Orbi system review

This was my first time buying his product and I'm pretty happy with the setup. I just use one satellite to boost my wifi around my house and I have not noticed any dead zones inside or outside when I'm using wifi. The app runs great on my android phone and is great at letting me know if there are any issues with the signal. Only issue, I have had was having to unplug it on occasion to reset the network when I loose signal a few times out of the month. Not sure the reason why and my orbi does not have a blue light around the top anymore but, I can't figure it out on my own. That's why I took one star off this rating

User-Friendly and app is helpful

I previously used the Orbi on a modem less than 5GHz and worked fine. Since upgrading to 1 gig internet, the system continues to connect the personal and smart devices.

Orbi Mesh = Big Improvement

The Orbi Home Mesh WiFi has been a huge improvement to my home; with the 2 additional satellites, I have the ability to stream in any room without buffering or lag. The app is also easy to use and offers a tremendous amount of information. I'd buy it again.

Works really well

I had a bit of an issue setting it up on the app, but then I called customer service and they were so helpful and helped me set it up properly! Once that was all set up, my internet service is night and day! Works really well!

Product great when newer

When we first bought the router and satellite, it was great for extending our Internet to the upstairs but unfortunately, one of our dogs chewed through the cord on the router. It must fried the system because the new cord didn't even work so I ordered a new router and then suddenly my satellite no longer worked When I talked to Netgear about it. They said there was nothing I could do. It was just outdated and I needed to replace I wasn't happy about having to replace both at the same time because they are rather expensive? they should be made to allow updates so for now I'm doing just the router and not extending it with a satellite

Great addition for our internet

Works great at our cabin. Strong signal across multiple nearby cabins and easy to set up. Reliable and fast. I would recommend this to anyone needing solid coverage in a bigger area.

It works!

I was having connection issues and ask my son who works for Microsoft and is quite knowledgeable with computer and related connection issues. He recommended the Orbi Home Mesh WiFi system. I was surprised about the cost but now that it is in and working especially away from the house when I am out in the garden and in the fields around the house it works.

Easy setup, steady speed

I bought my Orbi system many years ago now and still works perfectly fine. It was easy to setup, and gives great signal throughout my home.

Works well, but set up issues

It works great, but during setup it said to wait until it becomes solid white. It never did. I spent an hour trying. I lied and said it was solid white when it was blinking white and that worked. Wasted some time, but works great now.

No able to disable

An excellent system. Works fine but to have a 5GHz network you have to wire them because of limitations on that band. For wireless distribution, you have to use the 2.4GHz band. It would be nice to be able to disable the 2.4GHz band though

Replaced old lynksys router with Orbi and one indoor satellite at other side of house and now wifi connects to shed garage opener! Will eventually purchase outdoor satellite to expand wifi for outdoor security cameras further out on property. Good product

Fixed my FIOS

Was having terrible Wi-Fi connections with FIOS router. Constant lag requiring me to disconnect and restart router. Set up my NETGEAR Orbi Router and haven't had a problem since! Even getting faster speeds than the native FIOS router Wi-Fi. NETGEAR Orbi gives me rock solid connections, faster speeds, and easier use through the app. Absolutely recommend!

This is my 2nd system I have set up. It is very easy to do. This system allows you to have wifi in any dead you might have. The Router and Satellite makes wifi available through the areas that it is needed in. The software updates in the middle of the night automatically. Enjoy this Orbi.

Seems ok most of the time

So far it was easy to set up. However, not sure yet how well it works, it still seems almost the same signal as I have with my regular internet before. Nothing better and sometimes it is slow or goes back and forth between the old and new one. So not much difference I can see yet. hopefully it improves over time....

Great Product - Worth it

By shyjuezy

Before this system, I had a router and extender. My wifi goes in and out several times a day. I thought the issue was with the ISP. Finally, I decided to switch from traditional Wifi to mesh technology. It was an eye opener to me, my internet speed reached peak point of our ISP's bandwidth and so does the internet stay alive.
