I’ve been running this for about a month. I keep one unit in the central part of my basement where my modem is attached to the internet, and one on each ‘far’ end of our house. We have about an acre and a half of property and you get full bars all the way out to the edge and beyond. It’s the 2.4ghz out there but speeds are still more than enough. Great system.
I use the Ethernet ports on the satellites and they work flawlessly.

I had the prior version of this Orbi setup and loved them, and these are just that much better! Amazing coverage, crazy fast speeds, just can’t get much better!

This has been the best mesh system I’ve owned so far. The coverage is great, it delivers gig speeds and handles all my devices. It’s a lot of money but worth it.

This system is easy to setup and operate, for those who just want a plug-n-play system with fast wifi. It also provides control for those who are familiar with or little to play with the wifi settings.

We have installed 2 of these kits to connect multiple buildings to a single ISP. While the cost is huge ($3k), the ease of use and range is 100% worth it. We were able to reduce our ISP cost by $60/month and more importantly unify our network including the firewall security. This has dramatically improved productivity/efficiency. Our Wi-Fi now covers >5 acres and has made the ISP the bottleneck for both Wi-Fi and hardwired connections. It would be nice to have the ability to purchase a 3-satellite kit rather than a router w/2 satellites.

We got the 960 for Christmas to upgrade our previous Orbi which was out of date. The router main unit installed easily via their app which I did via my iPhone. The install process was easy and fast and then the satellite unit was plugged in after. The speed on my cable isp (500 mbps) jumped immediately and went slightly over 500. We are very happy and have used Orbi since 2016. Now streaming feels much faster without the spinning wheel.

We had outgrown our google mesh network and needed a wifi architecture to support 25+ devices (most were for home automation). This is the fastest, most reliable wifi platform available.

Hands down the best mesh system out. It covers every sq inch of our building (7000 sq ft) and the furthest security camera still operates at 5ghz. Amazing range and ease of use.

Setup and integration was perfect and made a huge improvement for ring cameras installed but overloading a simpler Netgear router.

They are built like tanks. No fragile or wiggly parts. You hook the router (labeled) up first, and then the nodes from the app on your phone. For more advanced settings, you can use a browser to get to the router web page. The strength of signal, speed, and reliability makes this system part of your infrastructure, not glowing decorations. They are worth the investment.

Switched from another brand, could not get decent speeds even 5 feet away from router. Orbi is giving me 800mbps almost everywhere. I have a 3300 sq foot house, router is in the house, wired satellite in another building 60 feet away and the other satellite running wireless in an outbuilding 130 feet away from the house. Reception is great all over my property! I have Xfinity and use a Netgear Nighthawk modem. Took advantage of the trade-in offer fromm BestBuy, with the performance I am receiving this was a great investment.

Best WiFi ever, right out of the box! Easy to set up using the app, now getting complete coverage with no dead zones seamless handoffs moving from floor to floor and through different rooms. When setting up the system used my previous network SSID and password and all devices synchronized flawlessly. In terms of speed I am seeing around 650mbps on my wireless and mobile devices. I couldn’t be happier, well worth the investment
