Customer Ratings & Reviews

I work form home - previous router failed - set this one up over lunch break to keep work up and running - easy set up - and excellent performance so far…. Much faster connections for our mobile devices!

This new system was a replacement for a previous Netgear mesh. The new system was easy to install and get up running with massive Wi-Fi coverage throughout our condo. Our condo is 3200 ft.² and has concrete walls. My download speed are typically in the 600 MB per second range overall extremely pleased with new Orbi mesh system. Set up initialization and install were very easy on the Orbi app.

I absolutely Love the speed of these bad boys especialy when put in daisy chain the satelites with ethernet cable,

Big improvement over my previous mesh system. Pricey upgrade for sure but if you can afford it's worth it.

Upgraded from the original Orbi 1 and could immediately tell a difference! This system covers more area and provides a much quicker connection. Was very easy to set up following the in-app instructions. A nice touch is that the app scans all the connected devices, it included a trial period of a year. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking to up their Wi-Fi speed without any headache.

I needed to upgrade my wifi system to get better reception in our outside living space. I always liked the Orbi system but our current system was no longer going to receive updates so I decided to go with the 970. I bought an additional extender just in case it was needed. Set up was easy and quick and when all was done I did not need the extender. Signal strength went from fair to excellent using just the main and two satellites located in the same place as my old system. Reception outside is great now.

Pricey but has totally eliminated dead spots in my old 3600 sq ft plaster walled home. Absolutely no regrets. Speeds are great and able to fully utilize our 2Gbps connection.

Excellent coverage and speed! The Ethernet ports on the satellite offer a way to connect a TV, and another device or two to each satellite! Extremely versatile!

I upgraded to this orbi system because I needed additional coverage as these are specd to cover 10k sq feet. Set-up is easy and it was helpful to have good tech support. The app, has some limitations for specified settings but overall it works well. also, good that it had multiple ethernet ports on each unit.

I’ve tried many different mesh routers and have only gotten desired speed from the Orbi products and this one is no exception. Signal is get and no more buffering, a bit pricey but worth it if you can fork out the cost. BB modem recycle program did allow me to get 15% off which help and just traded an old router that’s been sitting around the house not being used.

NETGEAR produces and markets many great products. Our home is over 10,000 sq feet and being a 90% smart home has over 150 devices connected all the time. Trying to find a system to keep all devices happy and connected is tough. I went all in and bought this system and overall very impressed. But is it perfect. No. At the far end of one side we have dead spots which I can understand why as those devices are only 40 feet from a satellite. I’m working with NETGEAR for a solution so I don’t have to purchase another satellite. Our home is very open and should not be having this problem.

This system is best in the business. Our home is about 4,000 square feet and it covers every corner with a very strong signal and amazing speed. No issues with it at all. Easy to set up. I would buy it again in a heartbeat!

Such an improvement over my last Orbi. I look forward to seeing the full extent of what these can do. The only negative is the price.

This is by far the best router system i have ever had. I recommend this to anyone!

When it's working, the performance is excellent. Spent 3 1/2 hours on the phone yesterday with Technical Support. They can't figure it out. I had to send it to engineering. Even after loading the most current firmware, which is v9.12.5.3 we had problems. Satellites constantly dropping even when directly wired. The biggest problem is when I plug a laptop directly into the back of the Orby. I was getting download speed of 75 mbps then I disconnected it and connect wirelessly and I was getting speed of 1.2 GB. Then I plugged my laptop directly in the back of the modem, which is right next to the Orby and I get 1.2 GB. They cannot figure out how this was possible and they still haven't figured it out. I will be returning these which cost $2000 and I suppose I will try the Deco BE95 mesh to see if it is anymore stable.

NetGear has great network security and that is the main reason I chose this system. However, started out having issues with this system dropping connection. Starting to get better but, for the money I paid I would have expected this system to be better right off the bat.

Upgraded our wi-fi system in our two story home. Our coverage and speeds were increased and have stayed reliable. Highly recommend these.

I bought the router and 1 point set. This is amazing, the coverage it provides is fantastic. I was able to move my smart bird feeder away from home and get more bird traffic. I like the armor as well but I know I need to spend more time to review its reviews to understand it better. I wish there was an option to pick and choose which device to connect with router and which one to the point. Over all, this is amazing product.

This is such a life savor worth every penny we got rid of the internet and got the home internet through out T-Mobile phone company and then got these for extended help wow great our internet works so much faster for cheaper monthly payments so in the long run it’ll save money I’m sure
