    Solid WiFi Performance

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This has improved our Wi-Fi connection throughout our home, with an easy interface. Very expensive, but the best coverage we have gotten as compared with prior systems (eero and Apple). Looking forward to additional add-ons becoming available (e.g., outdoor satellites) and functionality (profiles, Circle protection).

    Excellent blazing fast coverage

    I previously owned the 2 box setup with ac3000 boxes, and certain areas of my home wouldn’t get the best coverage. This setup with the wifi 6 is much faster and those areas of my that wouldn’t get coverage before, now do get coverage!! I truly love this product, with your every penny!

    Great Whole House WiFI System

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Always in a search for reliable, fast WiFI across the entire house, including the garage, I purchased the Orbi WiFi 6 mesh system. Setup was much easier than my previous experience with various routers, access points, and extenders. It also does a great job with speed and coverage.

    Absolutely Outstanding! We have a large house with brick and metal roof. The previous Orbi was one of the 1st mesh wifi systems and it worked but was still spotty. This new one was an investment but worth the dollars as inside and outside we have excellent coverage!

    Superb Coverage

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Pricey - you bet but worth the cost. First one did not work - second worked like a charm and took less than 10 minutes to get going! I have been able to connect the vast majority of wifi devices without too much hassle. Best speed and signal strength (download at about 940 Mbps).

    Glitchy and often requires paid for tech support

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've had this for 8 months. If you don't use any of the security options and leave it wide open, it works great. But if you want security, it is awful. In order to make it work, you need an open line to tech support, which expires well before you're need has ended. So if you're okay paying for tech support every time you want to connect a device, it's great. It's the only router I've ever had that constantly blocks my access to it requiring tech support on a regular basis. If you want something that works without constant need for paid tech support, buy something else.

    Used the iOS app to set up my Orbi WiFi 6 router with one satellite. Easiest time ever in setting up a new router system. With the satellite I have great coverage throughout the house! I highly recommend this router.

    PURE JUNK

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Got Orbi 12 years ago. GREAT product. Bought AX6000 today. WORST JUNK know to man. The programmers for this router are living in a basment and need to be FIRED. I have been running a computer business since 1999 and this is PURE junk. OMG the headache of setup and still cant get it to work. JUNK JUNK JUNK

    The Orbi boosted my WiFi speeds from 30 Mbps to 117 Mbps. It supports multiple devices streaming video simultaneously while allowing me to telework. I totally recommend it!

    Perfect solution for 50+ devices. Dedicated backhall fixed congestion caused by home automation peripherals. Nest and an older Netgear solution could not keep up.

    Don't buy if you have a Netgear Armor subscription

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have an existing subscription with Netgear Armor (Bitdefender Box) which I use on my previous Orbi. This new hardware doesn't have the security feature that Armor provides and also lacks the parental controls (Disney Circle and OpenDNS). There's no announced dates on when those features will be implemented with a firmware update to this RBK852. So I suggest holding off on buying this until it has been added via a firmware update. It is currently limited in functionality.
