Customer Ratings & Reviews

Netgear has an awesome product here. For those of you deciding between this Obi and the higher tier model, rest assured, you won't be disappointed with this model.

I've owned two Orbi routers. About a year ago, I purchased the Orbi RBK50 as a replacement for an Orbi RBR50 that died after 2 years. Unfortunately, the new RBK50 died almost 1 year from the date of purchase, about two weeks past the manufacturer's 1 year warranty! Go figure! At first I thought it was a modem problem. I replaced the modem, but WiFi connectivity issues remained and became worse. I removed the Orbi RBK50 router and purchased a Google Nest WiFi Router and two points. I fired up the Google Nest, and there were no more WiFi connectivity issues. The speed is fast, coverage is great for our 3300 sq ft home. I know there are a lot of positive reviews for Orbi. I was once a fan. However, after spending close to $700 for two Orbi routers that died in less than two years, I didn't want to take a chance and purchase another one. I didn't know if third time's a charm or three strikes I'm out....more money...

I've been using for over 6 months and it's been great. I stream multiple devices at once without an issue. The coverage is fantastic. Very glad a purchased a mesh system instead of a WiFi extender.

Extremely easy to setup and worked as described. Previous modem/router had marginal signal coverage. The Orbi WiFi System provides great connection speeds throughout my 2800 square foot home.

Swapped out a lousy service from Verizon with RCN and my own equipment. Great speed and the Orbi setup is getting wifi through the house and on our patio as well.

I bought this after my nighthawk router died and couldn’t be happier. Easy to set up and use and you do not have to an online account for it to work like many of the other mesh systems

Purchased Orbi after reading reviews and getting limited service with Comcast Wifi. Set-up was tricky with very nice gentlemen, due to language barrier and bad phone reception, but once hooked up, system works very well. Great for larger homes.

The third channel to handle communications between the routers makes all the difference in the world. I get the same speed throughout my house and garage office now - before the garage office was flakey at best.

The Orbi has been great for providing WiFi coverage in our home as we have a lot of devices (phones, computers, streaming devices, etc.). So waiting for internet to load on devices is a lot faster!!!!!!!

This Orbi has changed out wifi signal strength throughout our home. We were plagued by lag time and dropped or weak signals until we had the Orbi installed. Now our signal strength is constant and steady.

Excellent for my home which is 7,000+ square feet.

Was difficult to set up the satellite station. needed an additional satellite to provide complete coverage for the home (and they are expensive). But it does provide high-speed wireless connectivity in a mesh network.

My modem hookup is located on the main floor. I have Ring and Nest cameras, with Alexa through the house. Smart TVs etc. With just one satellite downstairs everything is connected faster and far more stable.

A bit pricey, This is a great mesh network solution. I have a month with it and I have less issues with speed when on wifi. The only thing I need to look into is how I can turn off wireless when I'm gaming online.

After enduring multiple daily resets with the stock Frontier Communications modem/router, decided to try the ORBI. Rock solid performance now throughout our 2500 sq ft. home, as well as out on the patio. Love it.

We could never get strong, consistent wifi throughout the house even with an extender. With the Orbi we get great signal even out in the backyard and download speeds are consistently 3-4x better than before!

Excellent product and easy to set up and run, I use this and several satellites to cover my entire property

The Orbi covers our 4000 sq ft upstairs and down without a problem. Setup was a challenge because the satellite wouldn't pick up the base router but it did so after a while - not sure why the delay.

The best wifi douter I have used. I recommend it..

Does what it says. I now have seamless wifi coverage throughout my house with no more dead zones. Speed is pretty consistent in all corners of the house. Very happy.
