Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best investment in a long time. Greatly increased our connectivity and we never drop signal now.

Easy set-up! Really impressed with the speed of the router. My internet speed is higher.

Great! Easy to setup and manage. Many devices with amazing speed.

When I first purchased the Orbi AC3000, the satellite would drop it’s connection to the router periodically through out the day. Talking to Netgear technical support provided no help. They said there were linkages connected to my network that were interfering with the signal. They wanted to charge me $150 - $350 to remove them. This did not sound right to me, so I said no. For the last three weeks no problem with the satellite. I have much better coverage than my old router. Hope it stays that way.

I was extremely skeptical that this thing was going to make a lick of difference in our household and convinced that all of our dropped VoIP calls, movie pauses, video game freezes, streaming music fails, etc. were all the fault of our local ISP. BOY was I wrong! This thing fixed all of our issues and now all 32+ of our WIFI enabled devices (yeah, maybe that was the issue..) can keep on keepin' on the internet like they are the only device I own.

I like the ease of the setup, I don't like the lack of features with the current firmware that is available. One of the things that it lacks is the ability to separate out the 2.4 and 5Ghz into different SSIDs. There is a hack you can do via the CLI but it didn't work with the latest version of firmware. The channel choices for 5Ghz are also quite restrictive of what you can choose.

The fastest and most seamless WiFi yet. I haven’t had any problems with signal. Awesome!

After looking for a router that would provide a good signal to all areas of my home as well as maximize my broadband speed of 400 mbs, I settled on the Orbi AC3000. Setup took about 15 minutes and is done thru their smartphone app. The router finds the satellite without the owner having to get involved in manually pairing them. I am getting excellent wifi reception on all my wireless devices so far and am very happy with this purchase.

Unfortunately the base firmware has some known issues that make communication between the router and satellite hard to re-establish if broken. I spent hours performing factory resets, attempting firmware upgrades, and reviewing status lights along with their meanings so I could troubleshoot connectivity issues. Eventually I had to RMA the device and recently received another defective router that lasted less than a day before it stopped working. I've contacted my assigned support rep (Dbahuleyan) but have not heard back since 6/23/19 (today is 7/11/19). I've had the device less than 1 year and purchased at Best Buy in person. As it stands I would not recommend anyone purchase this device because if you need help you will have to air out Netgear on the internet before someone will contact you back. Very disappointed that Netgear support is so bad and the firmware is so problematic. My netgear case is 41371579.

As a gamer this router definitely performs. I see low ping and no interruptions whatsoever. Just bought this for my 2000 square foot apartment and I have high speed internet in every nook and bedroom of the apartment. I even have the main router (not the satellite) in a closet behind closed doors and is still able to connect seamlessly to the satellite which drives most of my video game devices.

My Ring doorbell was slow in responding. My router is on the opposite end of my large home, but I had several extenders, so I was blaming the problem on the doorbell. After much research, I chose the Netgear Orbi Mesh System and my doorbells function the way they should. An added benefit is the app that shows Internet Speeds, send notifications when there are security threats and the Parental Controls.

I was in need of an extender for my current router...kind of like a repeater. I found out that the new thing is mesh system. It was more than I was wanting to spend but it was so easy to set up and does an excellent job of giving us a wider range for our upstairs loft that used to be spotty at best. Very happy and would buy again.

It works. I have great wifi throughout the house. For the first time.

The range is great, it covers the entire house, backyard & driveway. Easy to set up & very nice looking router.

I added this mesh system to my house and now get 2x the service i had

Perfect for two story homes. My home’s 2400 sq ft and I still get good WiFi signal outside for the ring cameras/backyard use. I recommend this! Used to have a 2 in 1 setup but it kept dropping offline and randomly disconnecting zoom classes, AppleTV, ring cameras,... This is robust and we are actually getting the 200mb/sec internet speeds we’re paying for.

I got this because I was having spots in my house that did not get the full speed as other areas that were closer to the router. This has fixed that, with the Satellite AP can be were I need the speed. Now I got 300 - 400 MB/s everywhere on my wireless devices. I did have to send in the Satellite for a replacement after about 6 months.

easy to set up easy to use. WiFi all through the house with no gaps. works extremely well. well worth the money

The product was easy to connect and I was able to get a great connection throughout the home.

These give really good coverage in ~3000 sq ft house. Setup is extremely easy, nice mobile app to manage it as well.
