Excellent upgrade, easy install

Upgraded from an Orbi Wi-Fi 5 with 2 satellites to an Orbi Wi-Fi 7 with 3 satellites. Replacement was simple, with no issues. Better coverage and improved speed.

I've had no problems.

I've had so many problems with my Internet, but within the last five days since putting it in, it's been great.

Not good with previous gen sys

Unsuccessfully tried to add a satellite to my existing 5-yr old ORBI router/satellite system. Not impressed at all with NETGEAR. App and instructions were poor; took forever to get it operational. Loses connection at least once per day and must be reset to reconnect. NETGEAR tech support from India was useless. Only interested in getting my contact info and selling a service plan. Will either try to find a used old-gen satellite or start over with a new non-NETGEAR system.

Good and Bad

My office is a remote part of the house and I need an extender to give me a reliable connection for work. I've had the Orbi up and running for a while, but due to some non-technical issues I had to disconnect it for over a month. Immediately I had a bad connection and my work noticed. I went to re-connect the Orbi and ran into set up problems. Overall I spent about 3 hours over several days trying different strategies. While the phone app is good at stepping through the process, when it gets confused it just keeps cycling the same instructions over and over.

Hard to believe but this product actually makes your internet signal pretty strong in area where it's hard to get signal.

I have tried other mesh network systems but only Orbi worked as advertised. Where everyone else failed Orbi excelled.

Whole-home mesh WiFi coverage.

Orbi transformed my property management with seamless WiFi across efficiencies and studios-no more dead zones for tenants streaming or working remotely. Setup was quick via app, speeds hit over 1 Gbps nearby on the 370 series, perfect for Fios in Florida.

Really nice with Mesh and the 3 routers!

I have 8000 sq property, used to use another router as extender but with these 3 Netgear ones im getting even better reception coverage and also without having to connect and disconnect to the extenders by my backyard pool. Having 1 SSID that handles seamlessly is very useful and a must. Setup was a breeze with the app and firmware automatically updated. Seamless and very nice setup, looks, coverage!

Amazing Upgrade

I live in an old, long building with thick walls. My previous WiFi system was just not cutting it with dead zones left and right. Orbi solved that problem, and I don't have to worry about switching to an extender network. Loving this system!

Easy first time setup

The mesh network was a simple setup out of the box with the Orbi system. It took me less than ten minutes to get the router and satellite functioning perfectly. I have one each in opposite diagonal corners of the house and I get great INTERNET speeds. Thanks for the QR codes and great app.

Review

We have had our system for a few years now and needed to upgrade to fiber optics but we could not access our account. We needed to do a reset to obtain access to our account. Everything went well except obtaining a temp password was a challenge that is why we needed to reset. This caused a little issue because then everything in our house had to be reconnected. But overall the connection to our fiber optics works great!

Solved my range problem

I was a bit tricky at first, but it works well once up and running. Don't really understand how to get a satellite to hop through another satellite so the far satellite didn't seem to have good connection at first, but after a day or two, it seems to correct itself. Also couldn't figure out have to setup 2.4ghz network.
