Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded my internet service to GB speed from 400. My old Orbi would not handle the speed (wasn't supposed to). I initially bought the Nest mesh and it was absolutely horrible! The Netgear Orbi AX6000 has been absolutely flawless! With nearly 40 devices connected, I am constantly hitting +/- 850 MBS with my devices. About the only device NOT getting that speed is my sons Xbox X which only hits a steady 300. (e found out later that the max speed is 300 for the Series X)I am extremely happy with the AX6000!

The router does all the basic jobs a router should do extremely well. Legit the fastest speeds I’ve had ever and so far I’ve had zero drops coverage. At the price point of $700 I feel as if there’s zero advance features that routers that cost half the price have. For example I should be set schedules if I need to cut internet access out (It can be done manually) or assign devices to certain people and figure out just how much usage each individual has. I’m also not a fan of the shape, it may look nice but it’s makes it pain to hang on the wall.

We have just moved into a new place I need to cover a wide area with Wi-Fi. This router is most definitely the best one on the market at this point. It is easy to set up and handle and very powerful. I can only recommend it to anyone.

Must have! By Bryan Schearf 12345 Easy peasy to set up and it just works. Very Fast speeds with no hiccups.

Very easy to setup. I could see the instant difference in the bandwidth I get. In last few weeks I haven’t seen my calls dropping. I dropped the idea of hard wiring totally.

This is so awesome, the range is fantastic. We live in a rural area that is away from the city life. I love the mesh system and the ability to connect to a satellite and have very quick response and power of the internet at my disposal.

This mesh router/satellite was very easy to set up. Once it was turned on I noticed an improvement in wifi range and signal strength. On my previous Orbi I had started to notice internet instability on Zoom calls; once this thing was up, that went away. Is it worth $700? Tough to say with the other cheaper options out there. However I prefer to stick with a proven solution and with all the devices in our home, we need the capabilities of tri-band. Definitely recommend.

I’ve tried almost all of the routers at BestBuy and have found this one to be the best. I have a big house and now have great high speed connection. I love how I have access to my router even when not at home. My router doesn’t reboot a lot like the other routers would. Connections are constant and stable. Speeds are always great. The router also does a vulnerability scan on all of my devices and blocks a lot of spam and malicious email and web traffic. I highly recommend this type of router for the right size of your house. Might need only 2 satellites or none. Check the square footage info on box to determine. Orbi has been the best for me. Thanks orbi.

Purchased this after spending a lot of time researching different platforms. Moved away from Ubiquiti Unifi System to step up to Wifi-6 since we were having spotty coverage in our home with multiple Unifi AP's. The RBK853 exceeded my expectations. Wireless coverage has been great in our home of 3500 square feet. Setup was easy and installation was quick. A few items I wish it had but can live without since we just now want reliability vs feature set - No ability to breakout the 2g and 5g signals. - Only can support one SSID and Guest SSID - The iOS App is a little feature lacking. To get more advanced you need to login to the web console. Other than these few items after 24 hours it has been a huge step up. Highly recommend.

Coming from a Nest mesh network I can honestly say that this is 10x better I live in a 3500 square foot home and now I have no dead spots and the wireless speed has increased tremendously

The product was correctly described. It was in stock and available, and the service was excellent. I would also say that Netgear's customer support was attentive and could help with my new devices.

So far so good, it really works, and the performance is incredible, reliable, fast and strong signal all around even at distance. Set up was easy and have it running in no time. Average speed at around 10 ft from the unit on my phone was 642 Mbps, Im subscribe to the gigabit service and some times it reach the 704 Mbps on my phone which is a super great improvement comparing against the Orbi mini that i had, which reach an average of 357 Mbps

Needed something with better coverage that support lots of devices that could support higher speeds to. This fit the bill and does the job well. My only grip is that I have trouble with some devices wanting to connect to 5ghz as well as I can't select it individually either. Its all one network. On the other hand, that does keep it simple and the 2.4ghz is still pretty fast with plenty of capacity. It was the easiest setup I've ever had with a router by far and the app is great.

This is the second time I have bought this unit (we moved and left the old one behind). The first one was in a 4500 sq ft three story home with standard construction materials. The second home was 3100 sq ft home in the desert with thick wall construction. This worked best in the first larger home than in the smaller desert home with thicker walls . . . Overall, I would say construction materials and home layout vertical versus horizontal has an impact on the coverage area. But, where the meat WiFi reaches is blazing fast and stable. I liked the built in security app well enough to buy a stand alongside subscription - 5 stars

WOW... What a difference the Wifi 6 makes... I’ve had the netgear Orbi AC 3000 system for about 4 years (1 router and 2 satélites) to cover my large house and backyard with a pool, and although that system was good, I found myself fighting for wifi coverage in the furthest part of my backyard (about 55 feet from closest satellite), so I decided to upgrade to this AX6000 model and man oh man what a difference. What my previous system would do with 3 units, this new system does it much better (shatters it) with only 2 units, covering my house plus entire backyard (and half of my neighborhood lol) with ease. Not a single dead spot, and the wifi speed tripled with this new system. I am getting 400-500 MGz WiFi speeds (using my ATT 1 Gig fiber optic) throughout my entire house, and in the furthest point in my backyard, about 55 feet from router, I am still getting about 125-150 MGz, fire!... One low point of this system is the difficulty that the devices have to switch between router and satellite in this system, and it takes a hit on the performance at times. For instance, when I am right next to my router (located downstairs in the rear of my house) wifi speeds roar around 450MGz, but when I walk towards the satellite (located in the 2nd floor in the front of my house), my phone stays connected to router (40 feet away) and never switches to the satellite that is only 2 feet away, so my WiFi speeds drop to 200MHz. After about 1/2 hour or more, system finally recognizes better signal and switches to satellite, but it takes waaaay too long to do so!... but hey, other than that, this system is by far the best I have ever owned. Pricey, but oh man it’s so worth every penney!

Excellent in terms of signal. Covers all the areas it needs to cover in signal, and we have a lot of space to cover, and we have old plaster and metal lathe walls and brick, but it has performed very well. What I don't like is that my previous mesh system from Amplifi had build in basic parental controls and the ability to see satellite mesh point signal strengths. Orbi requires a monthly subscription for parental controls, and I haven't figured out how to see signal strength yet to optimize placement. These should be free and easy to reach tools at this price point.

Get the full speed of my service (400mbps) all over the house. Setup was easy, plugged the satellites and router in, there was an update that ran, router restarted and everything worked.

Definitely worth the investment. I have a large property where WiFi is needed throughout. This was the only system that could reach all corners and handle all the multiple devices.

Where do I start, 4 person family with at least 20 devices connected to the wifi at any time. After 5 service calls from our internet provider did nothing to fix our issues. We got to the point where we would have to remove something from our wifi if something else wasn’t receiving internet. Our speeds were subpar, streaming content was reminiscent of AOL starting up. I’m in a 2850 soft. ranch home and I wish I had found this system earlier. Multiple kids can download games on console or steam while still enjoying fast speeds on other devices. No one has to hunt down devices that are consuming internet any longer.

I had read many favorable reviews of this Orbi system before deciding to buy it, and they helped convince me to go ahead. I had an older mesh wifi system that gave good signal coverage in our 6,000 sqft multi story house, but the wifi speed was not very fast, given our FIOS gigabit internet service. With the Orbi, our average upload/download speeds have gone from 80-100mbps to 400-500mbps, seeing over 600 near the router or satellites. Good stuff! Easy to set up, but a bit trickier to figure out the optimum placement for each Orbi component. But great results after a few days of experimenting, and our ethernet speeds are always over 900mbps.
