Customer Ratings & Reviews

These are okay but I didn't realize there was such a difference in price but that is because the ones that are higher than these are actually much faster and do much better I would say these are the beginner but go ahead and spend 500 more for a better pair or if you can buy the $1,400 set and you surely will be happy

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!

Easy set up very powerful hadnt had a buffer so far for an older version works well

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.

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.

A few years ago I purchased this router for myself thanks to a buddy who told me about it. I noticed right away that I was getting high speed Internet speed throughout my home and outside too. When I visit my parents I noticed they were experiencing what I used to with the slower Internet speeds away from the modem. I bought this for them as a Christmas gift and now they have fast Internet speed throughout the house and outside. This is a must have and you will love it.

I got the main hub and a satelite and I added another and have great coverage over the whole house and it performs well.

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.

Easy set up. Wi-Fi works in my out building which is about 50 yards away. Plus it isn’t an eyesore.

Powerful signal and speed. Better than expected. Covers three story house I have 1 satilite system and use iPhone Netgear Orbi app outstanding

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.

Product works great for having WiFi all over my home. Easy setup. Would definitely purchase again

The Orbi RBK50 has been flawless for the month I have owned it. It was extremely easy to set up, and with one satellite, I have coverage over my entire 3,300 square foot home. One of my favorite features is only having one network name and letting the Orbi manage the rest. Other than that, it has been reliable and so far there has been zero issues with network speed (200mbps down, 10mbps up). I wish I switched sooner.

This has tremendously improved my Wi-Fi speed throughout my house, having the second box maintains consistent connectivity in all of the rooms.

I had a hodge-podge wi-fi system to cover my 4400 sq ft home. My router is in a bedroom closet in one corner of the house. While I was able to get complete coverage, my speeds were very erratic. The Orbi system works great. Great speeds, great coverage. There are no dead spots in my house now. However, one advantage that I have that may not pertain to you is my house is wired for ethernet, so I wasn't limited to place in the base unit next to the router/modem.

Great product. I had spotty and slow Wi-Fi throughout my house even though I was paying for faster internet. With the Orbi, I now have the top speed I am paying for all the time and and I have it throughout my house. There were rooms where my Wi-FI was barely reaching and had super slow speeds. Now they all have the same top speed. I am much happier now that my famiy isn't complaining to me about the Wi-Fi being slow - and I make less calls to Spectrum (internet provider) complaining about Wi-Fi issues, so has saved me time as well.

When it works, it works great. Easy to setup. Provides good coverage. It does go out more often then I would like.

Easy to setup, strong signal and I have WiFi to my shop now. It’s a solid concrete shop and it connects 30 feet to my house without s problem.

I'm not sure if the Orbi is due for a hardware refresh, but the current WIFI setup that I have just was not doing the job. I went into Best Buy thinking it was either the Orbi or the Velop. I did a lot of research, and both get great reviews, but I decided on the Orbi. Setup was easy enough with the app, so I have no complaints there. I have 100% resolved my issues with poor WIFI thru out my house. I do have to admit though, I purchased an additional satellite for the system, but think it's really because of my house layout.

This wifi system provides excellent coverage for my entire house. I plan on adding another satellite to cover my barn. I'm very happy with this purchase.
