I was looking to replace my Verizon router and after doing some research this was the best bang for the money. The Orbi app is easy to use and you can access your router remotely. I stream everything so I need fast reliable internet.

This is expensive. If you are in a 2 bedroom apartment, you dont need this.
I live in a 4 bedroom, two story house, and this thing is incredible. I was real frustrated with my internet before, and now nobody in my family yells out, "Whats wrong with the internet"

Best Wife mesh routing system I've ever used

I've had many wireless routers in the past but by far, these are the best I've used.. and I've even had some high end gaming routers. The mesh routing system works awesome!!! I had an issue with my wifi reaching beyond the walls of my house to make sure I'm getting signal to my wireless surveillance cameras and this does the trick. no issues at all and can reach slightly beyond the perimeters of my house. This allows me to still get wifi on my phone as well and can run my mp3's without an issue. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for this type of system for sure.... and also to add, the signal strength is not only strong, but its super fast. I get such a fast speed on wifi, its like being plugged directly in!

The orbi did a great job eliminating dead zones in my home. While you can use standard routers and brige, the setup here is simple and the slowest speed I have gotten in the furtherst corner of my home is 200mbps. The speed for which I subscribe is 300 mb so could not be happier!

I am so happy with my new router, easy to install after you follow step by step, I suggest 400 mbps or more with internet service. I always have to many devices connected and is running smooth and fast.

Pros:
When it works it works. Great Speed. Great Connectivity. The synching between devices as an apple user is phenomenal.
Cons:
This device shuts down 4x to 5x a day.
The connection creates a very spotty internet service throughout a 2 bedroom apartment.
Whenever connecting more than 4+ devices (Laptop) good luck staying on for more than 3 hours without having to restart.
Recommended to another person, I wouldn't. I would have explored other options but looks as though this started happening the moment my warranty ended up being.

I bought it to try and take advantage of the higher speed. I also enjoyed the 2nd hub having multiple Ethernet connections to hardwire several devices to it.

Nighthawk r7000 paired with Netgear AC1900-WiFi Range Extender Model: EX6400. Was actually crippling my Wi-Fi speeds at home. So I replaced it all with Orbi rbk 50 and haven't heard anyone at home complain yet. Note Orbi does not allow separate SSID for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz.

I told the guy at Best Buy I was having internet connection issues I my house and he recommended the Orbi I was a little skeptical but I tried it. Wow! TV’s, cameras, tablets and phones all connected. That was a year ago and I’m still going strong.

The Orbi has completely eliminated our connection issues with just using the enhanced gateway router provided by our fiber optic service. We have a perfect connection all the way to the edges of our backyard and beyond.

System doesn't work as well as expected

After having some glitches with my Netgear nighthawk and access point I decided to change to the Orbi. I was under the impression that this system would solve the problems I was having with my Wi-Fi coverage. I was losing signal depending on where I was on in my house. The Orbi 12 claimed that it would eliminate all these issues. It took many hours on the phone with technical support to work out the bugs. All my nest products would drop off line and send me alerts many times a day. Although my iPhone 7 seem to be working well two iPhone 6s still constantly lose wi-fi connection. After many hours of working with Netgear tech-support who by the way were very helpful we got the nest products to all work nicely But I still have issues with the iPhone 6s. The range of coverage with router and satellite seem to be pretty good. I'm still not sure if the investment changing from the Nighthawk to the Orbi was worth it. I also wish I was able to set up a guest network on this system like I had on my nighthawk. I might be able to recommend this product in the future but I'm just not sure yet.

This was purchased to upgrade from an Apple product. This has provided great coverage in our house which has large square footage. We no longer have drops of coverage of our Wi-Fi. It handles multiple devices well.

I don’t have a huge house, but for some reason I’ve always had issues with normal routers. This system has been amazing. And I use the satellite Ethernet ports to run all of my game consoles, they are just as fast as if they were hard wired.

I am new to the mesh router game, but love that my devices don’t have to jump from 2.4 to 5GHz bands and the problems that can cause of devices are not seen as being on the same network. Coverage is great and the whole family is happy.

The ORBI does a great job. I have a number of devices. I had even more when family visited. There is no issue with capacity, strength or range. It did take me a bit of time to work on getting some legacy 2.4GHZ devices up and running, but they did work.
