    I read the reviews and did the homework and still remained skeptical before purchasing; however I was wrong. I have a 4,100 sq ft home and placed the router on the top floor. I then proceeded to the basement to see if the satellite would even pick up a good enough signal for setup. I was shocked when the blue band lit up! Secondly, I was getting my bandwidth and then some. I've been using the product for about a week and have over 10+ devices connected to our network and streaming constantly, since we're cord cutters, with no issues. Simply put this works and was super simple to install!!!

    Yes it's a bit pricey for a mesh system upgrade but well worth it!! I have a 200 year old 2 story home (plus basement) with very thick timber walls. I have the router set up in one corner of the first floor and the satellite on the opposite corner of the second floor and get full bars everywhere including the basement and most of the yards outside (even in my work shop). Very easy to set up and great that you don't have to switch between 2 and 5 GH networks. I pay for cox 150MB/s service and routinely get 300+ everywhere in my home with this (used with netgear cm1000 docsis 3.1 modem)

    Setup was a breeze.. Coverage is great.. I am a techy and have both this and google wifi.. Orbi has more setup features if u are into manual configurations but is still very easy for the basic user.. Works very consistent.. Mesh routers eleminated all the hiccups that used to happen in a repeater setup ensuring amazing coverage and consistent connection throughout the house and still give the high speed performance you would expect from the other new complex odd looking high performance routers.. If you have a big house and want full coverage get a mesh wifi router without hesitation

    Hands down this is one of the best networking products i've owned in my life. My internet speeds tripled after installing this in a 3 story townhome. Installation and setup was a breeze. Highly recommended if you have slow speeds in a multi level home .

    I tried a Netgear standalone router, Google Home mesh and Samsung Mesh and the Orbi solved my problem. I get about 400 Mbps with an ethernet cable connected to fiber optic and 200-300 with wireless everywhere in a 2500 Sq ft 2 story house even though the base station is in the basement.

    One of the easiest routers I have ever configured. I bought to solve the need to have Xbox one hard wired since it never seemed to reach the speed my internet subscription was for even with 90-95% signal strength, although my iPhone and laptop would. The satellite is tucked behind my TV and out of sight and with the 4 Ethernet cords, I was able to hardwire my TV, Xbox, and streaming box to it. I am now reaching double what my Xbox speed test was registering with wi-fi. I am completely satisfied with this purchase, and if the need ever arises to add another satellite, it will be a breeze.

    I had a Wi-Fi dead spot in a guest bedroom which I had tried unsuccessfully to correct with extenders. I placed this unit in the middle bedroom and it not only corrected the problem but gave better speed in all back areas. Also it set up very easily.

    The Netgear Orbi AC3000 has allowed for seamless wi fi to opposite ends of my home, and consistent streaming for my (3) Nest Camera and (2) Hello Doorbells. At any given time I may have as many as (37) wireless and IOT devices connected to either the router or satellite of this mesh router and it is flawless. It’s an easy installation and set up with the Orbi app available on your chosen iOS, Android, PC, or Mac platform.

    Just like the title says. These are simple and they work great. They have pretty good range on their own but together the coverage is Great! The setup and app is super easy and quick. Only long part is just waiting for updates on the first startup. They work great. Haven’t had any issues. Netgear continues to be consistent at reliability.

    Top speed everywhere

    This thing is screaming fast. I get speeds nearly as fast as I get on my LAN connected desktop. I'm getting the full speed my connection is rated at, even when connecting via the satellite. Usually extenders only connect at 1/2 speed, but this uses two channels to give you full speed no matter where you connect. Add in the fact that the mesh network means one network name and no worries about switching to a different node for best speed, and it's really easy too. Super fast, super simple. What more can you hope for in a wifi router?

    Before I had gaps in wifi coverage in my home and especially on the 2nd floor. With the Netgear ORBI AC3000, I not only don't have any gaps in coverage but I have the same speed upstairs as downstairs. I now have over 100MB/S everywhere in my home.

    I am currently using my Orbi in a 4050 square foot house. Previously I used a traditional router that, when purchased 5 years ago, was one of the best routers available. Within the past year I noticed that wifi coverage, particularly on the other side of the home, was spotty or not existent. An upgrade to newer technology became a must. I purchased this system after reading several good professional reviews online and at the recommendation of the Best Buy technician. After installation a month ago, I can say that my wifi coverage issues are resolved and the speeds are much improved. The only downside is the price as it is much more than most routers.

    Terrific Wifi

    The Wifi capabilities on this system are excellent and the speeds are, in my experience, very fast. Setup is pretty straight forward and pairing the satellite with the main router is about as simple as it gets. The only issue that I ran into is that the satellite would not do the firmware automatically. You have to do a workaround by downloading the satellite firmware to your computer and then manually uploading it to the satellite. Hence the setup isn't quite as simple as it could be, but if you are even modestly computer savvy it shouldn't be a problem. Still its the kind of thing that shouldn't be necessary hence the 4 star review rather than 5.
