Customer Ratings & Reviews

I decided to splurge on this device and was definitely worth the money. It’s an even better experience if you are able to hardwire the satellite to the router directly like I have to give the system the most stable connection as well as the fastest speeds. I can easily pull 600 megs on an iPhone and with the WiFi 6 technology, I am set for the future when that technology becomes more open and predominant among devices. Also, having a tri band router can help WiFi traffic when you have a high traffic household. In addition, the app is easy to use, but I do find myself using the desktop version as I can access the more advanced settings and set it to what I like. Definitely recommend. I do wish the price was lower but you get what you pay for, especially with the most recent technology.

Setup was a breeze, my devices connect faster, and have a stonger/faster signal. My old AC router used to stutter on 4k streams; with the RBK852 I have zero stuttering and zero buffering streaming 4k content.

This product works great highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

The Orbi is the worst product and support experience I’ve ever had. The connection randomly just turns off. Netgear sent me a new router and then it wouldn’t work with the existing Orbi satellites. Hold times for Orbi support are over an hour. I really wish it was not past the return period or I would return it all. Best Buy should stop selling this as it is junk.

I would love to rate this correctly when it’s installed correctly by Best Buy. Right now to many dead spots in a 3500 square foot home. For the price tag and geek squad setup I’m not a happy customer.

I had tried all kinds of routers and mesh devices and this bad boy works amazing speeds and signal. Very pricy but it work’s very good. Don’t waste your time trying other mesh devices pull the trigger on this one.

Had to reset it a few times since I've had it, but overall I am very pleased with the coverage I have. I have one in the basement and the other on the main floor.

The best mesh system in the market hands down. Cheers

This router was extremely easy to set up. I have no dead zones, and this has given me the fastest connection I have ever experienced. I like that it produces a “guest network” too.

If you want faster internet speed here's the device for you. Consumer reports also recommend this product. Works very well. We have many many devices on our wifi and his makes it even faster then ever!

This is by far the best Wi-Fi experience that I ever had. I'm finally able to fully utilize the speeds offered by my service provider. The system is expensive however I believe that it is well worth it.

I added these to my router. A few minutes later, they were no longer visible and struggled to get them reset. I returned these and went to Eero

Easy install. Speed as advertised. A good choice.

Don’t hesitate to purchase this system, it’s extremely fast and does not drop signal anywhere in a two story house. Even gives fast speeds outside of home with no drop.

The Wifi 6 system is outstanding. the range and quality is above average. Yes the price is extremely high, but you are definitely getting a high quality system that's well worth it.

My older (non WiFi 6) based system was beginning to crawl as I kept adding more IoT devices tot eh network. This new Netgear WiFi 6 system is great. Really good coverage and speed!

this system is great. super easy to setup and it works great. the 1 GIG internal network is fantastic! also love that it can support up to 500MB but for the time I am at 200MB. would highly recommend to anyone!

I have eero mesh pro and the connection is really great. Out of curiosity, I tried Orbi it is great, It gave me a very high connection but it keeps dropping in a single day. the consistency is poor

If running in AP mode and connecting to another router there is no distinction between the two networks if you want to firewall them. A simple vlan separating the two would be a simple solution but Netgear support has ignored all requests for this solution. Agree this is not a beginner configuration but many advanced users need mesh networks as home wiring is typically insufficient. I now need another satellite but instead I'll be selling this set and will buy another brand's "advanced" mesh router.

I can say I’m honestly disappointed in this setup. If I was in my return window I would probably return it after all of the frustration I’ve had with it. For being a top of the line router system I really expected more. I’ve tried it with two separate cable modems from different manufacturers and I’m constantly restarting them trying to pull more speed. The setup has a built in speed test to test the speed from the modem to the router. Most of the time the test tells you there is no connection, even though you’re connected, and then you’re not sure if it’s the routers that’s under performing or the modems. When it does work it shows well over a gig connection from the modem to router but just 10 feet away you might only get 300mbps. At other times it will pull 800 mbps. I’ve tried working with Orbi support and they are completely useless. Everything is, “restore your modem to factory settings.” That seems to solve some issues but then when you try to optimize the channels on your 2.5 and 5 ghz networks it resets your wifi password adding strange characters to the end so you then have to hard wire back into the system and reset the password. The coverage of the devices does seem fairly solid, but getting consistency is a real pain in the rear end.
