Customer Ratings & Reviews

I researched and finally decided on this Tri-band mesh network. Along with this Router and Satellite, I purchased a Netgear 32 x 8 DOCSIS 3.1 Cable Modem and got rid of the ISP modem equipment. Installed in June and already have had to contact Netgear Tech Support twice now because WiFi frequently is not available. So frequently that I noticed an increase in my cellular data usage while at my home on my phone and tablet. Without the Internet Streaming TV on I had not noticed that the WiFi kept dropping off and I was using cellular data. Oftentimes the TV in the lower part of our home would not work despite the fact that it was working well at first when I installed the new mesh network. Twice now I have had to spend an hour or more on the phone with Tech Support to change numerous Settings on the Router which also required resyncing the Satellite. I asked Tech Support Rep why doesn't NetGear make a device that works properly right out of the box? Why does this product take two separate times working with Tech Support and changing numerous settings to make this product work? Each time they end the conversation with the same statement: if the problem happens again we will replace the unit. Yet, that has not happened yet. If you have several hours every other month to be on the phone with Tech Support then go for it, but I certainly do not. As for performance: It is poor to average. 30 feet from the Router and standing between the Satellite my WiFi signal drops in half to 2 bars.

Spent quite a lot of money on the last WiFi system BB recommended and an extender which didn’t work so well. Spent ALOT on this one now. So far WIFI has been a lot better. A couple of times it wouldn’t connect, but really no major issues.

I needed to get wifi in a couple of dead spots in my home. After trying a power line adaptor, I decided to research mesh networks. It came down to a couple and Orbi was chosen. I now have coverage where I didn't before!

NETGEAR ORBI worked better than I expected. My desktop can work with wifi and have no problems now.

Its a good router, worked well so far. I had hard time setting it up first time after that it's was just matter of using the router. Firmware upgrade is a pain and won't go away! You will need to climb that painful learning curve to adjust to the lack of ease in the UI of the router to do it automatically or let you do it easily...it's just painful to update the firmware..period. Unless you don't live in a house with 2000sq ft(one router) to 4000sq ft(need router-satellite combo)....you don't need this new technology of mesh-type router. I use iPhone 7 and have wifi calling! I noticed that the wifi signal dropped unknowingly in my observation and some of the reviews earlier also indicate the same experience...

I am not a techie, but I found this easy to set up and it improved our internet significantly. I did have a few hiccups in the set up but they were easily solved and very well could have been my fault.

I have purchased similar units in the past few years but nothing compares to the service of the Netgear Orbi 300. My wireless devices are no longer freezing, nor am I experiencing slow or low downloads.

This router solved an issue I had with dead zones. I have an older home with plaster walls, which turned out to be the kiss of death for my wifi. This router provides seamless coverage with no loss in speed from unit to unit.

It is performing as advertised. It cured all the problems that I was having with weak connections. The system also allows for faster internet when it becomes available. I am very satisfied with Orbi so far.

I am very pleased with the performance of this router. However, I tried to install myself and ended us calling the friendly Geek Squad. It was money I had no intended to spend, but overall it was worth it.

Overall, still the fastest mesh, with the greatest coverage. Setup and use, not quite as easy as Eero Mesh, but still the best package for power users that needs coverage and speed. A++

This has been a great purchase. Replaced the Spectrum router with these units and the Wi-Fi quality has been exponentially better. Would recommend to anyone.

Very straight-forward solution for those whom do not want to deal with manually configuring a hardwired AP, extender (which doesn’t work that well, etc. works well, stable connection in my 2-story 3600 SF home

This has boosted the wireless signal so that we can use all the new devices we have purchased to be more up to date. It has really helped get the signal to all of the house despite the old plaster walls.

In terms of getting WiFi coverage it's a great system. However the wireless backhaul that runs on 5GHz results in severe performance issues in terms of speed. I'm not sure why Orbi can't support wired backhaul like the Velop (which does both). Also, there is no QoS except for a Speedtest. Finally, there is no way of knowing if a device is connected to the router or satellite through the app itself. Only option is to manually enter the satellite's IP address and then logging in. The mobile app quite frankly is a waste of time after the initial setup. I even downloaded Netgear Genie to get a better idea of what the system status was. Considering the high cost of this system, I expected more.

This set up has worked perfectly in my house. It allows for a strong WiFi signal throughout the house. We have large ceilings and a bonus room which has been a problem in the past, but not anymore.

I bought this because I was having issues with my nighthawk and it was super easy to setup and the satellite orbi setup was as simple as hitting a button. Fast speeds and network meshes very well.

This router eclipsed any other router I have used in our house, which has plaster walls & related metal grids. It solved a band width issue & allowed me to take full advantage of my 70" smart tv. Well worth the price.

Purchased these to replace a Belkin router, and a Linksys Range Extended. The RE hardly worked after 90 days and they Belkin had issues with range and multiple connections. So far the Orbi's have been great.

This is a must have for your home internet needs. This is great for use with multiple devices and Netgear is so great with the care they provide their customers!
