    had to replace my current router and these work great! Also the Geek squad technician who installed them explained everything to me. He was very helpful. These boosted my speeds substantially

    Replaced a Linksys mesh system that was constantly dropping nodes or devices. This new system is much faster, much more reliable, and was a breeze to setup. It is expensive compared to some others, but the quality and reliability are unmatched.

    I tried several different mesh Wi-Fi setups and this one finally provided the range I needed. It was expensive, but now I never have to worry about dead spots in my home, patio, garage or yard. Great if you are planning any home automation (sprinkler system, cameras, pool equipment, lights, etc.) around the home.

    So far so good. I have FIOS Gigabit service, but my last mesh networking device had bottlenecked speeds and frequent disconnects. The Orbi system has been rock solid with great download and upload speeds. Better yet, no drops. My daughters can now do their distance learning without interruption. We are very happy with our purchase.

    The way our home is built, it was very difficult to get internet service all over the House . This was very important when my grandchildren visited. With Netgear ( Orbi), internet is all over the home and we are able to support all of the devices that requires internet service.

    Orbi wifi 6

    Orbi wifi 6 is perfect for families and a game changer. The older wifi 5 is only meant to hook up two devices at the max without slowing speed significantly. Expensive, but worth it when you aren't taking advantage of your current internet speed. I have spent hundreds of dollars on different routers and extenders to no avail. A mesh system provides constant upload and download for streaming and multiple devices for example: I'm running my security systems, cameras, labtops, phones, iPad, TV and etc. Over ten devices on my network without freezing or drop signals. I'm also a popular streaming online for my fitness business which was a major problem with my previous setup. My house was built in 2018 and insulation was great which explained why I was only receiving a good signals being in the room next to the router. I almost made the mistake of upgrading my network because I didn't understand why I couldn't use my current network for all my devices. To sum things up not only do I receive a great consistent signal throughout my house, but also halfway down the street lol. Hopefully this helps someone from wasting money and time.

    Expensive, but delivers everything they promised - easy set-up through their app, excellent WiFi coverage that my previous router could not reach and increased my network speed to levels that my ISP told me they were delivering. All things considered, I’m a satisfied Boomer.

    We used these with cable interent provided by Spectrum and it provided more than enough coverage for our 2100 sq ft house. The range was pretty powerful and I could usually get good signal up to about 10000ft when out walking my dog. The Orbi App is easy to use and provides some basic admin functions while the browser interface has much more controls and features to mess with. My one real beef with this is that Netgear provides absolutely no integration between Orbi and NightHawk equipment. I had an older Nighthawk extender that I would have liked to use out in my shed/workshop, but I could never get it to work with my ORbi network.

    Much better than my previous mesh router system (Nest Mesh). I have 1 gig speed and get around 80% of that through out my 2 story house. Love using the parental features on the app.

    This is worth every penny! I previously used the Google Nest WiFi and it doesn’t even compare to the level that the Orbi Netgear system. This is a far superior product! Definitely get what you pay for in this product. My Internet has 100% strength anywhere in my home and even outside of my home!

    Seems to do what it’s supposed to. I upgraded from an older orbi. Setup was a bit frustrating, just to go through it a few times. All in all, it’s fast and works. That’s what I need.

    Good range distance, easy to hookup and use. Made of good durability. Do have to purchase the armor security package. Seems to run slower, even using your own security software. Think maybe they cause it to run slower, to make one purchase there security package. Prior item of same nature from this company, same issie.

    I have had these for a few weeks and they have been reliable. I have more coverage than I have had before. Although these were expensive, I won't need another router for many years to come.
