Pricey and Tall.. But moving from the ASUS AX, immediately saw WIFI speed increases (same locations, same device, same tools). The hand-off between stations has been good. We have approximately 40 devices connected w/ 3 TVs, multiple computers and phones.

I’m very happy with this purchase my wireless set up was struggling to keep up with the amount of devices I had in the streaming that was going around my house. I also was having a problem with my outdoor cameras in my locks. I set this up with my Verizon Fios and disabled the files Wi-Fi and use the Orby as an access point in AP mode. Things are working great you can definitely notice the speed is faster and no issues with connectivity Wi-Fi calling FaceTime and streaming.

So far so good! I had an older Orbi and wanted to upgrade to the new Wifi 7. Finally turned off my at&t router and now getting a stronger single. Was glad to catch this on a great sale with my points made it worth my while.

I have over 80 devices connected to the internet. The Orbi app, along with the hardware, allows me to isolate the different functions of my devices, such as IoT, cameras, video devices, etc.

Product is revolutionary! Has totally revamped my home network. I’m getting speeds up to 980 mbps throughout my home! My XBox games install in minutes!! Worth the money in my opinion! Only con was the initial setup. Little frustrating. Had to set it up twice.

Easy to install, fast speeds being available throughout the house on multiple levels, the boxes are quite big and it’s not cheap! Overall a great investment that should last a few yeara

This thing has some pretty serious connectivity issues that are well known online. From day one I have struggled with drops and blocked devices. I work from home and need reliable internet service. I also bought subscriptions to armor and parental controls, which are clunky and limited. Ive been brand loyal to netgear for over 20 years, but its time to move on. I regret not returning it within the return period. Now im stuck with an expensive paper weight.

Easy installation if you don't change the name until you finish the installation. The app works great and the orbi covers over 3500 sq ft and outside. It is more expensive than others but worth the price if you have a large house with two stories and multiple walls.

These are pure garbage. I replaced an old velop mesh router with this and regretted it. It worked ok for 2 months. Then the tech support expried. They wanted $180 to support this device. Despite having an active hardware warranty. They would talk to me. Lots of devices wouldnt connect. The range got really weak. Then finally bandwidth was at about 30mb no matter what when i had 1gb at the modem. Ultimately the company didnt help and i returned it to best buy and got a deco which was instantly better. Best buy should pull this product.

Great product once setup. Initial setup steps could be more clear regarding what to expect, but I was able to complete the configuration and it is up and running well.

Bugs in device tables that self corrupt every 45 mins. Devices disconnect randomly. Roaming in the house causes denial of service attacks by devices on the network. I factory reset 4 times, didnt change anything. Support said one of my my problems was parental controls that i activated (free trial) but they refused to remove all traces of parental controla from my account to enable functionaility in the router web UI. They sked for pictures of dhcp assigned 0.0.0.0 IP addresses, which i couldn’t do because parental controls is enabled - and then said i should ask them to remove it. Wow, the actual title of the ticket is exactly that and they refused several times more! They closed one support ticket out of the blue with no response, then referenced it in a response to a new ticket but told me to do the same things that already didn’t work that were documented in the referenced case. And still wouldn’t address firmware issues or remove parental controls activation. Cant use this junk.

This system does not outperform much less expensive mesh systems. Withouth getting too techical 5ghz and 6ghz wifi are super sensitive and a lot of factors will impact your individual experience with it and the way clients behave. All of the important settings you would need to be able to tweak to get it dialed in for a particular house are not user changeable settings and their AI does a poor job of managing them. If you want the kind of performance they promise with wifi 7 tri band you need to go with Ubiquity equipment and have the patience to set it up. Ironically it isn’t even that much more expensive than this Orbi setup.

The product works great and was a simple swap from my previous Orbi. It's been my experience over the past 20 years, these seem to die (or have severe degradation of performance) at 5 years. Was hoping that the previous Orbi may have lasted longer given it was a pricey mesh system, but alas here we are. Imagine in 5 I'll be here again.

I upgraded to the Orbi 870 hoping for faster speeds, but honestly I didn’t see any significant improvement over my old Orbi 753. My internet performance feels about the same, and in some areas it even seems slower. Additionally, I’ve had connectivity issues with my Blink cameras — they struggle to stay connected to this router, and overall the network feels less stable and smooth compared to my old Orbi.
