    I've tried other options and the Orbi system is easy to set up and the wifi range is incredible. We bought an extra pod so my son could hardwire his computer. I definitely recommend this and it's worth the price.

    Great price, easy set-up, great performance. Needed some additional coverage in Wi-Fi unfriendly area of the house, & this solved the issue.

    So glad I took a chance on the home mesh network. Between all the devices, streaming/gaming in our large home and working from home, Orbi is a gift!

    I wish I would’ve switched earlier. The mesh system is so much better than the extenders that I previously had. No more dropping of my Internet and the speed is good too.

    This helped relay a solid signal to far parts of the house which were disconnecting. 4 orbis in the house and 280 mbs everywhere. I need to get a couple now for outside.

    Similar to many reviewers, I already had the Orbi System with router and satellite. When I saw the price had dropped $150, I just HAD to have another satellite unit for my tri-level home. The existing satellite unit was down in the lower level of the home. Now that I have a satellite for the upstairs, it covers the whole home and outside wireless. I think I should have read the instructions a little more carefully. If you already have the existing router and satellite, you should use the "sync" button to "merge" the new satellite into the system.

    I bought this for the easy set-up, and it lived up to expectations. The signal is great, but some reason we seem to drop the signal on the satellites. Still looking into the cause of that.

    Overall Orbi is the best option on the market. They have a number of different options and price points. My home is around 7500 sqft so I opted for this model as an addition to the RBK50 model. Setup is relatively easy you use an app, all the major controls are through their website though. I would recommend upgrading the unit as soon as you get it. Ethernet backhaul is available if needed with orbi firmware 2.0 or higher

    We didn’t get internet service in our back bedroom and parts of upstairs no matter how powerful a router and repeater we used. It was really frustrating. Couldn’t do office work upstairs or use a phone, computer, or smart tv in the back bedroom downstairs. Now, we don’t drop calls, lose time buffering, or have any dead zones for computing in the entire 3600 square foot house.

    We have had numerous problems over the years with our standard routers. We had dead spots all over our home and it was a pain to try to use cell phones or stream data in distant areas of the house and our porch areas. This product has eliminated all of these problems and we are experiencing no dead spots anywhere. We will be installing an outdoor rated unit near our detached garage in the near future. I recommend this product highly.

    I have a 3 story house, about 1000 square feet per floor. I have an Orbi on each floor and I could not be any happier with the coverage that this mesh network covers from top to bottom of my house. We have over 40 connected devices to our WIFI including Phillips Hue Lights, SONOS speakers, laptops, phones, iPads, etc and the coverage on each floor is just as good as the next. Highly recommend!!

    Getting much better reception in most of our home which is an improvement. However, there are still some slower spot. As far as setup was concerned, it rocked!! By far the easiest router setup I've ever done. It's also great to get rid of the extenders all over our house. Overall, very happy with the purchase and will continue to search for the 5 star location.

    I have the Orbi 3000 mesh system which was dropping connecting . It comprised of a best and one extended . Putting in a 3 rd leg in the mesh improved performance- less disconnects etc. I would get geek squad coverage because Netgear charges for coverage after a short period. I have a nighthawk system in another system which is a stronger performer as its newer technology

    I setup a tri-angle configuration, since I am covering the corners of a 3000 square foot place. They have been stable and move data as fast as my Comcast download speed, keeping up without a hiccup. Nice modern look/color also.
