Rated 5 out of 5 by from NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 6 System Improves signal strength and speeds throughout my house. I purchased the router with one satellite and it has proved sufficient for 4,000 sqft. I was hoping that the satellites would provide better speeds than they are currently, but it is definitely better than a non mesh system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ORBI Mesh 6 AX6000 I’m quite satisfied with my Wi-Fi coverage at this point. The only thing that concerns me is I’m not able to choose between 2.4 or 5 GHz. It’s only happened once in the past three weeks where I lost coverage momentarily on a TV. I find out the connection is 5GHz and am unable to change. Secondly I keep getting notifications on the ORBI app of an update and proceed to do so however when checking the router settings in the app the firmware version is 4.6.14.3 which is the latest. So I don’t know why the update continues to show up

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent wifi coverage Old house had wifi issue while using google mesh, by switching to orbi, it’s a game change, wifi consistently thru out the house. App is easy to use. But lack of advanced control if you stick with basic ones. You have to pay in order to get advanced control. Over all , I definitely will recommend this device to whoever has larger house and lots of obstacles in between.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doesn’t quite meet my expectations Bought the product due to internet provider having a weak router. I figured a mesh system would operate better. Purchased when it was $100 off. Overall it is better than the internet providers router but it doesn’t perform as well as I would like for $800. The Orbi app shows I am getting my speeds from the modem but then the WiFi speed is much slower. On top of that, I get buffering sometimes when only 1 device is streaming (and it’s right next to the router). Incredibly disappointing. I’ve tried other products and they don’t work quite as well. Still a little disappointing for spending $800 on a WiFi system.

A plus is that it gives me a separate guest network.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No more dead spots! We have a two story home and we used to struggle with dead spots in the house along with slow speeds throughout the house unless we were Ethernet cabled in. I know there are great set ups with APs, but I did not want to deal with the hassle with setting those up so we went with the new WiFi 6 Orbi system and it has the best results! Over 200% increase in internet speeds and our wifi reaches the whole house with no dead spots. This is a must purchase for those who do not want complexity! Plug and play right out of the box as they would say.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The speed fix that was needed for an older home We recently moved into an older home with a lot of brick and solid wood. Our wifi speeds and connectivity was terrible. I looked into running ethernet, but that was going to cost way too much. Investing in the Orbi system was exactly what we needed. My wife and I both work from home and game together. We have amazing speeds with low latency for all our devices. This is the easy fix everyone should get.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple network This works decent for range and is easy to set up. The speeds tend to lean on 2.4 wifi which is slower, even when close to the main router. You are also restricted to one SSID, where it auto picks your settings. For many this will be welcome for simplicity sake, but if you want the fastest wifi you can taylor this isn't what you want.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than previous ORBI I've wanted to upgrade our Netgear Orbi system for a while. I recently purchased a Mesh WiFi 6 system a few weeks ago. The results are AWESOME!! My computer (wireless) is hitting almost 400 Mbps (double my previous speed). I am now wondering if a third satellite would be FASTER. A connected computer shows 950 Mbps. Crazy fast AND can handle many devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A nice upgrade We have been very happy with Netgear’s Orbi product. We started with the RBR40 router and 2 satellites. Not only did it remove dead spots in the house the coverage was up to 6500 sq. ft to allow us to still have connection at the very edge of our property outdoors. We noticed as we had more and more IoT devices in the house, and more of us are working from home and attending online classes, we have overwhelmed that setup, so we upgraded to the RBR850 with 2 satellites. Now we can handle up to 100 devices online at once, and 8500 sq feet of coverage. It would be hard to believe we’ll be anything but Orbi customers in the future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent System We have a 2,700 sf home on one level and pleanty of walls. Our ATT gateway couldn’t get wifi everywhere reliably. Orbi 852 mesh router has optimized our wifi. Pleanty of signal strength and ethernet ports. I oriented the router and satellite for strongest signal. Our home is wired for ethernet, so we connected the satellite and tv’s directly. That worked the best. Easy installation with the app. More help/explanation or automated help about more technical issues like ipv6 and bridging the gateway so you don’t get duplicate Wifi signals would have helped for someone like me that has not done this process or understand the terminology and affects of changing gateway settings would have helped. Overall, an excellent system and I would definitely recommend or purchase this system again. Orbi was the perfect solution for us. Thanks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Other Wordly WiFi Coverage The Netgear Orbi mesh system is an excellent way to expand your WiFi coverage. The Orbi router and accompanying satellites can cover a medium size apartment building. We removed the conventional cable WiFi network in our furnished buildings and the Orbi system, with an Arris modem, worked far outside into the street. Average wireless download speed throughout was 600 MBS, enough to drive personal devices and smart televisions everywhere. This saved us $150 per unit for individual WiFi service by locating the router in one unit. Highly, highly recommended!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Coverage I purchased a Linksys Velop system in December of 2020 and worked with their tech services multiple times to attempt to improve the coverage. It was so bad that I was only getting 25MBPS at the downstairs child unit standing right beside it. I finally gave up and purchased this NETGEAR ORBI MESH system and my coverage is now my entire house, to include my basement and outside for my Smoker. It may not be the cheapest system but it certainly won me over with its coverage. Highly recommend...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Range and Very Fast I live in a sprawling rancher, so connectivity throughout is difficult. The Orbi solved that problem with the main and one satellite. I probably would not even need the satellite, but I need Ethernet connections in my office, so the satellite gives me gigabit Ethernet. The only glitch was the phone app is not 100% correct in setting up the satellite. Online directions cured that.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good router, complicated setup The router is operating efficiently with good signal coverage over a much wider range than the router it replaced, due in large part to the satellite unit. Set up in my case was complicated by extra security constraints on my laptop and iPhone that prevented seamless configuration. The technical support individual was patient and knowledgeable, but it took about a hour with some trial and error to complete the configuration. The iPhone app is a useful monitoring tool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but cannot have additional networks The only exception and complain is that this system does not let you create a network for 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz. It is definitely a problem for legacy systems. I hope they can change it in the near future or provide a different solution for the problem. It is curious that this feature was present in other models like nighthawk but removed from mesh.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing speed and range! I upgraded to this system recently after seeing a performance drop off from my old system. We have several outdoor WiFi devices at my house - LED lights, garage door openers, blink cameras, etc. that we’re struggling to stay connected to my old network. With this new Netgear Orbi system, all of my problems have been resolved and then some! I placed the router on the main floor of my house and I placed the satellite upstairs in a room diagonal from the router. I can pull down 220 mbps from anywhere in my house (we have 200mbps service from Spectrum. Outside in my yard, the lowest performance I’ve seen when testing is still over 100mbps which is more than enough for any of my devices that are located outside. I highly recommend this system and am very pleased with my decision to upgrade to this setup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Speeds Drop Off I bought this during covid to increase the wifi range of my home and it sadly did not do the job. I have gigabit speed plan and was planning on transferring this across my home and this is just not possible. The speed decrease is monumental between each satellite with speeds being as low as 8 megabits per second. The claims of 5,000 sqft. also do not support this as my house is less than this. I am advising you to not spend the money for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product I’ve done lots of research and looked at tons of reviews for mesh networks. This one seems to be the best and I would agree. I get impeccable coverage with xfinity as my ISP. I pay for 1GB speeds and I’m getting 920 MBPS on devices that are connected via WiFi. Our household has close to 40 devices connected and I haven’t seen a drop in performance. I’m currently using the modem my ISP provided and will be getting a Netgear modem later this week and I’m hoping that makes things even more snappy. I haven’t heard my wife complain that she had to use her phone hotspot or switch to cellular connection on her iPhone either. I recommend everyone who has spotty coverage to look into this. I have 4 floors in my townhome. I have one satellite in the 1st floor basement and one in the laundry room/closet on the 3rd floor the base station is located on the 2nd floor in the family room. I’m happy to report that the signal extends to my 4th floor loft, my garage, and my outdoor loft deck. The devices themselves aren’t bulky and look sleek and modern so even if they are exposed it doesn’t look bad at all. The app is easy to use and setup was fairly easy. One thing I do like about this is if power does go out all the satellites reconnect on their own to the base station and no additional work needs to be done. I hope this review has been helpful to you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi Pro Wifi 6 Review This will be a bitter-sweet review on the Orbi WiFi 6 System. The reason, is because I had spent a LOT of money on the new RAX80 Wifi6 Router from Netgear not too long ago. Trying to get this configured to work as a Mesh configuration with another new Netgear Wifi6 router (X6S, enabling MU-MIMO was just not reliable. So, all of that money was a waste and too late to return. That being said, I decided to bite the bullet and spend the almost $700 for the Orbi WiFi 6 system. The reviews I had read were good and I needed this to work. It was quick to configure, almost plug and play. It automatically detected the satellite router and connected it to the main router. The Orbi has to be used in a "Main Router" - "Satellite" configuration. You cannot use the Satellite(s) as a main router. This worked like a charm and has worked ever since it was configured, garnering great throughput throughout the house. Absolutely zero complains thus far. I would definitely recommend this purchase.

After reviewing my network it was apparent that my in wall cabling was inadequate, and my old routers could not support the new modem. It was equally frustrating that I had three different names to routers in my home. It seemed obvious that I needed to consolidate everything into a new mesh network. It all came down to Google or Netgear. The Orbi tri-band won out because of it’s three bands and projected speeds. I was not disappointed. Up and down load speeds are in the 800 to 900 range. I am still having fun doing speed checks from all around my house, and now even outside by the pool. I could not have made a better choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WiFi is fast again I have used other mesh WiFi systems like Eero and Amplifi and they were better than just a regular WiFi router. Switching to the Orbi has been night and day. My speeds are fantastic everywhere now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great coverage! I was on the fence with this and the Eero Pro 6E, but I wanted more built in ethernet ports. Orbi works great for my needs as I use it for gaming and work. I use the satellite in my home office, my desktop is connected to it via ethernet. Just a note, these are pretty big at 10 inches tall, did not realize that from the images. Very happy with the purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I feel the need for speed Got the 1000mb package from Comcast and was getting 40mb on WiFi from their gateway. Plugged in the Orbi and I’m clocking 730mb on my iPhone! My kids old PlayStation went from 50kb to 350mb, and there’s no more weak signal in any part of the house. I’m no techie and I had it up and running in about 10 minutes, just plug it in and it does everything else by itself. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made and shouldn’t have to upgrade for at least another 10 years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Buggy Web Interface & Lacks Common Features 05/20 I've owned the old Orbi mesh system for over a year with relatively few issues (incompatibility with Sky Q satellite TV in the UK aside). Thought I'd upgrade to the latest with Wi-Fi 6 support. Had the RBK852 for for about a week. Pretty underwhelmed and disappointed to be honest. Had lots of problems setting it up, and I work in IT so have some idea of what I'm doing. Cost me a whole day last weekend. Very frustrating, but I finally got it to work, and it seems OK so far. Wi-Fi coverage is decent (at least as decent as the old Orbi, which was pretty good). Wi-Fi speed also seems OK so far. But what's so disappointing is the buggy web interface (in particular) and app, and lack of common (often essential, in my view) features with the latest firmware. QoS? Not yet. Disney Circle parental controls. Not yet. IPV6? Nope. Basic wi-fi options such as MI-MO and beamforming? Uh-uh. I could go on. And the web interface is so buggy. Access Control is particularly unreliable and easy to break. The attached devices list is often different depending on whether you use the Orbi mobile app or the web interface. Again, I could go on. Can you get it to work? Yes. Is it reliable when you finally get it working? Seems to be so far. Hence the 3 stars. TLDR; the new Orbi feels like it's just not ready for market yet. It's a public beta at the moment, and as of 29th May 2020 is still several firmware releases away from being something I could recommend. It's OK if you get lucky/persevere and don't care about or need to mess with settings much, or care about your kids accessing internet stuff they shouldn't. I'm currently undecided whether to return it or not. If I keep it, I might update this review accordingly a few firmware releases down the line.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unfinished product I bought the new Wifi 6 Orbi set replacing my 'old' Orbi router. I expected my old satellites to work with this setup but they don't (only using power line adapters and a cable). The speed is less than the old setup and now and then the signal drops all together... the software is not really reliable. So after spending a lot of money I moved backwards. Not what I expected from Netgear. Hopefully software updates will fix the problems ASAP.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic hardware, poor and limited firmware. Hardware is only as good as its firmware. The good: The WiFi speed and range is awesome! This reached way further than my nighthawk. The bad: The firmware and software. It is really slow and the features are INCREDIBLY limited. If you want anything beyond plugging it in and that's it, I wouldn't recommend this unit. For example, a lot of features that are available on most other routers aren't available here, like specifying a source IP address when setting up port forwarding, or specifying DNS IP addresses for your LAN clients. These little missing features just kept adding up to the point where I couldn't keep it and I'm planning on returning it. It's too bad because the hardware is fantastic, but the firmware is a dog's breakfast. Honestly, I was surprised that I was able to change the starting and ending DHCP addresses after using the firmware after a while. That was a nice surprise, but with missing features like this, I can't keep this unit, which is sad because the hardware is really good. I might see if they have an orbi product that is just a wifi access point and then I can put it behind my $60 router that I can use as DHCP/firewall has more functionality than the orbi router (that's pretty sad, IMO). I don't think I could justify spending $700 on access points, so I hope they sell a product like that. What made it more frustrating is when I tried to contact support and asked if there was any workaround, all I got was "why would you want/need to do that??" I found I really had to explain myself and my setup a lot when contacting Netgear, which was frustrating. Then I basically got the answer "you cannot do that". So even if I could find workarounds for these limitations, I definitely wouldn't purchase the Netgear support plan as it's essentially not very useful. When I asked about specifying the source IP for port forwarding, I was told that I could enable remote management on the router to do it from outside the home. When I tried to clarify that wasn't what I wanted and why I required it, they said that I could create an IP reservation. I just don't think they know the product very well, and they're probably just flipping through the manual. So, if you just need a good WIFI mesh at home and don't care about tweaking things and you just want an connection, this would be perfect. If you need to change some network settings, or have some special configuration requirements (eg: running your own DNS server), you won't be able to do with this firmware.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple setup and great performance I’ve only had the product for a few weeks but so far it’s been great. Our previous router was a high end product as well but the wireless range only covered about 75% of the house with significant drop off in speeds the farther away and we had issues with too many devices so it would start kicking others off the network. Picked up this Orbi and so far it’s eliminated all of our issues, provides the speeds I pay for and has enough wired ports to cover our wired computers. We tried the Eero as it came with our service but it only had one lan port which doesn’t work for us. I was also concerned as we live in a pretty congested area and easily 30 wireless networks are nearby but I haven’t noticed any kind of interference or issues with being surrounded by other networks. Very pleased with our purchase so far.

Haven’t had an issue since, and my previous buffering issues with the Spectrum-issued combo substandard unit are gone. The Orbi is expensive but worth the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really easy setup I bought this to replace a pair of Asus 86U WiFi routers that I run in meshed AP mode. The setup on the Orbi was really easy - plug in the main router, then the satellite, and they automatically mesh. In comparison, one needs to login to the Asus routers through the web browser interface and manually set them to mesh, designating one as the master and the other as the satellite. The Orbi smartphone app was easier to use than logging in to the Orbi router through a web browser and functioned beautifully, although it did not offer the option to switch from router (DHCP) mode into AP mode and use the Orbi solely as a WiFi radio without router functionality. Had to login through the web browser to do that. Range wise - I found the 5 Mhz band range a bit better than the Asus, and the 2.4 about the same. The Orbi system automatically switches to whichever band will provide the best signal, a nice feature. The system is pricey, but comes with a 1 year warranty and hopefully lasts awhile. Online support and "how tos" on the Netgear site are superior. I rate the system only 4 stars because of its price, and I had expected a bit more range from the radios. At a better price, it deserves 5 stars. I have a Netgear Nighthawk 7900 that has superior range over anything I have ever used, and given the Orbi price, expected something close. Orbi is very good, but not outstanding on that front.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing difference! For several years we have been struggling with poor internet behavior in our home and (since covid hit) home offices. I had suspected that our previous Linksys wifi router was the problem. Reading some online reviews pointed me to the Orbi. Since it was a bit pricier than I was expecting, would it be worth it? Yes, it most certainly was. The distributed connection points and efficient handling of network traffic was immediately noticeable, from our office computers to our streaming video, and even to our remote IoT devices!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not capable of WiFi speeds above 500Mpbs I love Netgear Orbi Mesh routers because they are the most capable routers available and highly configurable. I have compared them with the Eero Pro 6 and TP-Link Deco XE200 (AXE11000). Eero routers are very basic and suitable for those who don't need customizable routers. They lack a built-in VPN and are incompatible with OpenVPN; they only have one extra Ethernet port. The Deco XE200 is a good WiFi 6E router with powerful antennas, a 10 Gbps port, and two 1 Gbps ports, but I couldn't get the built-in VPN to work with OpenVPN due to limited guidance and support. The Orbi RBR850/AX6000 is a solid WiFi 6 router (not 6E) with four 1 Gbps ports, powerful antennas, and an easy-to-configure VPN using OpenVPN. However, I would advise against purchasing this router model (RBR850) if you're aiming to achieve 1 gig or 1000 Mbps via WiFi. I have a 1 gig connection with Spectrum (cable) and another 1 gig with Frontier (fiber) and tested this router with both services. While I can get close to 1000 Mbps when connected via Ethernet, I couldn't even reach 500 Mbps when connected via WiFi. The speed I get with RBR850 (AX6000) is similar to the speed I get with my RBR50 (AC3000) when connected via CAT5e, CAT6, or CAT7 Ethernet cables (I tested all three). The RBR850's WiFi speed is also very close to the RBR50 when connected via WiFi (ranging from 300 to 490 Mbps), so there isn't a significant difference between the two. The only advantage of the RBR850 is its slightly more powerful antenna, which provides better coverage compared to the RBR50. Therefore, I recommend against buying the RBR850. Instead, consider a long-term investment, such as the Orbi RBR50, which I've been using for almost seven years. If you're looking for an upgrade, think about investing in the Orbi 960 WiFi 6E AXE11000 (RBKE962) or, if you have the budget, the Orbi 970 WiFi 7 BE27000 Mesh WiFi System (RBE972S). These two mesh systems will serve you well for the next five years or more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi Wifi Mesh I had been using a Synology router for the last 5 years, with 42 devices online, it bogged it down and was time to upgrade. We choose the Orbi because of Netgear reputation and experience with the product; we selected the system with 1 satellite unit. While the system itself was not cooperating with the iPhone app for setup, using the web interface was painless and setup in a few minutes. The increased throughput for all the internal devices was amazing; while the Orbi is a bit pricey, it is worth every dollar; especially when compared to the Ecco from Amazon. Very pleased with the anti-malware protection as well. It has proven itself worth the subscription when the trial is over. A

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crazy good but setup needs work Overall the Orbi WiFi 6 has significantly improved the coverage and streaming speeds. Originally I felt that I was not getting the internet speed I subscribe to as my speedtest results were always so poor. Once I got the Orbi system set up, my WiFi speeds match my ethernet speeds. Super happy with the incredible coverage range and blazing fast speed wifi 6 brings. Setup on the other hand needs a lot of work. Even though I had the two satellites in the same room as the router they would not connect. I ultimately went through the process about 6 times with having to hit the reset button each time on all devices. Finally on the 6th attempt and 3 hours later everything connected together.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing System! I’ve been through several extenders and one mesh system. None of them could handle my security cameras in my back yard. So I replaced the last mesh system with the AX6000 and these dead zones no longer exist! Coverage can handle my security cameras plus some! My entire back yard is covered by this system. I recommend this to anyone having the same problems that I have faced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Choice During the Transition to Remote Work As everyone is aware many recently shifted to working remotely. Prior to my purchase of the Orbi system there was always the fear that I would lose internet (and it indeed happened many times, not at the best times). Since upgrading this has become a non-issue. Multiple devices, some streaming, others gaming, and most importantly getting work done with not a single problem. This system is great, and I highly recommend to any using multiple devices across rooms looking for a reliable connection. This was a life saver!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi is our Shazam Our family has been Eero users for many years and our system was starting to act poorly. After contacting Eero’s customer service no resolutions were ever offered other than to turn it our system off and on or “just buy something different.” Well, we did buy something different and it wasn’t Eero’s latest and greatest as the technical team suggested 13 times in a two hour phone call. We splurged on Orbi and it has exceeded our expectations. It is easy to setup and the power the system offers is unparalleled. I give all my thanks to the Eero team for wasting hours of my time and encouraging me to purchase another system. Our new Orbi system blows away what the 8 Eero pods that we were using and I strongly encourage anyone to only consider Orbi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Router - Recommend After having my ASUS router fail after years of service I purchased a LINKSYS WIFI 6 to replace it.

Full coverage of almost 3000 SQ FT (two story) home. It has been outstanding and I would recommend this to anyone. I have the strongest signals ever and it even covers the driveway and backyard.

Only gripe is that the app makes you wait a few minutes between steps to showcase all the features which isn’t needed. However, once I was set up I was able to easily change the name and password to my existing network and all my devices reconnected no problem. The mesh connections over Google Wifi is 10x faster from my experience and getting Wifi in my backyard is no issue as well. The Orbu App is great and I haven’t even cracked the surface with its available features

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product So I will start by saying that the Orbi is an amazing system we had the first Orbi system and decided to upgrade for the new system. On the Con side I will say that linking my new Orbi and my Netgear account wasn’t as straight forward as I would have liked. We started in the app and just clicked the set-up new device after going through the process on the app the WiFi did not have internet access. The only way we were able to set it up all the way was to not link the account at the beginning. After setting up the Orbi it took a few calls to Netgear to get everything linked together. The only other issue that I have is having to go through and reassign all my devices to the appropriate profiles under the parental controls.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh System Purchased the AX6000 (RBK852) to replace my aging Apple AirPort Extreme and Apple AirPort Express and to “future proof” our system a bit. I wanted to take full advantage of our ISP’s capacity and I had recently purchased a new modem (cm1150v). Now that the AX6000 is set up and our devices have been reprogrammed I have noticed improved speeds for both down- and up- loads as well as reduced latency, or ping. The router and one satellite provide adequate coverage for our moderately large house, including the garage. I wish there was an app for desktop/laptop computers and not just for a mobile device. The router and satellite setup are straightforward, but I admit to having issues. It was not until I followed the instructions to the letter that I was able to get the system working. My biggest error was that I thought I could leave my old router in place or working until I had the new one set up (I really did have to unplug everything). Once the new system was working I found that I could reprogram my existing AirPort Expresses to work in the system in order to use AirPlay to stream music to powered speakers. In the short time I have owned the AX6000 is have had no problems with the system. We routinely use only wireless connections throughout our house. With gigabit service to the modem, download speeds to my iMac 25 feet from the router are around 70-85% of what I did get with a direct ethernet link and the uploads are 90-100% (I had to have an ethernet connection briefly when I set up the new modem). This is more than twice as fast as our previous Wi-Fi network. When I move to the lowest floor, two stories below the router and one story below the satellite, the download and upload speeds drop off to 45-60% and 80-95% respectively. I am not using absolute speeds (Mbps) because am not a computer expert and am not sure how accurate my measurements are. I have tried at least a half dozen different sites that purport to measure internet speeds and I have found considerable differences between sites, not to mention variations in speeds for any given site depending upon the time of day. Finally, all of our devices are 802.11ac/n compatible and work just fine with the new Wi-Fi system. I am rating this with 4 stars because I think the setup process and software/apps could be improved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Fast Reliable Internet Finally! I was skeptical to upgrade due to cost, but am impressed by the vast speed improvements over wireless. I have Cox Gigablast and was getting ~100MB on wireless before with my machine 10 feet away. I am consistently pinging at ~500MB on wireless now. Easy setup, no drops in the connection, fast speeds, overall very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi 6 Ultra What a leap upward since my last Asus beam forming router. This made a huge difference with multiple VTCs going on at my 4000 sqft house. I can now receive high bandwidth on the other side of the house upstairs and all the way to the curb. Only required one satellite. No regrets/no issues. What are you waiting for?!?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great Had purchased this as an upgrade to outdated mesh network that needed several access points to cover the space. First Orbi router was a lemon and replaced it after trying to figure things out with tech support. It took a few different tech ppl to figure it out, but last guy was amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Deceptive Does not work as advertised. I purchased and tested an AX6000 system with 2 satellites connected via wired backhaul. There is a problem with firmware. 2.4ghz clients would end up connecting to the main router only even though it was further away and had barely any signal causing performance problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A whole new universe RBK 850: Large home, ICF walls, lots of devices and kids. This system solved all the problems.... no buffering, no freezing, seamless connection no matter where the devices are roaming around, takes advantage of the gigabyte speed offered by my internet provider. Everything is lightning fast. If you hardwire directly to the router with a Cat 7 or Cat 8, we are talking serious speed. Took 10 minutes to set up. Loved the security features of the Armor software so added a subscription for that after a week. Loved getting an alert if a new device logged on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi system Overall the Orbi two satellite system works pretty well in my house especially on the first and second floors of the house. The first floor is 1941 square feet and the second floor is 1746 square feet which I placed one of the satellite on this floor. The other satellite is in the basement which is 1876 square feet and doesn’t work as well as the second floor satellite. The satellite in the basement doesn’t cover the whole basement and the farther you get from the satellite the weaker the signal gets. So it appears that I will need to get another satellite for the basement in order to have coverage throughout the basement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great system We have struggled with Wi-Fi range in our house for a long time. Our office is on one end of the house and our kids remote “classroom” on the other. We were lucky to get 10 mbps download in this classroom, so trying to juggle zoom meetings and work meetings. I purchased the Orbi, set the router up in the office and we get 700-900mbps there on Wi-Fi and 200-300mbps in the classroom. We can now all work and learn at the same time, in different areas of the house without Wi-Fi issues. It is expensive but worth it for our needs! And super easy to set up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Absolute BEST I purchased my Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi 6 System just two weeks ago. It arrived quickly and even opening it was an experience. The packaging was reminiscent of Apple products so I knew there was a lot of care in making the system in the box. Netgear is obviously proud of their work! Rightfully so. Directions for setup were short and I was up and running with the base station and two satellites in about 10 minutes. That’s it! It just works! I have a carrier with 1000 Mbs and with the Netgear Mesh System I’m getting 600-900 Mbs everywhere in my home, deck, patio, garage etc. who could ask for anything more! Bravo Netgear - you’ve really set the bar for the next generation of Wi-Fi!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome I never knew how much my router was limiting my bandwidth! I have fiber optic internet and has been using a nighthawk router for this past year. I thought that 250 megabyte speed and the 50% signal in the master bedroom at the other end of the house was the best I could expect. Now with the Orbi tri-mesh system I get 970 megabyte per second upload and downloads, and my signal strength is 100% through the whole house - especially the master bedroom because of the dedicated satellite unit. I would recommend this system to anyone that has internet faster than the 250 megs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not fully complete The Netgear Wi-Fi 6 works well for the large range it covers with router and satellite. However they have NOT planned for people who need extra satellites for larger houses where two access points are not enough. Their customer service provides no answer when this might be available. If you need larger coverage don’t buy this until they have have a plan for more satellites. Until then this is a promising but incomplete solution.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome My Orbi RBK852 is an awesome improvement over my old Linksys WRT3200ACM with D-Link access point home network setup. The installation was quick and easy, even in my neighborhood's crowded WI-FI landscape. My wireless signal is much stronger than before and the default channels selected by the Orbi have worked well (no dropped or laggy connections). I have my satellite Orbi setup with wired backhaul and my wi-fi speeds are very fast. The combination of 2.4, 5, and 6 bands seems to be working seamlessly so far. The Orbi app is user friendly and easy to manage all of my network devices with. I am running a guest network for visitors and I put all my IOT (internet of things) devices on it as well for added security (sprinklers, flood sensors, plugs, etc). This setup works seamlessly. I was pleasantly surprised by the Netgear Armor network security software. It seems to work well protecting my network and all my PCs, Macs, cell phones, and tablets with the included Bitdefender antivirus. Unless they increase the price for the Netgear Armor service in the future, I will be replacing all my antivirus with Netgear Armor. I did have some trouble pairing the Netgear Orbi app with the Bitdefender Antivirus app for one PC laptop and one Mac laptop, but was eventually able to get them paired. Even if you can't pair the antivirus with the Orbi app, the antivirus still works standalone program just fine. It just doesn't show in the Orbi app. This is an awesome system, that is WORTH THE MONEY.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better speed than I imagined I had another brand mesh router purchased about 5 years ago. The last month or so I noticed a lot of small issues with video streaming and downloads on my computer not completing. I thought it was Comcast or my modem. I could not pinpoint to that, so I decided to upgrade to Netgear Orbi since I did have a Nighthawk in the past and was impressed. WiFi 6 is flipping fast! I have 1.3Gbps speed and now with WiFi I am getting close to 700Mbps down and 27 up. Before the best I could get was 150MBPS. Wired devices over 1Gbps. So I am super impressed and love the easy setup with the app, the security and monitoring on my LAN is fantastic. Netgear really thought about the entire process.

After a quick set up, I was getting over 700 Mbps on my laptop and other devices. I pay for 600Mbps, so I didn't expect it would stay above that, but after 5 days the speed has remained consistent. The previous setup with the RBK50, I would get between 200 and 400Mbps, it was very inconsistent and never reached the "Up to 600Mbps" speed. Very happy with the Orbi RBK852.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Performance and Coverage I have a large, multi-story home and a family that loves to stream, game, and generally consume bandwidth. I recently upgraded to Gigabyte+ internet service. Despite having 3 Google Wifi units I struggled with coverage and poor speeds. So I decided to see if a Wifi 6 Mesh System really afforded a dramatic improvement in performance - both benefits were essential to me - better coverage and better speed. Setup took minutes using the downloadable app and the results have been astounding. Two units deliver a dramatic improvement in speeds across our 30+ connected devices (and yes, I appreciate that only a handful of those devices really require those speeds for me to realize a tangible benefit). And the coverage provided by the router and satellite is far superior to what my previous system offered. So beyond all of the future proofing and anticipated Wifi 6 devices that will be forthcoming, the Orbi Wifi 6 System has immediate and substantial benefit for this family today. Look forward to continued planned enhancements including parental controls and enhanced security features forthcoming via firmware and app updates.

Range reduces as bear as the second wall between satellite and point of service. I will need one more wired satellite to cover my hime

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Revolutionary Whole-Home WiFi I have been struggling with WiFi coverage issues in our very device-dense home for as long as I can remember. We recently upgraded to an Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi 6 System with just one satellite and ever since our connection on all 50 devices has been flawless. Truly this has changed my day-to-day routine of handling WiFi complaints from family members and has saved me so much time since we purchased it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works perfectly We had very poor WiFi in our home, with only 2 rooms that had service. The Orbi network mesh extended our network throughout our 5000 square foot home. We can stream on 4 TVs now without delay. We are extremely happy and would definitely recommend this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works I have had so much trouble with WiFi. I did not really know much about the technical part about it until I was forced to because my service with att was crap. Then changed to spectrum. Learn the big difference between dsl and broadband. Then I wanted to take advantage of the speed and my computer tech friend guided me. First tried the cheaper version of mesh. I had no idea what that was. Did not work. Then she said try Orbi and hoped that it would work and it did!! Only 2 towers as opposed to 4 and so much faster and longer distance.Very happy! Only thing is that you have to pay for internet protection as most are free. BUT I pay for Bitdefender and I think it is included with the Armor protection. Ok. Then it is worth it. Happy this struggle is OVER!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi for 5,000 square foot rambler We were having weekly issues with our Google Nest, which was only a year old. We work from home and needed a reliable router that covered the main floor and basement of a 5,000 square foot rambler. Orbi Whole Home is awesome. Download speed directly to router is 750. Wireless download speed is 386. Game changer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable strong internet Before getting the Orbi mesh network I was having connection issues from an ISP that was providing gigabit speed. Video feeds would cut off and buffer or internet connections would switch between celular and Wifi. Ever since I installed the Orbi wifi 6 mesh 3 satellite network there has been no issue. I am even getting faster download and upload speed compared to the previous ISP provided wifi router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great wifi I recently purchased the Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system for our new home here in Germany. I was concerned about home coverage across the 5 floors of our town home and to replace the problematic Wi-Fi extenders in our old home. After reading reviews, I decided on the ORbi as the best solution for our home with an eye on long term capacity into the future. Despite some initial hiccups with setup, mostly because i didn’t read carefully, we got the system configured and it works like a champ. No issues with coverage on the top and bottom floors without a satellites. And solid connection throughout the house and into the backyard. I’m very pleased after a week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi Wifi6 mesh It works very well and as advertised. I live in a 5100 sq ft house. Due to the way my house is set up, I needed to place the main router in the middle of the house. This forced me to place the one satellite at front of the house. The very back of the house does not get full coverage likely due to the distance and many walls it needs to pass through. It still gives me decent coverage but I have gone ahead and ordered a second satellite for the rear. Overall great product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid so far! Bought this to replace a traditional dual band router from a different manufacture that was beginning to fail. This is my first mesh network solution. Setup was easy. I have a 2 story house, approx. 2800 sq ft with about 1000 additional sq ft of finished basement. Setup was easy. The base unit is at one end of the house and the satellite is in the upstairs hallway toward the other side of the house. Wi-Fi coverage is much improved over the old stand alone unit. I no longer have any dead zones anywhere in the house. The Wi-Fi network speed inside the mesh network in the house is roughly double what I was getting previously. Speed test thru the cable modem and ping are similar to what I was getting before. Have had the units for approximately 2 weeks, no reboots or glitches yet. All good so far. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Yes, the price may be a little more than so people are comfortable with but you are getting a top of the line device if you have gigabit Wifi. No dropouts, great coverage, lightning speed, and great customer service. You can buy something cheaper and be disappointed when it becomes a paperweight or you can buy this high-end system that works. Best tri-band router out there, 6 out 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievable upgrade to Eero I have been a long time Eero user. I have an older but larger home and I needed 4 Eero pros and 2 plug in satellites to cover my home. With 500/20 cable internet, the best I could do on WiFi even right by the base station was 200/18. The further I went, which was likely in my home, my speeds would cut down to 55mbps down. And, I would have constant handoff issues with the eeros. I have now had the AX6000 set for six months and it is by far the best wiifi router I've ever had. It covers my entire home with just the base station and the satellite. And even at the furthest location I still get 150mbps down, and that's through 6-7 walls and countless wifi devices. This is pricey, but easily the best purchase I have made for my home's internet connection.

No hooked up we have double our speeds about 850-950 megabytes compared to 400’s and we have at least 35 devices on line and stream 6 televisions with no issues Cons- we have dropped WiFi a couple times in the first 2 days seems to stop at this point.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent We bought the ORBI Mesh system to use in our shop and our home. Our shop is about 100 feet from our home. The cable installer didn’t think the signal would stream from our home to the Shop. But we put the satellite unit in the window of our home closest to the shop. The main system is in the back bedroom, and via the satellite and it streams perfectly all the way to the back of the shop. We do a lot of gaming on several devices at once and it works seamlessly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Mesh network from a mesh power user I’ve been using a mesh system for years now. My most recent system was a netgear nighthawk 10 with 3 extenders around my home. I have a 4200sq house. My nighthawk constantly lost connection and I had to reboot the router at least once a week. I have 1G AT&T Fiber to my home. Unfortunately my nighthawk system kept me from truly experiencing what I was paying for. I have around 56 total devices connected to my router and extenders. Nothing worked as it should and I never exceeded 2-3 streams at a time, which was still sluggish. Now to the ORBI AX6000- holy smokes! Night and day better than my nighthawk system. I have the router and 1 satellite. The AT&T modem WiFi is disabled so there’s no interference in transmission. Which I had already done with my previous system. The ORBI hands down is worth the money. I have full coverage all over my home without an issue. My service on the patio outside is still full connection and speeds are constant anywhere in connected. I’ve struggled with my old system the last year and a half, so finally I gave up and decided to try the ORBI. Being that I have so many smart devices, I went with the AX6000 as it states it can handle 100 devices without issue. I’m not sure if 100 is true or not, but 56 devices connected is a walk in the park for the ORBI. I’m an average joe with only a slight bit of experience in setting up networks. No I.T.on my resume, so not interested in setting up a network with overkill customization. Out of the box this thing is ready to keep you connected. If you plan on using any review as a guide to buy or not, let this one be it. I’m a real person, not paid to write this, and someone that couldn’t wait to find the solution to connection issues and handling a large load of devices. I’m incredibly impressed and satisfied with this purchase, just wish it cost a little less. Regardless, worth it to me for the removal of internet frustration in my life. Buy it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WiFi 6 is here! As you would expect from Netgear/Orbi, they lead the way in WiFi 6 hardware and the experience is as smooth as you would want and expect from the mesh network leader. I have ATT fiber and now reach full 1000mbps on WIFI with my iPhone 11 Pro. I also have 30 devices on the network being a modern home and have noticed much improved service with everything running simultaneously and zero issues running concurrent streams to multiple TVs and handhelds. Being this is the first WiFi 6 mesh, I can only imagine it getting better as previous ORBI products did. If you want WiFi 6 now, this is your next purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mesh system I was looking for a broader system that would provide coverage for both upstairs and downstairs without it constantly dropping one device off while using another device. With almost twenty wireless devices from plugs, tv’s, laptops and Alexa devices, I purchased the Netgear Orbi system. I have a history with Netgear and have found their customer service to be one of the best to work with. I did have Best Buy come and handle the installation but the technician had no issues. My WiFi speed increased eight times faster with the Orbi system compared to the old router. I have been connected now for a week and no drops, lighten fast downloads, and immediate connects on devices. I would recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great so far! After 2 days and ~2 hours on the phone with tech support, I finally got my system working. We determined that the Spectrum modem I had was limiting the Orbi to 100Mbs. I got a new modem and it did the same thing. I was going to take the system back when I decided to try a different order of connecting the router to the modem. I had everything hooked up then I unplugged the modem and waited several minutes before reconnecting the power. When I used that sequence, the modem recognized the Orbi and gave it the full 2500Mbs connection. All was good! Good signal and excellent internet speed throughout the house. Unless something happens, I am very satisfied with this system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Product I have to be honest setting the unit up was a real pain in the neck. The first technician I had was absolutely awful. I finally told him that I needed to speak with someone that had more of a personality and a telephone pole. The next technician I had was an absolute gem it only took him about five minutes to get me up and running. The system is performing perfectly. Do you know that little round circle that indicates you’re buffering I haven’t seen it since I’ve installed the Orbi. I have three televisions two laptops three phones and a picture screen operating on the system with no appreciable buffering or problems. Thus far it’s been a great investment. I would recommend this product five stars.

Easy set up and my downloads and uploads are just as fast on wifi as they were using my LAN. I purchased it because of the satellite extender with ethernet capability. So far I absolutely love it. Well done.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing and easy to use We purchased the orbi for our home internet system. It was easy to use and installed quickly and easily with the app. It works amazingly well. We have a 3k square foot house that was built in 1860. The walls are thick and we have struggled with routers and extenders without much luck. The mesh works like a dream and we have high speed WiFi through out the whole house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceeds expectations Recently purchased Orbi with one satellite. I have a vertical three story house where signal reach has always been challenging. There are no dead zones and the the tested speeds are excellent. Even receive a signal in an outbuilding that is 80 feet away.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but not perfect Great speed. Great coverage. Couple issues. 1, no USB port to hook up an external hard drive on the network. 2, because of some issue my nest will disconnect 1-2 times a day from the router for 20 min ( almost exactly 20 min each time) this has nothing to do with location or signal strength as everything else stays connected at that distance and further and when I used my old router (non mesh) it never disconnected. I think it has to do with the dhcp “lease” time, but can’t find the fix. Lastly it is a pain to connect devices that only run on 2.4 ghz. Since there is no way to choose between the wifi bands the only way I could do this was to disable the 5ghz signal so my phone wouldn’t automatically connect to it, then since my phone was on the 2.4ghz signal finally I could use it to set up my smart lights. Then once completed I had to re enable the 5ghz signal. This all had to be done in the router settings using the ip to connect to it because these options were not available using just the orbi app. Overall though, this thing gives the highest speeds I’ve gotten over wifi so it was worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from As fast as promised I’ve been reading and watching (YouTube reviews of different mesh network options for about 12 months. The price of the Orbi system made me think and rethink. Everything I saw ranked it the best. Ultimately, I decided I would order it if it went on sale on Amazon. And then it did. I justified the cost by reminding myself I bought my last mesh network seven years ago. Installation was a bigger pain in the rump than advertised. In retrospect, my old configuration with a switch might have been the problem. I can’t say for sure. I have no interest in resetting and starting over just to test my theory. Bottomline: It works fantastic! Just as promised. And it’s FAST, just as promised. In spite of the few headaches during installation, I’m very happy with my purchase after one week.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great range - difficult installation We live in an historical home with thick plaster walls and stone floors. Getting WiFi to all three floors was difficult at best and frequently dropped using an earlier tech mesh system where I had chained together 6 nodes! Bought the NETGEAR Orbi AX6000 thinking I had to do the same thing - one router and 6 satellites. That’s an investment! Despite the claims for ease of setup, it was anything but easy and ended up calling support. After 30 minutes got a technician online who spent the next hour walking me through. This included wiring the base router to my main computer and changing several router settings. I also found out that this router can only support 3 satellites. Finding that out caused me to worry that I might not be able to cover the whole house and that I’d made a very costly mistake. Fortunately, I was able to put a node downstairs, main floor, and upstairs and the signal carried - booming I might add. So the score is for the coverage but not the implementation. I’ve read that some of the buyers experience fails when new firmware was loaded and have not experienced that yet. Will update if that happens.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not as great as I expected Setting up was okay but you have to use the mobile app. The web version UI is very dated. he worst part is that for a system like this and the price it should have basic ability to control each device that's online and have the ability to schedule. My fault was i assumed this would be a default feature but IT's NOT. You have to pay for this feature & it's using a 3rd party app. My old router and modem/router by default had the ability to schedule. I was very disappointed with this. You can control but its an ALL or NOTHING. I haven't found a way to access the admin page outside of my network without the app. The app is okay but it does take time to launch. For a $700 system i'd expect the basics should be able to access the admin page online and have the ability to schedule internet connection for each device. I called support desk for additional information & it was routed to India & the guy didn't seem they know a whole lot. Speed seems good and ability to connect with the satellite & the whole house works. I like the concept & wish if the issues identified were part of the product, it would've been much more worth it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Rough start - but SOLID now! I am reasonably savvy, but had some problems setting things up. I followed all the app-based instructions, which were well dumbed down, but the system did not respond when cued. However, persistently hitting ‘retry’ MANY times did the trick for me. I will say, that once set up, it has been rock solid. Great speed, ample connections - I have about 70 devices (mostly IOT devices in and around the house - all working as advertised. I expect that updates are going to improve things. Overall, I recommend!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost there... So far I’m liking it, not sure the WiFi 6 standard makes that much of a difference or is worth the cost but in dollars and time. Two be problems; first, no additional satellites are available and there no indication of if or when they will be available. Second, these devices are not backwards compatible and there is absolutely nothing within Orbi marketing that addresses this. I tried purchasing the AC3000 Orbi satellite only to be told they are not backwards compatible. Last but certainly not least I called support which is offshore only to be chastised by the support rep about how I would just have to wait to see if there would be a satellite in the future. I found Orbi support to be useless and when I asked to escalate my case I was flatly told no and that I wasn’t listening, not ok.

Returned and continued to use my Other Vendor setup for quick and easy maintenance with no issues for my smart home products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Unbelievably fast!! I recently had a gigabyte modem installed by Verizon, and was extremely disappointed at the species I was achieving on my devices. After reviewing my network it was apparent that my in wall cabling was inadequate, and my old routers could not support new modem. It was equally frustrating that I had three different names to routers in my home. It seemed obvious that I needed to consolidate everything into a new mesh network. It all came down to Google or Netgear. The Orbi tri-band won out because of it’s projected speeds. I was not disappointed. Up and down load speeds are in the 800 to 900 range. I am still having fun doing speed jacks from all around my house, and now even outside by the pool. I could not have made a better choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A new life began Verizon and Frontier customer I always used their Motorola router. The throughput was always unstable and I had to use repeaters. I used also an Almond router as an AP to control all my peanut plugs. Really it was a mess because I have more than 60 devices connected. So I checked online for a solution I was hesitating between the Asus and Orbi. I made the good choice and now I can enjoy my 500/500 fios fiber connection. I have a satellite and my house (2200 sqf is totally covered. This investment is costly for sure but I don’t regret it. And the installation is a plus with the Orbi App.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Do not recommend U purchase this product because the review were good. But honestly is not performing the way I expected for $700 item. Super expensive and does not give me more than 340 megabytes over wifi. I run the test on the orbit app and it shows is receiving over 700 megabytes download but I only get half of it thru wifi. Waste on money...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Went from Eero to Orbi 6 I was having trouble with my internet cutting out intermittently. I wasn’t sure if it was Comcast or Eero. Due to COVID I was reluctant to get a tech to come out to my house to check the internet and my Eero was aging so I thought, well, if it’s not the Eero at worst I could always return the Orbi. Sorry! But times are tough! I have had REALLY fast WiFi and the Orbi gets my entire gigabit Comcast service I am paying for. My Eero would cap our around 400 most days. Turns out the internet issues were the eero since I have not had the issue in the 3 weeks since I bought the Orbi. Very happy with the upgrade.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Coverage and roaming I am pleased with the Orbi AX6000 as it provides good coverage for my 3,250 Sq.Ft. home which is a 2 story with a basement. The system was easy to setup and get running. iPhones and iPads roam and change devices quickly for best coverage (as they should on a Mesh system). I have ring cameras on the outside of the house so I needed extra coverage and this system is providing it. My Roku TVs and streaming sticks connect to the closest RBR850 or satellite RBS850. The router is connected to a 1 Gig fiber internet connection and getting all of it. The Orbi system replaced an Amplifi HD Mesh system that failed just short of 3 years. Orbi is superior.

Everything connected seamlessly and I get 1 gig throughout my network, including my workshed. Completely setup hardware, network and security in less than 2 hours, if I did not have workshed it would have been about 45 minutes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The only downside is the cost The Orbi WiFi 6 system has been amazing! My previous system started dropping the connection at least daily which was extremely frustrating. With kids doing schools at home, lots of smart home devices and multiple video streams from Netflix, Hulu, Disney , etc, I think it was just too much for the old system. Since setting up the Orbi WiFi 6 system the connection hasn’t dropped even 1 time. We have our max service speeds everywhere in the home. The Orbi WiFi 6 system was easy to set up without any problems or difficulties. Really, the only downside to this system is the cost. $699 is a tough price to pay for a router or even a mesh system with 1 satellite. If the price were more reasonable I’d easily give it 5 stars because the product itself has been excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from good performance but issues with some devices Replaced existing Netgear router and extender, each had 5G and 2G SSIDs, some IOT devices were programmed to use the extender because of range issues and they would only work on 2G. Under the old router and extender this was not an issue because setup for those devices could choose the wireless network they saw, but with new ORBI this was not possible because there is now a single SSID for the router and satellite and apparently the satellite would only present as a 5G signal so the IOT devices that were out of range from the router could not be installed on the new system. It took a long call to technical support to get this resolved.

My house is only a 1400 sqf ranch with a poured concrete basement. Three bedroom. Dosen't reach as far outside as I expected. 40 ft perimeter around the house is reachable, then the signal deminishes fast. Hence the 4 stars ( 3 1/2 ). Not much further than the nighthawk. I wanted to use the orbi to control smart lighting outside. $600.00 for this system is way too much. Maybe I should have spent $200.00 more and got a three pack system. Then again, way too much!

Coverage was spotty in a larger house and even with extenders we'd have drop outs. The newer Orbi wifi 6 system with mesh and satellites has squashed our dead spots and improved the response of our smart home devices. The only reason I didnt give the unit 5 stars was because for the price you should receive all of the features. The system we retired had security features enabled for free for life.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Power House of a Router I just purchased a fairly large house with a total property size of 8500 square feet which im setting up with plenty smart tech gear. I also work from home and need reliable internet access. After some research I decided on the NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System. If your looking for reliable power house net coverage, this is the way to go, no dead spots. I even get coverage across the street at my neighbors property.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great performance and reliability I bought this Orbi System after trying another brand and facing a lot of complications in a big house with thick walls. I was not sure about signal strength, but Orbi proved me wrong. The performance is great! I haven’t faced any issues and install was pretty easy. It’s expensive, but delivers as promised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blazing fast!!! I have fiber internet. On my WiFi 6 devices, I’m pulling 700-950 down in every single room in my house. My PS5 and iPhone 12 Pro Max can download things almost instantaneously. I was even pulling about 200-300 outside my house. Great router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent mesh router Excellent router. Worked well. Only fault, I turned off all users but admin phone to test speed. This caused the entire system to fail, tried factory reset, that didn’t work. Had to spend 3 hours on the phone with support to apparently go about the reset in a different way to make it work again. Works excellent again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Mesh WiFi: Resolved HomeKit issues I have had an OG Orbi for about six years and never had any issues with it. However when we moved it died. (Unplugged it and it never powered back up). I decided to try and get something a little cheaper and went with an ASUS XT8. I had nothing but problems with it. Including all my HomeKit devices constantly showing unresponsive. I bought the new Orbi (like I should have to begin with) and it instantly resolved all the HomeKit issues. It also hands off from one AP to another more smoothly and provides better speeds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A neat solution for a messy problem The Netgear Orbi brought order and solid performance to my internet system. My old “pseudo mesh” system was an Xfinity Modem-router at the farthest end of my 1 story house connected to an Apple Extreme used as an Ethernet switch and access point which itself was wired via Ethernet cable to another Ethernet switch. Old 100 foot Cat 5 cables were threaded up into the attic crawl space and connected to first and second generation Apple Express boxes setup as access points. Excess cable was coiled and left exposed. Best speed was 20-35 Mbps. It was a mess. When I installed the Orbi, all the old Apple access points and cables were removed and replaced with one central router (next to the Xfinity modem) and one Satellitef in the center of the house. Now, I routinely get 300-500 Mbps speeds throughout the house. As an added bonus, I switched the Xfinity modem-router to bridge mode and was able to change my DNS addresses to a more preferable service. I am very happy with the Orbi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW. 10X improvement I upgraded my Xfinity to Gigabit but was only getting about 60 megabit over their wifi router. With the top of the line Orbi added to the mix I get between 500 megabit and 800 megabit even out in my yard. Expensive but awesome 10x improvement!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy install, great performance (speed and coverag I purchased this several days ago from Costo ($200 less than retail!. I was concerned because of Xfinity X1 router,but the setup was easy (although a bit slow to add each satellite). I encountered a brief hiccup when renaming my wifi , but the issue seemingly resolved itself. Speed tests from different areas within the house and in the detached garage were fantastic! I'm actually getting 500+ Mbps on old mobile devices and ~974 Mbps via a switch connected to one of the Orbi's 4 Ethernet ports.

On my previous Orbi I had started to notice internet instability on Zoom calls; once this thing was up, that went away. Is it worth $700? Tough to say with the other cheaper options out there. However I prefer to stick with a proven solution and with all the devices in our home, we need the capabilities of tri-band. Definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable Orbi I purchased the RBK850 system to replace an existing Orbi mesh network and start taking advantage of more speed on my devices that can support WiFi6. So far it has been working well, just like the previous system. And speed is awesome with WiFi6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stability and speed This device is incredibly fast with a strong signal throughout my 100 year house. Three stations on four floors. We have an equivalent setup at the lake house that has been stable a great benefit since we’re three hours away and the WiFi monitors the critical systems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi 850 system I recently upgraded from the 750 system and I can tell I gained overall speed across my wifi that is available. The system seems to handle the traffic better and the signal is stronger too. If your not ready to get the 900 series just yet, the 800 series is more than capable of being a great whole home mesh system!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mostly satisfied I was excited to receive my new equipment, ready to transform my original Oribi set up into the WOW version Wifi 6. What should have been an easy plug and play install, was not. It did require a phone call to Netgear support, but in a few short minutes we were up and running. No I am not a novice, there was an issue that required a work around with manual installation not using the app. Over all, very happy with the new set up, it has maxed out what my ISP provides. Too bad I can’t get a better ISP in my area, that’s another review for another time. Highly recommend, if you have issues with the app, call Netgear and you should be up and going in no time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi Mesh System The Orbi mesh system is a fantastic way to make sure you don’t have any dead spots in your home. This is especially true for larger homes or homes with an irregular design. Our internet speeds and connection do not drop off anywhere in our home. 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Performance Replaced my collection of old Wi-Fi hotspots and installed a new Netgear Mesh network. Increased range and speed. Management of the entire network from one point. No more logging into each hotspot and getting its latest firmware. No more reminding family which hotspot is best for which part of the house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to Install The Orbi was easy to install any follow along with the directions within the app. The reason I didn’t give them 5* was that they should have been ratio install via cat5 cables, but they wouldn’t connect that way and there are no options to install via cat5 to spread the distance further than WiFi connections.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Upgrade! Upgraded from Nighthawk R8500 that was a couple years old. Was experiencing a lot of lag while streaming TV services and dropping connections. Also using a network extender to cover the whole house. I made a huge mistake and changed the Network Name as suggested by the Installation process. Lost connection to everything in the house. I had to manually update all my smart home units. I really liked the fact that I didn't have to manually add each unit to a specific frequency. The Orbi knew where to put each unit that I cut over. Also liked that as each unit registered Orbi scanned for Virus and sent text message that new unit was virus free. I am very happy with the upgrade and would recommend this system to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the price Coming from a 5 year old Linksys Velop mesh system, it was time for an upgrade. Researched long and hard for a middle-to-top tier setup that would be somewhat future proof as well as improve my speeds and coverage. This Orbi system delivered in all areas. Setup was legit simple. Shockingly in fact. The 2 satellites are connected running the Ethernet backhaul and I'm getting the full 1gb download direct from the router (Cox gigablast). Seamless connections to all our devices, using the same SSID and password I had previously. What stands out for me, is the app. Tons of functions that I never could get to work on the Linksys (Immediately pause any device on your network map), and as a power user I appreciate the very advanced options using the web UI directly. Very happy with the purchase. Haven't had a single drop in a week, and our whole house is happily buzzing along with greater speeds and coverage. If you can snag this one on sale, it's absolutely a perfect pickup to refresh your mesh system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Install Install was super easy. I replaced an existing system with multiple IOT devices in about an hour. This included applying a guest network. The stronger coverage met my needs up and downstairs even into the garage. Plus the access control function has everything locked down securely. Very happy so far!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great coverage worth the money Bought these after trying other brands and I haven’t been disappointed. I was unhappy with my ISP’s router so I tried another brand mesh WiFi 6E router. The speeds was good but the coverage wasn’t great. I then tried that brand’s WiFi 7 router. The speeds were great, the coverage was ok but two devices keep dropping from the WiFi. Ever since I got the 850s I haven’t had any problems. Truly worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lake home mesh system We purchased and set up our Orbi WiFi mesh system at our lake cottage and were surprised at how well the WiFi worked across the property. We are able to get strong signal from our dock down on the lake, throughout the house and up to our garage and bonus area above the garage. Excellent system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good coverage, easy set up We have a room over our detached garage that was getting poor wifi strength. I installed the Orbi to increase the speed and coverage. Our Orbi hub and router are in a cabinet in the main house so I put the Orbi hub in the same cabinet. Initially the Orbi satellite in the room over garage was weak. I moved the Orbi hub out of the cabinet and onto a bookshelf thinking less obstructions would help. Immediately the strength in the room over garage got 2x better. It’s a trial and error on where to place your hub and satellites. The app set up was super easy and made the install simple and less than 15 mins.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Poor Product Support I am your average consumer. There is virtually no documentation with this product and the online information is very difficult to find. I could not even find an email address to ask someone a question. Obviously, NetGear doesn't want customers bothering them. The worst customer product support for a nearly $700 item I purchased - the RBK850.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from unstable It is too unstable, every week all devices are disconnected because for some strange reason there is no connection and the Wi-Fi network does not appear, when there is a power outage or the local internet goes down it never reconnects alone, I must turn off and disconnect everything for a time and turn on again. I had an apple air port router about 10 years ago and practically never disconnected. Now buy this new ORBI with AX or wifi6 technology and while it works it connects well and the connection is fast but something always happens and when I get home I see that the lights are blinking as there was no connection between the router and the satellite, I think it is a software update problem or something like that, I have many smart devices (25aprox) at home connected via Wi-Fi and many others connected via ethernet cable. Hopefully you can help me solve those problems ...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great system for Fios Gigabit This system has dramatically increased the speed to wifi devices in our home. Particularly during COVID-19 when multiple family members are having to stream video at the same time, this system allows us to do that really well. I would highly recommend.
