SF home all on one level and now, finally, the entire dwelling is well served with wifi connectivity and functionality.

    If you have more than 40 devices this is the best unit. With this version we have zero drops or challenges being able to get online.

    Amazing coverage. We have a household with a LOT of devices and these got rid of all the issues we were having with previous wifi systems. The 6Gb back bone channel allows devices plugged in with a cable to the satellite to work as if simply plugged into a switch on the main router. Even with just a few wifi 6 devices, all wifi 5 and below devices improved connectivity as these are able to provide full speed to more devices at once.
