    These are not to bad. Needed to move them around to get the best coverage. Not sure I'd say they are a full 5k sqft coverage but definitely good for 3k sqft. Not sure how future proof they are yet as I don't have WiFi 6 stuff yet but for for speeds they give some nearly perfect WiFi speeds.

    Excellent upgrade from the traditional single router. We previously had major dead spots in the house. This mesh system has done away with problematic connections in our home. Our network file transfers with our NAS and other internal services are now rock solid and perform predictably well. Excellent upgrade.

    The Orbi Whole Home mesh system completely solved our network challenges. With more and more devices added to the network it was becoming slow and spotty for coverage. We hit the store purchased the Orbi and was up and running in no time. The app set up was flawless and now all devices are running at max capacity.

    Our old Airport Extreme and Time Machine needed retiring. After much reviewing and searching we settled on the Netgear Orbi AX6000. Amazing! We now enjoy wifi outdoors and indoors at around 200mbps over the wifi! Which is incredible compared to the 50mbps we got on the old equipment. I would recommend this system without hesitation!

    I want to start by saying I've owned the Google wifi second generation. I had issues with online gaming and game stuttering. I changed it to this and I the online game studdering went away. My entire house has great wifi and I can honestly say I don't have any issues with it. The game streaming with this is amazing!

    Best Buy was great. Shipping company awful. Package never showed up, shipping co wanted to argue. I had to cancel shipment and drive 70 miles round trip to pick it up from Best Buy, who again were wonderful. Orbi system is good. Not much signal here, but did speed Wifi up a little.

    This was a pain to set up at first bit after calling customer service for help it went smoothly. This is great for large homes 4000sq or larger as my other signal continually dropped while I was working. I have had no internet issues since we installed this. The initial setup was a pain but after that it made life so much easier!!

    I decided to buy this product because, according to a review, this was the best performing WiFi 6 mesh system in the market. Installation was quick and straightforward and it is performing better than I expected. On the downside, it is quite expensive. I guess, you get what you pay for. No regrets.

    Set up in 15 minutes and covered 5.5k sqft with the 2 pack Orbi AX6000. Very happy with the speed and coverage. Will be looking to expand to cover more outdoor space when available. Highly recommend the product and recommend spending the extra bucks compared to others if seriously interested in 1gb speeds in a large area.

    We replaced our existing router with the Orbi router and satellite. The router is in the lower level of our home and the satellite is on first floor. We now have much better WiFi coverage throughout our entire home. The Orbi App really works well and allows me to view and manage the devices on the network.

    I have had the Orbi WiFi 6 AX6000 up and running for 1 month now and everything seems to work fine. The only short coming is that as of this date they have not incorporated the Disney Circle into the unit, however, I have heard that they are planning to add there own parental control instead of Circle.

    Fast speed when connected. Had lots of trouble pairing the satellite, though. Also, like most other Netgear wireless products I have tried recently, the connection will randomly drop requiring a reboot of the router. Even on the latest firmware this still has been an issue. Had to return this because it is too expensive to have this many issues. I’ll stick with my Ubiquiti AMPLIFI HD, which has been rock solid but just doesn’t support WiFi 6.

    Had a one year old mesh system and this one well worth the upgrades. Did speed tests before and after and this one scored wireless speed@ 900mbs and old system 350 that was on par with all last year I've got 12 wireless HD cameras that the playback would lag that's completely gone now.
