Customer Ratings & Reviews

prior to this system I we had a single router with little range and limited device capabilities. it was impossible to run a smart home and frustrating when our cameras kept going offline. after upgrading to the orbit system were able to hold 54 devices online with out any issues there aren't any dead spots at home and most importantly we can have wifi and control our outdoor speaker from the yard and all our smart home devices maintain wifi connection and haven't had a single drop in connection. truly life changing and gave us huge peace at mind knowing that our home is always covered.

Excellent product. Easy to follow instructions. Speed test shows 950mbps on both uplink and downlink directions (we have 1gbps internet service to our home)

I upgraded from an older orginal Orbi system to WiFi 6 AX6000 Tri-Band Mesh Model RBK853-100NAS (and NETGEAR CM2050V). Setup was a breeze with no issues and definitely have a power house system! Well pleased!

They are a little large, but look good. They retain speed and allow me to cover the entire 1/4 acre property with ease.

My new Netgear Orbi AX6000 Mesh WiFi System increased my download and upload capabilities to amazing speeds. It was relatively easy to set up. The Geek Squad did a great job but we did hit some minor snags getting it online. The internal firewalls with Orbi have been problematic, some of my streaming apps are blocked. Customer service was NOT helpful! Major Bummer!!

I did my research before settling on these powerhouses, and I’m not regretting my purchase one bit! These give double to triple the speeds in the far corners of my house, and I have absolutely no dead zones. If you’re on the fence about getting these, just get them. It’s a costly investment, but you’ll be set for years. Highly recommend. Just make sure to get a modem that can handle the speeds these can. I went with a nighthawk cm2000.

Great set of wifi6 routers. Its a bit pricey. The reason for 4 stars. Other than that no complaints, love the speed and easiness of setup.

Easy and fast setup. No longer does my equipment or phones disconnect. My phones now reach almost to the mail box outside.

The system was very easy to set up. The mobile app works well. The coverage is good, although hampered a bit by walls and metal objects like water heaters, ovens, and washing machines. Moving from one part of the house to another is a joy - there is no dropped connection, each unit seamlessly picks up from the other. I have a two storey house, total square footage around 3,600 feet, and I am contemplating getting a fourth unit to strengthen signal in my garage/workshop. The system is pricey but my experience so far is flawless.

Been very happy with the Orbi WiFi 6. Our home has roughly 80 devices connected at all times (mostly IOT devices). All of our devices have stayed connected without issue. The 3 unit set is probably overkill for our home but we are getting 700 Mbps throughout the house consistently. Setup was very issue through the mobile app. My only tiny complaint is the mobile app is just ok. Gives you the basic needs but a few more options would have been great. Maybe that will be fixed in future updates to the app.

This is the second Orbi router I've bought. I bought it to replace and Eero Pro that was very disappointing in almost every aspect - performance (speed), admin interface, flexibility, etc. This is a worthy successor to the original Orbi - covers my house quite well, excellent speed, good control interface. Setup was easy, and with a few minutes of planning, the disruption to my home network was less than 2 minutes. The only "fly in the ointment" is the price - a bit expensive, but, as they say "You get what you pay for"

I was out of town, and my wife was home when our existing mesh router mysteriously died. I ordered this one because A) we’ve had good experience with Netgear products in the past, and B) it was available at our nearest Best Buy, so that my wife would not have to endure too much down time from work. Usually I’m the one who installs most of the tech stuff in our house, but with me out of town at the time, my wife had to do the installation herself. Her installation complaints were that the initial set up required her to download an app on her phone, which meant that without existing WiFi, she had to use some of our cellular data to do so. She said that the installation hit a snag about midway through, but she was able to complete the installation via regular web interface. When I got home a few days later, I was able to fine tune the installation to my particular preferences (e.g., guest network, custom DNS, etc.) All in all, it’s been working well since then (about a month now). I’ma tad upset that it was as expensive as it was, and that our prior Orbi mesh satellites are not compatible with this router.

I had the latest Google Nest wifi mesh with 3 points and added a 4th. The wifi signal was continually dropping. Perhaps interference with other signals or walls? Switched to Orbi and what a difference. Stable signal. FAST! Latency ping tests are steady and very quick. We have zoom meetings all day. Gaming on multiple xbox's. Streaming TV. Never an issue. Highly recommend over Google Nest.

[Employee of bestbuy] Don’t hesitate. Get this mesh router. Easy to set up. And IT WORKS! All day and night, 24/7. Speeds up to 6G, thats fast. Anything over 500mbps is good for me but who doesn’t like more speed. Very realible too.

I have been trying to set up reliable internet at my house for two years. The house size is two stories and about 5400 square feet. This has made it a challenge to get reliable internet on both floors and on the sides. We also have a firestick we use for an outdoor television. At first I had the Netgear Nighthawk and it seemed to work ok. Then about 6 months ago it kept getting kicked off the network and the mesh component didn't seem to work well. I would show connected but no internet on several devices. As I use Uverse, I then purchased 6 of their own wireless extenders that are quoted as a mesh network thinking maybe their gateway didn't play nice with other companies. These were awful. About 3 weeks ago I purchased the Orbi AX6000. It was expensive but the headaches I had from losing internet/streaming for the rest of the family are gone now. We have not had any dropped streaming devices (fire sticks and iPads). The computers have connected without issue. I no longer show connected but no internet. This is probably the best purchase I have made for the electronics in the house. It was expensive but definitely worth it for me.

These things are HUGE and take up some space! Who wants to wall mount and run a wire down the wall. The fit better on a shelf or table. Pretty pricey for a mesh system even if it is wifi-6. The signal doesn't seem to be as strong as my other Linksys system that was wifi-5. The system seems to do it's job of keeping one uninterrupted network but when you go outside the Linksys works and the Orbi Pro AX6000 seems to falter and they are in the same spots.

Pros: 1. Range is excellent. Getting around 650mbps down anywhere around my 1000sq home 2. Honestly doesn't look very much like a router 3. Setup took less than 5 and that was including a software update 4. App is simple, but intuitive. Anyone can easily learn how to use it 5. Each orbi has LAN ports and link aggregation 6. Channel optimization (important for those that life in area where there's congestion) Cons: 1. Price. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for 2. Can't separate bands 3. It's got a noticeable footprint as does the power adapter Overall thoughts: Would definitely recommend this to a friend, however I really did wish they would have the option to separate the bands. Would've helped my Ring cameras + smart lock have stronger signal, but I ended up buying bridges for them separately. The performance exceeded my expectations. Thought that it would top out at around 450mbps-500mbps.

I tried to not to write reviews until I'm sure the product works, specially if you are spending lot of money for a WiFi product, in this case the money is totally worth spending. I have a 2 story house and omg the WiFi signal... Tried new router, extenders, wall extenders....but this Orbi solved all my problems, not a dead zone, fast speed everywhere in the house.

Holy WiFi Batman! These things work as advertised. I purchased this set to get internet from my house to my garage and then to my barn. They work flawlessly. I get gig speeds through my wifi even in my other buildings. I actually tried a few other brands and even different netgear models before deciding on these. I couldn't be happier. My only complaint is the interface looks 20 years old but you really never need to look at it. I highly recommend them.

At nearly $1000 this router definitely felt like quite the stretch money-wise, but it’s simply fantastic. It’s unbelievable how fast WiFi speeds are now in the house. If you have a 2-story home save a couple hundred bucks and go with the 2-pack, but be sure to have a 3-pack for a 3 story home! I tried a 2-pack first, but exchanged it quickly for this one and now it’s perfect.
