Good mesh network. Substantial improvement versus my old network

The Orbi system is great! I don't lose connections anymore in my house. Great for any house 5,000 sqft and under.

Easy set up and great coverage. I have never had a problem with Orbi.

First of all it is a great unit and does deliver very fast speeds via wifi. The 3 standard network ports provide the usual 1Gb internal network speed between hard lined computers on same network/domain. There is a 2.0 connector that at the time of this writing does not have any functionality, but should in future firmware updates. So on to the details of the ORBI. The Good: Fantastic wifi speeds (I was getting around 850Mbs). Easy to setup with browser walk through. Extreme range (did not drop strength thought my place). Shape and style of unit blends in with any decor and no flashing lights to keep you up or make it look like 4th of July when room lights are off. Current features might it a real contender for large area wifi dead spot elimination. The Bad: Only 3 ports on back of unit 2.0 USB port has no purpose at this point Does not support ReadyShare yet. Satellite does not reach full speeds of main unit (most units do not and cut speed by half). Therefore if you live in a smaller area it is not best option to use both together since once the signal dips on one the other will pick up and say you are offline for a few seconds. When my tablet, laptop, or phone go to sleep it will disconnect and reconnect when it wakes up. I understand why but still gets old having it happen. The Ugly: Current features on control panel still need upgrading to provide more control of hard line and wifi ( naming, restricting and access to 2.4 and 5 bandwidth separately) Auto channel selection does not dynamically change to clear up wifi clutter. Limited number of channels available. When connecting you do not know which band you are connecting to ( either 2.4 or 5 ) Wifi speeds will slow down the hard lined connections when online. So all in all it is really worth it if you rely on wifi for the bulk of your online needs or if you need to share the connection with somewhere further away ( upstairs, downstairs, or backyard) as the satellite with give you the boost you need to do this. Will this replace my other router from same company? Maybe once the 2.0 port gets enabled and ReadyShare is added so I can use my usb printer again and have it shared on the net work. Would I recommend this to others? Yes I would but only if they are normal everyday users with little to no need of "tweaking" it. Would I use this for online gaming? Yes I would but not near the satellite or in multiple rooms since it has beam forming and it is best to give it one area to concentrate on. Hope this review helps make a informed decision for your next wireless router purchase.

excellent System for the price. it meets all the requirements i was looking for

Great product, great features. Easy router setup and monitoring via iPhone app.

Excellent Wi-Fi really strong my house is almost 4500 ft.² and I don’t have no problems with the Wi-Fi

This is the 2nd one I owned, we moved and forgot our 1st one. Highly recommend this

As I stated, I really do enjoy having the security of knowing I am protected against the unknown and not living in fear.

We now have reception in a part of the house for the first time in 26 years!

Best router no dead zone work perfect just great I had spotty wifi not any more just great

Great update for our home wireless. No more buffering on our streaming or zoom calls

200+ mbps downloading speeds in the areas of my house where I had 30 mbps! MUST BUY!

My house could not support wifi no matter what router I got. This seems to work great so far. Only outage was thunderstorms.

This router covers all deadspots in the house. Not only there are no more deadspots my wireless speed also increased as well.

No issues. Works with every device we have and on all operating systems.

Picked this up for my MIL house. Great for the money, but I still like the Google Mesh better

At first our Orbi wasn't staying connected at first. But after resetting and completely starting the set up process over again we have had no problems.

So far so good. No one is getting kicked off as with my previous router. Had to revert to manual setup.

So far this product has given me no problems. Customer service is available 24/7 so any problems will be fixable at that moment.
