    My house is a little under 3000 sq ft and my first floor is concrete.. my nighthawk wasn’t cutting it. I needed something to push through the concrete walls and reach the dead zones upstairs. I tried the rbk 20 but it didn’t give me my ISP’s full potential speeds. I went one up and, wow. The rbk 50 blasted through the concrete walls and upstairs. The satellite included helped with the dead zones upstairs...there were none. I have full bars all over my house, even on the back porch (we spend a lot of time out there). The only reason I gave this router 4 stars is because I needed to tweak the settings and change the frequency channel because it was I interrupting a lot of Bluetooth in the house and I had to turn down the radio broadcasting to 50% on the 5ghz and 25% on the 2ghz due to the devices that moved around the house often (phones, tablets, etc) were connecting to the furthest router/satellite and giving me poor signal and even dropping the wifi. Once this was done, it was fixed...but you shouldn’t have to tweak anything for this price. Anyway, works really well for concrete houses and large spaces. Would recommend.

    I had issues reaching every room in the house and with this it covered the entire square footage and provided my family with streaming speeds and gaming speeds for multiple users and never notice and degradation of service. Went from 50 Mbps on my older system to 230Mbps on this one! Expensive but worth it!

    We were tired of paying the cable company, so we bought our own modem. The Geek Squad member was extremely knowledgeable about what we should purchase. It was very easy to install, it is fast, it has a nice sleek look. It was well worth the money to be able to return the cable company's old, worn-out, too-expensive-to-rent modem.

    Solid Wifi Coverage

    I got this to replace Comcast's lackluster built-in Wifi coverage, and it's worked out fantastically. Both units are quick and easy to set up, nearly all of the default settings were exactly what I wanted from them (which is pretty much the OPPOSITE of where the Comcast settings were at), and it provides solid coverage at full speed, all through the house.

    I have been amazed with these routers

    I am fairly technical, so I did a lot of research on various mesh and non-mesh routers prior to purchasing these routers. I can say I have never been happier with a wireless router solution than I have been with the Netgear Orbi. They deliver amazing speed, great connectivity, and with the wired backhaul the satellite has no degradation.

    So glad I took the plunge on this. I am getting what I pay for from my ISP, I can control what the kids do now as well as turn devices off when needed. Super easy to setup and well worth the upgrade. The 2 piece setup allows coverage for 4000 sq foot home. Very satisfied with this purchase.

    The set up was very easy. I replaced my existing router. I am very happy about the coverage and internet speed throughout the house. I have a two story 3200 sq ft home snd I get a strong signal in both front and backyard as well. Highly recommend this product.

    I've had numerous wifi routers in my current home and one thing or another they never worked perfectly. They would either not have adequate range to hit the whole house or constant disconnects with many of Apple-based products. With the Orbi AC3000 I get great range and rock-solid connections. Great product and glad I purchased.

    Solves any wifi network problems

    I have tried using the apple airports to solve my poor wifi issue to no avail. I thought it was the idiosyncrasies of my house that was the problems - 3 foot deep cement walls left over from the 1600s, 3 floors, a large house layout, portions of the house beneath the ground. I also blamed the cable company for sending me a poor connection. After the holidays with all of the new wifi-enabled devices, everyone was constantly losing connection with the wifi, and when everyone was home, we could all forget being able to connect onto the wifi. However, the minute I hooked up the Orbi, I had full wifi strength all over my property - and then some. Ping speed tests showed that I was able to get the download speeds I had been paying for. Our numerous devices that were operating over the wifi were all able to work simultaneously, and at quick speeds. The Orbi was simple to hook up - just two pieces and pretty self-explanatory. I researched other wifi web systems as well as upgrading my router. I think the Orbi offered the best solution for my poor wifi problem. Although expensive in comparison with other systems, I think the Orbi is worth every penny. I have a relatively large house (6000+ sq ft) and am able to get wifi throughout the house as well as outdoors in the yard.

    I did a lot of research before settling on the Orbi. So far, it has performed pretty well. However, I don’t see a huge improvement over my Linksys WRT router.

    I've gone through a lot of Netgear devices over the years - they work great initially and then tend to fail around a year. So far, this one is no different - set up via the web interface was good (app is useless) and the coverage and connection is excellent - better than the more expensive Nighthawk X10. I hope this one lasts!

    This unit far exceeded my expectations. The gui has been updated and now features more advanced features like port forwarding and vpn. It was easy to setup, and reaches between two houses (as long as I have the units in the window), which are about 100 feet away from each other. Both houses (~1500 sq ft each) have full coverage and even spills into the yards.

    So easy to install, and no issues at all. Make sure to disengage your wifi from your provider's router first, before activating Orbi. I have one downstairs, and one upstairs in a 4,000 sq ft house, and seamless transition at all times. Also includes Disney Circle software, which allows fine tuning of content control for youngsters.

    Excellent mesh system, with good range and fast internet. I have a few of the add on satellites and it covers almost all of my property. You can also mix these with the outdoor Satellites as well. Been using the orbi system for about a year now and very happy with it

    Picked this up on sale to replace an old TP-Link router. This bad boy handles 300 gbps and has a dedicated 5ghz channel between base router and satellite units. No signal drop off. I can run 3 video streams simultaneously and hang about 20 devices off of it.

    My wife and I were pretty clueless when we went in to talk about routers. We lucked out and had Manny L. Ask us if we needed help! He went through all of our options with some product recommendations. We ended up going with one of his recommended units. Very happy with the experience!
