Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tom's Hardware was right on with this one. This system replaced a cumbersome Asus Ac5700 with one click of a button in the app! All our printing problems solved, all our dropped connections solved, and yes, the mesh makes it awesomely powerful. Yes all the bells and whistles are there for us tech geeks, and the security may not be the highest, but this is definitely the easiest network setup I've ever had, and the system has been working strong for days!!!! -Oh, and I almost forgot, it's worth the money with the quality of the signal you get! Mic drop~

Excellent system. Paying for 50mbs Internet speed and get over 50 on download and upload all over house. Works as advertised. Buy it, you won’t regret it.

The Orbi routers are awesome. We have AT&T Gigabit Internet with fiber to the house. With the AT&T router we got 52 mb over Wifi. After hooking up the Orbis, which took less than 5 minutes each; we are seeing 450 mb to 550 mb over Wifi. Speed is never an issue with the Orbi routers. Their data channel is faster than almost any normal home internet connection, so they will never be the bottleneck. I highly recommend this product.

I tried the version that came with a wall satellite and had trouble reaching through the thicker walls in my house. I purchased this, which has another full size unit and it seems to work better. Only downside is that when it is connecting to and from the satellite you may experience a brief lag in the internet.

Very easy to install and set up. We now have excellent signal strength everywhere in the house, front and back yard and garage!

Easy to set up great coverage, would highly recommend. It took a little moving around but no troubles at all. Great app functionality.

I bought this Netgear orbi router system a couple of months ago it helps so much with my dead spots at my house so we can see what I have always had Orby and they always work good I have service everywhere in my house and even in the backyard they helped to spread out the service to all areas up of your house so there are no dead spots would highly recommend

I had a Netgear product that was problematic because of bad updates. Netgear's solution was to roll back to a previous update. When I heard that the Orbi AC3000 was one of the best Mesh systems out there, I was hesitant because it was also a Netgear product. I've had it for a month now and it is using it's latest update. I've had no trouble. In fact, I have had no drop-outs in a month. I also use VPN to connect to work and there are no issues connecting. After a month, I am pleased with this product and have no concerns.

The set up of the router was very simple. The coverage in our large ranch home is excellent. No deadspots or weak wifi signal throughout our home and within 75 feet outside our home.

Major problems with our att internet Found out it was most likely out att router the whole time. Bought this and wow. Solid and fast. So easy to install too.

Pros: The system expanded wi-fi capabilities in my home so that we get it in all rooms. My old system only worked in the living areas, but now we get it upstairs and in all the back bedrooms as well. Cons: It was very expensive (~$350) and the wi-fi in the living areas where the old router used to give me seamless use doesn't appear to be any better; I sometimes get buffering and stalling now where I didn't before. I had to have my son install it though I don't think it would be difficult for most younger people who are used to such things. I would recommend this if an expanded system was needed for the home and a regular one wouldn't do the trick or if the price drops significantly. Otherwise, it's too expensive.

The best range, the best speed, I really liked, Buuut UNFORTUNATELY don’t work with the PS4, if you buy this thinking in gaming consoles do not waste your time/money

I watched many videos and looked at many blogs about the Orbi prior to ordering. Many raved about it, others warned of how settings on using behind another router was a nightmare, but I took the chance. The setup was incredibly easy. All I did was plug it in and let it do it's thing. Immediately, I was up and running and back to work. I would say that I am not excited about the speed I get through the Orbi vs. what my provider sells me. When I plug in directly, I get what is advertised, but over wifi it drops considerably. Maybe I need to mess with those settings after all? But overall, I am pleased. No drops in wifi, consistent service, easy set up. I am sold.

This was super easy to setup for a two station system. I love it ability to cover a wider space hat is dependent on your placement rather than just a radius from a single location.

Purchased the orbi in mid February and I'm extremely happy so far. Fast and easy setup. Wifi through out my house including outside with full bars. Don't let the price scare you.

There always seems to be euphoria when router companies tell you how much house area their product covers. This is the RBK50, which is supposed to cover 5000 sq ft. Well, maybe without walls. Luckily, I overbought and live in a much smaller house, so the RBK50 is great, but looking at signal strengths, one more set of walls and I'd be in trouble. Still, it does what I need and covers the whole place with decent strength. The single SSID for both 5GHz and 2.4GHz has caused some trouble with an Epson ET-3600 printer, which can't tolerate 2 radios with the same name. It's now connected by cable to the router. And I can no longer control the 2.4 and 5 radios' on/off with Version 1.12.0.18 of the orbi firmware.

I purchased the Orbi system after reading many online reviews and the system exceeded my high expectations. The range and speed is consistent throughout my entire house and I wonder how I ever used the internet before the Orbi. It lives up to the hype and I highly recommend.

Prior to Orbi purchase I bought several other cheaper routers hoping to improve my signal as my Nest Cameras where getting dropped signals. Each of these other routers where a little better than the Comcast provided router, but still had way too many dropped signals. I checked the signal strength at each of my Nest Cameras and logged in the signal strength for each. After much research I decided to up the ante and spring for the Orbi. the Orbi signal strength was way better. Other than price I have not been disappointed with performance and it looks good too. In 2 months I've had a couple signal drops and that could have been comcast.

I really would like to give this 5 stars. It works great, and expanded my coverage, in my house. All my ring products and other security cameras greatly improved with this set up. The app is easy to use. The only thing I didn’t like about this was the set up. I could not get it set up with my iPhone at all. I rarely use my computer, but had to hardwire it into the main router, for it to finally get set up. I was told that I shouldn’t of had to do this, so not sure what my problem was. I have since unplugged it from my computer, and have had 0 issues so far.

This is a solid product. I bought it to replace an aging Asus router. I get great coverage all over my house. A little on the pricey side, but it is worth it.
