Very easy setup

At 75 years old female, I found the Orbi mesh was very easy to setup and maintain. It performs seamlessly and is protecting my network from unwanted hackers. I have it sends me messsage to let me know when it protected my network from being compromised. It sure opened my eyes on how many scammers/hackers are out there trying to compromise home networks.

A solid, 2 unit, mesh wifi router.

Have had this router going strong for 8 years. Have recorded max speeds of 929mb/s with Xfinity on a 1gb/s plan. I can't report on wifi/wired performance with a wired backhaul but with a wireless backhaul I can get maybe 2/3 that speed when connected to the satellite unit.

Does what it promises.

One Orbi in the office and one in the living room. Now we have good wifi reception through the whole (two story, 2400 square feet) house and the whole yard as well. Very happy.

Pretty good!

This product (mesh router and satellite) works much much better than my old router. Only downside is the reason we got the satellites/ mesh router is because our house is old and has thick walls. There are some zones where the satellites will just not connect to the main router. But for the most part it's pretty effective

Orbi RBS50 - great for home

This system has worked out extremely well. I've got the router plus four satellites positioned around my property, and the wifi is always above 500 mbps, I've got over 16 devices connected at any one time with no lag, i also have the ability to set up a guest Wi-Fi, which works out great. And I don't have any complaints with this system. It stays consistent and I haven't had any issues with it, great security software that comes with this sytem, i feel confident using this system and hou should too, great product!!!

Does the job

This is a pretty solid Wifi 5 system. It gets great coverage in my huge old Victorian house with 2 satellites and a base, but doesn't have all the bells and whistles of newer more open source systems. I would also appreciate the speed of a 6E or 7 system but considering I've had this for 9 years I think it's doing great.

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 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.

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!
