    Great system if you like rebooting your Wi-Fi all the time. All the complaints on forums about how Apple HomePods just don’t work with this are right. You’ll be playing music and then it just randomly stops and you CAN’T CONNECT. My previous Wi-Fi router didn’t have this problem. This was an expensive downgrade. Extremely FRUSTRATING.

    Their products are overpriced. THEIR warranty periods are too short. I am staying away from their routers.

    Well worth the $$

    Very easy setup and fantastic coverage. I connected using backhaul to get to parts of my property that had previously been blocked, but most installations probably won't need to go that route as the signal is very strong.

    Mid

    It's not a bad wifi system. But it's not great either. Coverage is ok. Connections are decent. The app really lacks features though. It's really limited if you need to monitor who and what is connected to your wifi. Big negative is the lack of auto reboot (this is an absolute must for people that travel a lot). For $1200 umm no. This is more like a $700 to $800 at best. If the TPLink wasn't such a terrible connections, that's what I would be using. This is mid.

      Thank you for your review and valuable feedback. We would like an opportunity to improve your experience with your RBE873 via the Orbi App. You may access the Orbi App to monitor which devices are connected to your network via the Network Map feature. This feature allows you to see the topology of your network and which devices are connected to the router or satellites.
