    I have gigabit fiber and this wireless router mesh network matches that speed. 5ghz signal not the strongest, but 2.4ghz screams.

    I was looking for a wireless mesh network for my home and this was well reviewed. I hooked it up and it just works. I am able to get great wirelsss throughput through my home now and the lower level dead zone is gone. When I do use wifi calling over my mobile phone I will notice brief pauses in call audio if I am walking out of one basestations range and int the other, but other than that the Orbi works really well.

    Great item. Really enjoy the direct Ethernet cable attached in rear up to 4. I use it for Ps5 and direct connection is slightly faster than wireless. Also have several other attached. I have total of 38 wireless items attached and doesn’t skip a beat at all. It’s pricey but I don’t intend to get a mew one anytime soon. If anything attach another satellite in future.

    I had to contact Netgear support as one of the satellites would not join the wireless network. Long story short and after 2+ hour on the phone, they determined that it was defective. First it was “take it back to the store” than when i informed it was nonreturnable at this point, they said they would issue RMA and exchange for new satellite. The RMA form did not work, they never called me back as promised and i still have a defective product here. LOUSY support and wont be purchasing Netgear again.

    This setup works. Anyone who claims otherwise should reevaluate operators error. I did find it easier to setup using my iPad though, but not necessary.

    Terrible in an old building

    When it works, the connection and experience is great. Living in an older building with constant issues with the ISP, these are an absolute nightmare. The devices refuse to connect back to my modem, and if it’s an extended outage, it resets itself. The app needs to be improved as well, as the CONSTANT popups for their add on services are frustrating with opening the app while troubleshooting. I moved from Linksys after some security issues, and hoped the higher price tag was worth it. I’m sorely mistaken.

    I bought this pkg for my son who is now working from home who had so many connection issues , especially in his upstairs rooms. I had purchased probably 2 or 3 other routers that never seem to help but this Netgear Orbi AX6000 2 unit system solved his problem. He claims he now is getting WiFi speeds faster than what he pays for with absolutely no dropped connections. Pricey for sure but worth it .
