    After reading all the negative reviews, I decided to give it a try anyway. Currently have Xfinity gig service with over 60+ smart devices and wanted better speed then previous wifi mesh. This new mesh is a beast. Much faster speeds on all devices. So far been very stable and no issues. The cost is high, but you do get what you pay for.

    I recently purchased the Netgear Orbi Tri-Band Mesh Wifi 6 system. It replaced a 4 year old Linksys Velop mesh system. Granted the old system was 4 years old but the new system is, by far, better coverage around my home. I have thicker than normal insulated internal walls throughout the home and the Orbi pushes through with no issue. Where I used to have a serious drop in signal, I now have almost the same signal as at the base unit. Great purchase!!!

    I upgraded from Orbi AC3000 mesh system. Using this in a 2 story home about 5000 sq ft. I purchased the two pack, which seems to be more than capable of handling 45+ devices. This system is very expensive but totally worth the cost. Setup was a breeze. Haven't had any issues with dropped signal. I still get full signal when I'm out in the back yard. Overall I am very happy with my purchase. Hopefully this will last a long time (bought the protection plan just incase).

    Wifi 6 is amazing. This product is pricey, however it covers my house. Home schooling, security cameras, working from home, streaming networks, and gaming. I used this with Spectrum 1g.

    I had the Linksys Velop prior to this. It was a first generation Velop and I was experiencing challenges with having a large number of devices on the wifi. I currently have over 50 connected devices on the network. That number increase when we have company. I was finding myself having to reboot all the nodes a couple times a week. So far with this Orbi I have only had to reboot to apply firmware updates. After that, it has worked has hoped and expected. If you have a large network then this is a product you should look at.

    The Orbi system is by far and away the best wifi mesh system I have used to both cover my house and support all of the devices that my family (which includes two teenagers) uses with no degradation. Equally, the administrative console is super helpful to manage devices as well as security. For me, in today’s world where I can have up to 4 people in the house for an extended period of time working, taking classes all through video while internet surfing, tv streaming and video games are played on top of wifi calls, the Orbi system is worth the investment. I highly recommend if you have a similar usage pattern and a focus on security/protecting your assets.

    I had the Nighthawk Wifi 6 AX11000 AX12 model, and the new Orbi seems to work faster throughout the house. This router is crazy expensive, but if you can afford, probably the best one you can buy.

    The Orbi systems are probably one of the best mesh wireless devices out there. They support 2.4ghz & 5ghz devices. What makes Mesh the better solution is that it has a proprietary wireless channel it uses to communicate between the devices.. That means it doesn't bottleneck your 2.4/5ghz trying to backhaul the communications and means you have a better response due to lower latency. Think of it like a multi lane highway for all your devices, then you also get an HOV lane just for the devices to talk to each other.

    Easy set up. Speeds up to 700 up and 800 down. I have tried several routers in the past 6 months all the way from high end TPlink, nexus, google, Verizon etc. nothing beats this speed.

    We set the ORBI mesh system up in our new home about 3 weeks ago. It’s worked flawlessly and was easy to set up. The range is impressive. With the Satellite sitting in a window, it reaches and completely covers our huge shop Which is about 200 feet from the house. We are big time Xbox gamers and when we game simultaneously in both the shop and 2 in the house it works flawlessly. I would buy this again and encourage anyone to use it.
