Customers are saying

Customers regard the Orbi AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (2-pack) highly for its ease of use, extensive Wi-Fi coverage, and strong signal, leading to improved performance. Many appreciate the straightforward setup process and the noticeable improvement in range. While some find the system expensive, positive feedback on performance and lag reduction outweighs this concern for most users.

    We ended up being this back after only a week. We ended up going with the Eero which is a lot more friendly and actually connects devices to the right sata lite depending where you are.

    We actually chose this one based on reviews and were very disappointed. It kept dropping our connection. Only for a second but enough to kick me off my work VPN.

    I bought the Orbi for a long range satellite to extend my wifi to cover my whole property but it had connection problems from just a short distance so I returned it and bought a Netgear Nighthawk.

    I bought this thinking it would boost my Wi-Fi signal and my speed and to be honest it really didn't do either very well. Needless to say after trying it out for 2 days I packed everything up and returned it.

    Can't hard wire a PC and VOIP to the BRB20 router! A device this expensive and doesn't have multiple Ethernet ports! Netgear, you can do better! The Netgear support system is deplorable.

    Dont waste your money. you'll be lucky to stay connected for five minutes. After two days I had to go out and drop another $150.00 on a different router. Steer clear.

    I was told in the store that it would be an easy set up. What should have been easy was quite difficult. I was unable to hook up the Wi-Fi system, so I returned it.

    Before purchasing the Orbi router, we used the cable company’s router which was very weak. The Orbi provides Internet service without interruption in most cases.
