    Very easy setup and instant gratification. Eliminated all of my dead spots and even gives me coverage all around my large back yard. A little pricey but I shouldn’t have to upgrade to new technology for a very long time. Very happy with this new setup.

    Your wandering WIFi Signal

    I have lived with a wandering Wifi for almost three years having believed that the problem was my carrier. I eventually had a consultation from a best buy represenative after my new smart TV was installed. You see it showed when the connection was lost. This loss was barely 10 seconds yet it caused distress when preforming computer work. The consultant than looked at the situation and told me that a mesh system would take care of the problem. I was skeptical as other friends had installed mesh systems that just did not do the job. The consultant also advised me that if the system he had chosen did not do the job that it could be hard wired but he did not feel I would have to go that route. The Netgear-Orbi AX6000 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (3 Pack)- was easily installed with out hard wiring. I must say I have not lost the signal even once in the last month and I give the consultant/technition and the suggested system(on a 1-10 scale) a 12 rating. If you are haveing trouble keeping your WiFi strong and consistent I would sugget you run, not walk, to your nearest Best Buy and have a look at this sytem. You will not be disappointed. Dan

    I love this wifi system. I have over 40 items that connect to my network on a regular basis. With this system you wouldn't know it. My 3300 sq ft home has coverage in every corner. I can walk out in my front or back yard and still have coverage. Gaming, not an issue. School work, not an issue.

    Works great! Expensive though. No dropping signal everyone is happy. The only problem is SAMSUNG smart tvs do not like the security feature Amour Bitfender on the router. If you have a smart tv do not activate it as your tv will not connect. Spent 4 days trying to figure this out. Many hours on the phone and visits from my ISPS

    These routers are over powered for my house, but worth every penny in the long run. My average download speed is over 750 MB/s and upload is 680 MB/s. My previous mesh system was able to sustain around 300 MB/s for both upload and download.

    The Best WiFi I've Ever Seen

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

    I couldn't ask for a better WiFi solution. I live in a high-rise condo that was built with metal studs and because of this it is a challenge for WiFi systems to perform at their best. I also have more than fifty devices connecting to my WiFi system. I've always used traditional, non-Mesh system and for the most part they have all been by Linksys. When it was time for me to upgrade I read a lot of reviews and the Netgear Orbi AX6000 system was at the top of each review. Most reviews commented that it had the ability to transmit WiFi signals through walls and around metal studs which is what sold me. I've had it installed for just over a week and couldn't be happier with my choice. Yes, it is a pricey system but I believe you get what you pay for. The WiFi diagnostics I've run since implementing this show stronger signals and consistently faster performance. I have had no dropped connections and the tests I've run are at the least, twice as fast as my previous Linksys EA9300 which has two RE9000 Extenders. In fact I have seen my WiFi speed run as high as 700Mbps as compared to Linksys at 280Mbps. A plus to this is the look of the units themselves. They fit in to the my home without looking like some clunky piece of electronics with antennae sticking out. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

    NETGEAR - Orbi AX6000 Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System

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

    This is a good Wifi 6 Mesh system. Easy to configure and setup. All of my IoT devices connected instantly and without any problems. My house is about 4,110 square feet and coverage is pretty good. The main router is located at the basement and the satellite is in the main floor but reaches all areas including the garage where the door opener and the water sprinkler system connects without any issues. The mobile app is pretty straight forward. The web app is Ok but the settings to configure time restrictions on devices was pretty tricky. All streaming services including 4K web stream are supper fast and flawless. I would recommend these with no regrets. The only problem is the price which seems to be too high when compared with the offerings from competitors.

    The Netgear Orbi is a terrific wireless mesh network. It provides very fast Internet connectivity and extends coverage liberally to all of the difficult spots in our two story house, The Geek Squad quickly and expertly installed the system and it works better than any wireless system we have previously used. I could not be happier!

    Before purchasing I had two separate modems at both ends of my house and what was so annoying was how my phone specifically had to reconnect to each modem for constant service. The Orbi made it all go away, along with providing more stable wifi connection compared to the rigs my ISP loaned me. Such a solid tool that I never thought I needed.

    I had an upscale wireless router, but with 6 family members home 24 x 7 there was nothing but complaints. I looked for a high i/o solution with wifi 6 support. Ease of setup was hindered by opening the application and connecting. Once connected the configuration options were standard screen layouts. Nothing spectacular. Advanced configuration options are on a separate tab, taking a repaint of the layout. Available ports. Only 4 ethernet. No USB. I thought heavily about this limitation. The manufacturer really needs a rethink on this. Wifi. Very Good coverage, with 1 satellite. Great throughput as tested with a few tools. Internal add on, bitwise is a subscription. Due to the premium paid of these units, it shouldn't be a subscription. End result. No complaints, a bit expensive for provide features.

    These seem to give pretty darn good coverage throughout the house and into the yard. WiFi slows down a bit in the yard. In fact, I'm thinking about getting another satellite if they're ever not sold out again... None of them have very intuitive setup and tech support is sketchy, but I did find someone who stuck with me and we figured out an issue...
