Customer Ratings & Reviews

We were having problems getting Wifi throughout our house and purchased the Orbi and..... PROBLEM FIXED! Highly recommend!

This devices really gives a boost to the wifi signal. I get what I pay in the entire house thanks to the satellite. Great choice for multiple level houses.

As with any Router - update firmware as soon as you get it setup. Setup was super easy / WiFi speeds are ultra FAST. Unlike old NightHawk X6 router I no longer have a separate SSID for 2.4 / 5 Ghz. they use the same on this...nice. Speeds are amazing on my 200mbps connection on Wifi I can get almost 170mbps anywhere in my house....previous NightHawk was about 30-70mbps. Ok so I love it with 1 issue. My DirecTV DVR - latest version / latest firmware - when streaming On Demand sometimes it will loose connection. Never did this with Nighthawk and its close to Router...I think it is a glitch haven't noticed any other drops of MacBooks/PC's / Roku etc..

Just bought this for a household of 6 with smart TVs, tablets, PlayStation, phones and more. Good speed, easy setup and user friendly

I have a fairly large home that has had chronic wifi performance issues. The wifi router that came with our internet service couldn't provide whole house coverage. I've tried using extenders and powerline adapters. I finally was resigned to an expensive network solution (far more expensive than this product) to cover the home and outside patio. I'm so glad I didn't go through with that expensive solution because the Orbi works perfectly. I must admit I had doubts about this product but I'm really impressed. The signal is strong over the entire home and outside. I'm truly amazed.

Love this product. I had a Net Gear Nighthawk, but this is a great product for improving your whole home Wifi. Extremely easy to set up and I have not experienced such great coverage for my home. I have over 3,000 square feet and get full and fast coverage throughout the house as well as out by my pool. I liked this so much, that my son-in-law purchased one and he is and IT Director and well versed in Wifi. He did extensive research in the whole home systems and this is by far the best. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to upgrade their system.

Very easy to install and startup. Good coverage in house 3 level house, including patio and deck outside areas. Nice app also

Works very well with one booster throughout my 5000 sq ft area. The units are difficult to hide and will clash with a traditional setting-waspish remarks from my older female friends!

I was worried I needed 3 but these two were perfect. I tried range extenders but didn’t give me the speed I pay for. These give great range.

I have had many issues with prior Netgear and Linksys range extenders. They would work for a few months and them signals dropped which caused massive issues with the family, I would wait on line for Spectrum to arrange a service all only to find that they were nothing wrong with the Spectrum equipment. Ended up signing up for the Total Network package with Best Buy which included the Orbi units. Much, much better. Only issue so far was a Orbi app that decided to stop working. Reloaded it and everything is good again. I recommend this product and Best Buy.

After years of poor wireless, the orbi system is a game changer. Everyone can get on easily and all dead spots have been eliminated.

This has made our internet faster and provided great coverage around our place. I highly recommend this product!

Installed easily with no problems. Definitely helps range and speed and the app is very easy to use. Would recommend.

I did some speed tests on my current network before switching out with the new Orbi. My download speed increased 10x and upload speed 3x. These are so easy to setup and manage. They also don't look like your A-typical wireless router, so it's out in the open, which is nice. If you are using older technology and looking to boost your performance, I highly recommend trying Orbi out. My old technology was only 18 moths old and may have been throttling traffic, but my configuration was correct according to the vendor as I'd called in a few times to complain about it's speed.

I had a previous top of the line Netgear router in my house that was becoming bogged down by all of the connected devices in my home. I started looking into the "Mesh" systems for managing my home's wifi. All of the new "Mesh" systems had their negative reviews. However, with all of the recommended reviews that I have seen from other people and companies like (Cnet and Gear Live), I decided to give Netgear's newest mesh router system a try. I initially purchased this Netgear system to cover my whole house for the purpose of having wired connections to the base and the satelite. My master bedroom and open family room of my house are on the first floor of my house. Initially, my base was put in my family room and the satelite is place on the farthest room on my second story. It is like you see in the picture design that is shown with this product. My performance of download speeds was much improved and all of my devices were staying connected when my internet was up. The only issues that I found was with my cable service provider. It was constanly losing connection, so I had them come and check things out. What was found was that they needed to replace some connections at their outside box. Since then, my internet has been practically flawless. I did go and purchase another satelite (one that is wall-plug mounted) simply for the fact that I want wired connections in my master bedroom on the first floor through my desktop satelite. I am putting the new wall-plug satelite on the furthest 2nd story of my 5-bedroom house. I do not know yet if this will interfere in any way to my current download speeds. My wife and I don't really use our 2nd floor and my daughter who is in one of the bedrooms on the 2nd floor is moving out soon. So, I do not really need internet there anyway with the exception of when I use my 2nd floor office when I might be upstairs which is "not much" since I developed a disability with my back and nerve problems in my right leg and it is difficult for me to do stairs right now. My wifi cameras and my Alexa devices are now fast at responding to my commands which I can speak fluently and do not have to break up my words for doing a command like "Alexa, turn on my lamp". Before I would have to say, "Alexa... (pause) turn on my lamp." This has been a big plus for me.

With work from home and school at home things were slowing down to a crawl. I researched and chose Orbi based on coverage area, features and magazine reviews. Glad did!!! I moved from congested B roads to the "No Speed Limit Autobahn of Internets." Set up was a breeze with the App for iPhone. I needed telephone support to help me hide my network, they were instantly available and resolved that immediately. This is an awesome MESH!! (I'm exclusively MAC BTW)

This Mesh Router is legit. I had horrible internet service and this was amazing. Saved my small business!

I've used a dozen different routers and repeaters over the years, recently having purchased a Netgear Nighthawk. I was pretty happy with that, but the repeater I needed to get the signal across the house left something to be desired. Long story short? The Orbi is a phenomenal replacement. Setup is fairly simple, the signal is great, and I'm convinced the third band as a dedicated backhaul helps tremendously. The features on the router aren't quite up to the same level as the nighthawk, but for all but fairly dedicated network tinkerers, it's very easy to overlook.

Great router with satellite for 2-story, 2600 square foot house. Coverage is great and set up is easy with the app.

The system is easily twice as fast the Google WiFi system I tried beforehand. Aside from its size (router base and satellite are about the size of a medium vase) and a hiccup during setup, this mesh system is great. During set up the satellite unit didn't want to connect using the mobile app. Devices hard wired to the satellite were receiving a network signal before the satellite even showed as a connected device in the app. It was not the easy plug n play configuration the app made it out to be. I had to set up a few times before everything finally worked.
