Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Orbi 850's coverage, setup, ease of use, range, performance, and signal strength, frequently citing these aspects as positive experiences. However, some customers express concerns regarding the system's price point and occasional connection issues. A few users also mention limitations with parental controls and compatibility with certain devices. The size of the units is another area where some customers have voiced preferences for a more compact design.

    Had issues getting other expensive routers to work as advertised. Finally a product that delivers the speeds I pay for.

    I can’t believe I got talked into spending this much money on a wireless mesh system but wow am I glad I did. We have had Fios “up to 1 gigabit” for more than a year but have struggled to stream, zoom, and keep gaming steady. I was days from spending the money to add ethernet outlets in several places for the TVs and my home office. NO need!! Every device in the house can exceed 500mbps wirelessly!! I can get 100mbps from my mailbox!!!

    It works very well and as advertised. I live in a 5100 sq ft house. Due to the way my house is set up, I needed to place the main router in the middle of the house. This forced me to place the one satellite at front of the house. The very back of the house does not get full coverage likely due to the distance and many walls it needs to pass through. It still gives me decent coverage but I have gone ahead and ordered a second satellite for the rear. Overall great product.

    Orbi app is most disappointing thing about this product. All other mesh systems, even tp link decco has better app than netgear orbi.

    I was looking for something to replace my nest mesh network. I would only get around 100 mbps w/o a wired backhaul on a 1 gbps connection. I get around 400 mbps with this router. Very fast but a couple downsides. - The security functionality has to be disabled in an app not the webview. - Some things that shouldn't require a reboot, require a reboot. - It's a little buggy, but once you have the router set up, no issues.
