    Best Router on market

    The Netgear - Orbi Tri-band Wi-fi System is the best router on the market. I had purchased wireless security cameras for outside of my home and could not get a strong enough signal to reach them until I purchased this system. It seemed a little expensive at first, but it is worth the money. It also greatly improved the wifi signal to my tv's and computers all around my home. Highly recommended.

    This system gives me 5 bars all over the house and outside as well. The only problems are you can't manually determine which frequency to use (2.4 vs. 5). Also, if you sync something to the router first and then move it to the satellite area - it won't switch to the satellite - it'll stay synced to the route - farther away and I run into some issues with speed. To me those should be easy fixes - just hoping for an update.

    I have a 4000ish sq. ft. home (ranch) and having one set up on the main floor and one in the basement has given me great speeds throughout t he house as well as outside! I have particularly thick walls and some sides are thick cement and this guy still manages to push through with great signal strength and speeds. Definitely recommended and I have no regrets!

    I have always been a Netgear person...and for the longest was using a N Gigbit router...When I upgraded my internet to use fiber, I wasn't ready to update my router since my current is still functional. But now with the Orbi, I am getting my money's worth pushing the full speed of what my fiber 1G up and down.

    Had issue with setting up router. I have Rise Broadband that does not use a modem. After 4 hours on the phone with Netgear and Rise. Do not set the MAC address to what’s on the bottom of the router, have it set what your Orbi is defaulting to in the browser settings. And try not to set up the Orbi from the app. Once everything was set up on both ends, it runs great.

    It was not quite plug and play but after about an hour I was up and running. I bought this to have wi-fi in a remote bldg. main unit in the house. The second unit I put in another bldg about 50’ away. This gave me the reach to have wi-fi in my workshop which is another 150’ away. Seems to have plenty of power to run all my TV options.

    I have looked at a couple of mesh WiFi systems before choosing the Netgear Orbi. Here are my decision criteria: good brandname, dedicated channel between base station and satellite, 3 Ethernet ports on each base station and satellite. Installation was simple, the app works fine on iOS, and the data throughput is stable high. Couple of weeks in I had not had a single dropout.

    If you want quick internet access, reliable service and easy installation, I would recommend the Orbi whole home system. My home is 4,000 sq feet and all on one level. I used to have multiple access points, each with a different name, Going from one part of the house to another was a pain. Now, it just plain simple. We have excellent coverage and no area where coverage is a problem,

    We needed to upgrade our wifi for working from home. Geek Squad helped put together the mesh network, shipped us the pieces, and helped install the system via phone conference. It's all working just as hoped. Once again, Geek Squad and Best Buy reinforce why they are my go-to electronics -- gear and support.

    This has been on of my better purchases over the last few years. The 2 pack Orbi give me exceptional coverage over my entire property, as well as on my neighbors property too, which works well because we have family next door and I can stay on my network. Easy setup and have not had any issues over the last 8 months of owning this. Highly recommended!!!

    Easy set up, great range, supports 3 teen gamers and two Disney YouTube obsessed adults! Purchased to upgrade when local cable lines were upgraded after Hurricane Delta. I wish I would have waited for the modem/router combo, but these work great and I like that I can expand when I am ready.

    I like these. ORBI has been very easy to setup and use. This is my second pair as I left the others at my Mom's house. I can only say that I ALWAYS buy Netgear products. I've only had one failure and that's one I bought renewed. The satellite broke.
