Great but not consistent
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Way over priced for the performance
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Very expensive, reduced functionality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These work fine, and do deliver great WiFi 6 performance, but at this insanely high price, I expected security tools and parental controls built in - and they were not. So this is just a WiFi system with no bells or whistles. If you want a more fully-featured experience, I'd go elsewhere, but if you want the fastest fast with no features other than raw speed - and you have a lot disposable funds, these are probably right up your alley.

I AM WiFi
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.MY ENTIRE BLOCK IS BLANKETED WITH MY WIFI. But seriously this is the best WiFi system I’ve ever owned. App is fantastic too. If you have a gigabit connection I highly recommend this.

Fast and Reliable
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far this system has been worth the price. It’s very fast and hasn’t dropped the connection. We get a much better signal throughout the house.

Crazy Fast Router
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m very impressed with this router. My old router couldn’t handle my 20+ devices. This one handles it with ease and incredibly fast speed. It is a bit expensive, but for me, it was well worth it.

WiFi 6 router
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the system the only gripe I have is it doesn’t work with my outside Orbi satellite. Technician stated it will be some time later before they have a outside WiFi 6 satellite.

Great Wifi Mesh System
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty easy to setup and really extended my network using a mesh unit, rather than a traditional extender that is seen as a new network. Very happy with it.

Set up in a flash and super fast WIFI with a blas!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this combo after upgrading from a Netgear NightHawk AX8 WIFI 6 router. Setup took no more than 20 min (most of the time was rebooting my Xfinity access point). The Orbi seamlessly found my prior network and gave the option to swap in the new Orbi router. Then plugged in the satellite and in 5 minutes…super snappy whole home WiFi. Not a dead spot in my home of 3 floors with the access point on the lowers (basement) floor and the satellite on the first floor. I even get perfect coverage outside of my home front and back.

Best Upgrade I Ever Made
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I updated my internet connection to a gigabit in July. I didn't see much of an improvement in speeds. My older Orbi system worked fine, but could not keep up with the traffic. I have about 46 wifi devices in my smart home with about three connections to the internet working at the same time. My wife has been teaching school virtually, and my wifi was struggling. I updated the Orbi to the AX6000 model with one satellite. Previously I had 2 satellites. The new system makes all the difference in the world. I kept the same network name and password and everything was up and working in less than 30 minutes. So far, I love the new system.

No problems so far.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installation was straightforward. No problems. Updated the firmware too. Has better range than my previous Orbi Pro- that was hosed on an auto firmware update. I like the single SSID

BEST ROUTER EVER!

Glad I took the chance on it
||Posted .

Great Connection, No Parental Controls
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this with the hope of upgrading my internet connection so that working from home would be much easier. They actual connection was fantastic, I was able to work at the same time as my wife. My child was also gaming online at the same time also, with no one of us having any difficulties. The bad part was that there was no parental controls at all for my child. There are not time limit controls or blocking abilities. This is not good when raising a 12 year old. I had to return this and I went with another brand.
