I have had issues getting wifi coverage to my many Ring cameras and echo devices for some time. Frontier sold me some mesh extenders that really never made a difference. However now that I bought and set up this Netgear Orbi system, I actually have over 100 internet (both upload and download) through my home..inside and out. This system was easy to install and I feel it is simply a outstanding product to get internet working like it should throughout your home.

Best connection I’ve ever had

This is so easy for consumers to use and set up alone. The actual equipment is clean and modern looking, no one even knows it’s for WiFi. I have a 2 story house around 1600 sq ft and I have WiFi in every inch, including the porch, down the drive way and all over the back yard. There are no drops when multiple devices are being used and it allows you to have a separate guest WiFi entirely which is nice for Air BnB users. It lets you know everytime someone new joins your network and it also alerts you if there’s any viruses trying to hit it. It’s the best router I’ve ever had and it really helps the connection.

product is great, the coverage throughout my home is amazing. currently in a 2 story house with basement, approximately 2500 sq ft with no dead zones. the set up was a breeze and have had zero issues with connectivity. before upgrading router and modem was only clocking in around 60mbps, after we are consistently clocking in at 95-110mbps (spectrum 100 internet). would easily recommend.

Mesh Wi Fi works beyond belief!

I have literally tried Wi Fi boosters, extenders, different routers, and nothing seemed to work consistently in our 4,000 square foot house. My wife works from home and she couldn't rely on our current cable modem/router for good or even decent internet connection. It would literally fail on a daily basis.
However, since I broke down and spent the money for the new NETGEAR Orbi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (4-pack), we've finally found a product that meets and exceeds our wildest expectations for our internet needs. This system is meant for a home up to 6,000 sq. ft. and works exceptionally well. We have a theater /game area (Wii, PS4, Nintendo & projector) in our bonus room that we can all play, and enjoy worry and interruption free internet all day long!! That was not the case with our old cable/modem. What's really exceptional, is my wife can do her work online and not have to worry about slow downs while my kids and I play or watch online content in the bonus room.
Hands down, Mesh Wi-Fi is OUTSTANDING! What an excellent investment! We no longer worry about bogging down the internet, and best of all, my wife is happy!!
Excellent product for those readers having intermittent internet issues.

I have a 3 story house (including the basement). Our wifi router is in the basement due to dumb wiring of the house. This system was suggested to me by a Best Buy employee instead of a standard wifi router (which I have had problems with in the past).
This system works amazingly! There are no dead spots in our house and we can be in the backyard and get a strong signal. Set-up was easy. I had one satellite that didn't connect at first, but I restated it and it worked perfectly.
As you roam through the house the signal drops for a second every once in awhile as the device you are using switches from one satellite to another. I haven't noticed as I'm streaming or working on the internet and moving throughout the house, mostly as a first get onto the internet after the device has been in sleep mode.
Glad it has a guest wifi and monitoring capabilities.
Very happy with this purchase.

The setup was very easy. It works along with my existing google fiber router. I am able to pull over 100 mbs per second from every corner of the house. I have the google 500 mbps plan. I live with 3 other people who all do remote engineering work and this router handles the traffic perfectly from any room in the house. We have roughly 75 to 100 connected devices and we love the performance.

Bought this as a replacement for my old Netgear wireless router AC1900, which performed well, but was showing its age. Setup was easy via Orbi App. Provided great coverage and even extending to areas that I was not able to signal before like back yard and front of house. Only down side is dual band instead of triband. For price it is well worth it.

We did a bunch of research before purchasing and finally landed on the Netgear ORBI AC1200 for our new home. We have over 2800 sq ft and paced the base and one satellite on the first floor and two satellites on the second floor, and we have full coverage with excellent speeds at every corner of the house. Easy to setup, highly recommend.

ORBI so easy it's like magic!

I recently got the new Orbi 4 Satellite Dual Mesh Wi-Fi system, and all I can say is wow!
Setup - Scan a QR Code download the App and you are literally online in a few minutes! The App is so easy to use this is what I would buy if I were not savvy about home routers and extenders! The only thing I wish is that you didn't have to have a net-gear account to use them.
Form - Factor - These look like art! they are so small and unobtrusive they blend in, my house guests don't even know they are wifi units, Some people even thought the were stylish - speakers!
Use - I set these up on 2 floors of my McMansion, and one near my outdoor living space. I couldn't believe how strong the signal was. I can go anywhere in my house and patio and get an amazing signal, also I have my WiFi camera's hooked up, they just work!
Slight Con: Info Armor doesn't work behind my residential gateway. I feel this is an important feature, however it's not a deal killer, I am not to enthusiastic about the Bit-Defender system anyway, a lot of my accounts with sub-domains were blocked or out-right couldn't connect, I do not recommend installing bit-defender, it's a pain to install on my Mac, and harder to remove.
If you want to get a great WiFi system look no further than this bundle, they are ascetically pleasing to look at and small enough to place all over the house! This is the system for you if you love getting online but hate the bulky appearance of most home-WiFi systems.
I used a WiFi scanner app to determine my coverage, and I got almost 100% signal everywhere, I don't have one in my garage but I still got a great signal!
I received ORBI as part of NETGEAR’s First Look Review Program, and have reviewed other NetGear products and I would have to say this is by far the best one I have reviewed.

this network or mesh system really improved my signal in all rooms I made sure I had enough satellites to cover my home and Netgear solved my connection issues, very easy to setup I did the speed test and the numbers have improved.

I had a wifi router but the signal was weak at the front of our house and no signal in the bedrooms. Purchased Orbi mesh wifi on deal of the day to try it out. Working great so far. It was easy to set up. Now we have great wifi signal throughout our home. Even outside in the front and backyard. Only problem is my Ring Doorbell Live View has issues loading. It would take several attempts to connect. I have a satellite right by the front door and it has a rssi ranging from 25-37. It worked perfect the first week but all of a sudden Ring Live View was just would not connect on first try. All and all it is a good system to have if you have some dead spots in your home.

4 Pack NETGEAR - Orbi AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System is a great edition as the backbone of your home network. The device is easy to install and configure. Speeds are near the top of its benchmarks. The faster your network, the closer you will be to your top wifi speeds.
The only thing you're going to miss is the ability to mount these on a wall or in a corner, up and out of the way.

I can not speak about the durability of this product.
But I can say that my internet speeds are somehow the same (ethernet vs wifi). Not sure how this is possible but with 1 router and 3 satellites I can fully cover my house with ease. Set up was within the orbi app which is easy to use and has some nice features.
Buy this system if you have spots in your house that do not get wifi.

TLDR version: Works great. Bought the set with three satellite modules, but two would also work pretty well.
Long-winded version: I purchased this for our 2400 sq. ft. house, where the modem/router is upstairs in a home office and the main tv we stream to is downstairs in a den.
Frustrated with a single extender that delivered a decent but sometimes spotty signal, I went with the three-satellite version to make sure there was enough coverage. Honestly, though, the package with two satellites might work as well.
The signal is strong all over the house with no interruption in coverage, and even well into a good size backyard. This is where the larger pack will come in handy: We sometimes carry a smart TV outside to stream in the backyard and this provides excellent bandwidth.
Setup was fairly easy, but I’m also pretty much an idiot. As a result, installation should be a breeze for you fine people.
So if you too have first-world problems such as not having a reliable Wi-Fi signal to binge on your streaming services while hiding from a pandemic, this is the product for you.*
*Also probably works well in non-pandemic times. Hoping to be able to test that soon. Take care out there and be cool to everyone.

Fairly easy set up, you can check out some videos on YouTube and then it's a smooth sail. Does exactly what it states - increases wifi strength all over the house - previously low connection zones are now connected at full strength. Having said that th system is designed for larger sq foot (6000 sq ft) - I get amazing coverage in about 2500 sq ft.

We purchased this because we live in a two story house and have issues with our speed and connection in certain areas in the house. This immediately solve the problem. We now get top speeds everywhere. In addition, we have the ability to control the internet use of the kids. Outstanding buy.

It was easy to set up and even though we have a small house at 1900 sq ft on a 4 lot property, we purchased the 4 pack. have to say that we have no more dead spots anywhere on the property and can connect to 5G anywhere in the house. This is definitely a must for a home with multiple devices!

This is a great router! I love it and the only reason I’m not giving a perfect rating is the setup. The app I used walked me through it but the last step was so challenging to get right. I had to log in using my computer to actually get to the router and get it working. It took me a few hours of figuring out what I did wrong and it was the stupid app! Do not use the app to get this going. Use a pc and log in to your account. Anyway once it was setup, it worked perfectly. I am thrilled to have this device and it works all throughout the house. I have my appliances connected too. It’s worth it and I am happy I bought it! Now if they can just fix the app so people can set it up easily.
