    After researching most of the available products, I landed on this gem. Not a single spot with poor signal in my house. I only wish it had similar abilities as an access point to those available to people that use the full router functionality, for example the ability to pause WiFi access

    Excellent performance so far

    We needed a boost to our wifi in our new ranch house with a finished basement, as our previous router just didn't have enough juice to get coverage to all areas we needed. I went into the store looking for a booster and was instead informed of this newer Orbi technology and decided to give it a shot. We got the product about a month and a half ago, setup was a breeze, and the product has gotten us a strong signal and performance in all areas of the house both on the main level and the basement, which encompasses about 4,000 sq. Ft. of space. The product is a bit pricey, but we are very happy with the performance and have no regrets, so I think worth the cost.

    This is by far the best home wifi system out there. I tried the Linksys VELOP but speed was inconsistent and slower than the Orbi. I live in a two story house and with my old router, speeds were 50-60% slower than what they are now. Instead of upping your internet plan, try this first!

    We had purchased a different item that was defective out of the box. Geek Squad agent had an Orbi on his truck. Used it to confirm problem was other system. Decided to keep the Orbi. Works well throughout whole house while using multiple devices at one time. Completely satisfied so far.

    I am a EE. We have 100 mbps cable Ethernet. We had a Nighhawk router that constantly hung. We love Linksys of the past and purchased one that was DOA. A different Linksys router worked but only delivered 60 mbps performance max. The Orbi covers a 2700 sf home and we now have 103 mbps everywhere in the house. We also get 200 mbps when transferring stuff between a server (on wired Ethernet) and any node. The Orbi has never hung and only lost the cable modem connection when our ISP has gone down. Very happy so far.

    I needed to make a spot for a home office and the storage room on the side of our detached garage won. One of the major issues was slow WiFi speeds in the storage room. I picked up this Router and the WiFi speed increased immediately. Our modem is in the front of the house along with the router base. I have the satellite router in the back of the house closer to the garage. The storage room is at least 25’ away from the back of the house and the WiFi works enough for work and Zoom calls.

    I am not a technician by a long shot, however the instructions given through the app made the setup fast and easy. I have waited a few weeks to write this review because I wanted to try it out. With that said, I must ask myself why didn’t I buy this sooner? I now have absolutely no dead spots and the speed to all TVs, printer, smart phones, tablets etc. are really fast no matter where I am in the house. I highly recommend this product.

    It's 2017 folks. Getting Internet access in every corner of one's home should be easy. Orbi makes it so. I spent months researching the best way to cover 4000 sq feet with seamless wifi, and after testing several different devices finally decided to go with orbi. Is it expensive? Yes, but less so than other units that promise the same thing, and deliver spottier coverage. The question is, what device can give me uninterrupted wifi signal strength in every corner of my home, securely and easily? The answer is definitely Orbi. Save yourself the headache of rebooting routers, and replacing extenders and try it. You won't be sorry.

    I own the most expensive Nighthawk out there and the Orbi blows it out of the water! My PS4 Pro NAT type is now Open. No more 2k server issues! The range with the ORBI gets me a strong signal from down the street. Easy Set Up and it works like a charm. I've owned this system for a month and It's been a great month. 4K streaming doesn't buffer anymore and my ping from my ISP is now 2ms instead of 54ms. Thanks Netgear!

    We upgraded to this mesh system after having low speeds in corners of our 2200 sq. ft. house with our current router. The Orbi system was easy to setup and we now get complete coverage with no speed drops or dead zones throughout the entire house. We have many laptops, gaming systems, smart home devices, etc. connected with no issues. The Orbi app also has many convenvient features and was easy to use.

    I am very pleased with my Orbi so far. My cable modem and router are in the front corner office of my house. Not centralized at all for the family room and upstairs kids areas on the other side of the house. I set up the satellite unit in the family room to extend the wireless signal. This set up works great. We stream movies and games all over the house with no dropping of signals. We do not have cable TV so we stream almost all our content with no lag on any of our devices. I knew it was a going to be an investment, but I was buying in on the idea of easy setup, fast and reliable. So far I have achieved all of my goals with this setup.

    I live in a 3000 sf ranch home and our single wifi router provided by the cable companies just wasn't cutting it and giving us the signal we needed throughout our home. I bought the Orbi system plus 1 satellite and now we have a great signal in the bonus room above our garage where our XBOX one is and in every other room throughout our house. Extremely easy to set up and I'm actually thinking about buying one more satellite so we can plug the XBOX right into the back of the satellite and get the best connection possible. It's working great without the hardwiring but we know it will work just a little bit better by plugging it in.

    The one I should’ve bought first

    I had a Netgear nighthawk that was awesome when I only had spectrum 100. I upgraded to 400 and the only way those speeds are capable was with 5ghz. 5ghz doesn’t travel very far. So I was getting fast internet over WiFi only in my basement. I then tried the nighthawk mesh extender. That thing was awesome for about one day. Then it stopped working correctly, forcing me to re start it every few hours. I returned that for the Orbi. I now have 400 in almost every corner of my house (3500 sqft). Easy use. Not one reset since purchase.

    I have a 1500sf single story house and placed these on opposite ends of the house. The signal is amazing. I have 500 Gbps service and standing next to the router or the remote unit i get 450 Gbps +. I can go outside about 25 feet from the unit and still get 200 Gbps. Inside the lowest speed i could find was around 325 Gpbs. I have on average 10 devices connected at any one time including 3 streaming Tv's and an Xbox have had no issues. Setup is super easy. You can use the smartphone app or login with your PC.

    Originally had a different solution (a more "google" one if you catch my drift) and returned it. Picked this up in it's place. Haven't had an issue since setting it up. It can be set up via app or a connected device, of which I did both. Although it allows you to do the same thing via the app, it does allow you more flexibility through a web interface. You can set the boxes up as either a router or an AP, and you can change the subnet information. Coverage is excellent (AP sits on 2nd floor and have decent coverage in the basement) and adding a satellite is simple. Excellent product.
