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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Couldn’t be happier I recently purchased this wifi system for my house and am mad at myself for not doing this sooner. We run a lot of devices wirelessly at the same time and were having connectivity issues for too long. Since making the switch to the mesh wifi system, we haven’t had a single issue. The multiple satellites have given us a strong connection throughout our household. This was a game changer and so easy to install myself. Highly recommend this product to anyone!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ultimate performance This system lives up to the hype. Setting up the system was difficult and I believe it was because I followed instructions to replace router but plugged in 2 devices to ethernet ports on new Orbi router before starting app setup. Finally unplugged all devices and reset Orbi and finally got it up and running. OMG it is amazing. Great coverage everywhere... in house, near pool, farthest part of yard and still solid connection. Highly reccomend.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Whole Home Awesomeness Needed something better than my piece meal router with multiple repeaters and or access points. This mesh system is the real deal. I bought the Orbi AX6000 (RBR850) with two satellites, and an extra RBR750 satellite for exterior workshed. 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. I also highly recommend the Netgear Armor protection, it protects all of your devices on your network from all forms of threats. Highly recommend this system.

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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, So good Had a little trouble setting up. Got thru it though. Better speed and better overall coverage inside my house over my older r7000 nighthawk. 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best boost of wifi signal Am in an area where my service provider offers 1 gig speed, but their wifi router only provided 20mbps is some rooms of my 3,500sq ft house. They told me walls, windows and other things reduce speeds and I would have to deal with it. So I got an Orbi and now I get gig speeds in every room of the house! Fantastic product that was super easy to set up and it just works great!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great upgrade from older Wifi 5 system I upgraded to the WIFI 6 model with Meshing from the older Asus GT-5300 wifi 5 system. 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. Netgear wants to upcharge you on a subscription service for advance protection and family filters.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not worth the money It has a lot of nice options, unfortunately it does not do the main job of staying connected to the wifi very well. Random packet losses and disconnections from the wifi (it happens to with all devices connected like phone, computer, playstation, TV and internet radio). You'd be in a video call, listening to music or playing a game and the wifi connection would just drop (it doesn't come from the modem or the internet provider, all cables connections never drop). Fun fact, this review is submitted via a direct cable connection, the wifi dropped twice meanwhile...

A mesh system works as advertised I spent weeks trying to get a different mesh system my wife bought to work, going through terrible customer service and shoddy product. I was able to get my hands on my new Orbi and was set up in minutes. The spots in my home where I had connection issues are a thing of the past. Speed and stability are phenomenal. The only complaint I can think of is I wish they had more icons to choose from for smart homes as you label your devices. Think about it. If my only complaint is about icons in labeling, the rest of product is working great

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It works - but it's not "all that" for the price I bought this system several months back. It works ok - but I expected more given the MASSIVE price. If I were you - I'd keep shopping or get a less expensive model. SKIP the Bit Defender security add on - it's TERRIBLE! It was flagging tons of webpages as security risks to the point where I eventually had to go in an disable that "feature" so I could actually get stuff done. I had Norton previously and will likely be going back to that package as Bit Defender stinks. It's so intrusive and there's not really any easy way to tell it to "quit blocking everything".

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.

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 good performance and reliable was 25000 download and with Orbi now at 196,000 with zero dropped or slowed connections. This without fiber to home! house is 5000 square feet and we use one satellite. highly recommend if you check performance level you need compared to price/model Orbi you install.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Instantly worth the price! Years of frustration gone in a flash. I nearly invested $800 in a previous system and kept adding mesh devices that rarely worked. Now my speeds blast faster than what I’m told I should be getting. Trust me the time you save constantly trying to turn a chicken poop system into chicken salad is worth the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Improved all device connections I originally purchased this system to get a faster WiFi speed in my home. However we have been amazed at how many of our devices just work so much better and we no longer have FaceTime pixelation, or Nest devices that have to reload every few seconds. We didn’t realize how badly we needed this system!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quick and easy setup This mesh router/satellite was very easy to set up. Once it was turned on I noticed an improvement in wifi range and signal strength. 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 Awesome.flawless connection.extremely fast Easy to set up. With great coverage. I have lived in this house for 8 years and I have been fighting dead spots. Even had our IT tech out for advice. But no good answers from him. So, I decided to get what you pay for and this was the rite decision. No more dead spots and I still on my WIFi a 100 yards away typing this. Awesome system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi 6 is the the Eero Killer I’ve been a big support of the Eero System since it’s release. However, I’ve been having issues over the last year. Last week a purchased a 2-pack Orbi 6 system. To my surprise, the single Orbi 6 has provided more coverage in my 3-level, 1400sq ft home, than the 3 Eeros. I haven’t had a need to setup my 2nd satellite. I am truly impressed with the connection and speeds I’ve experienced with my Orbi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from lack of key features I paid premium price for Orbi wifi 6 but got more problems. i.e. no parental control ,cannot add on my Orbi RBK50 satellite to cover wider range. This is definitely the downside to decide whether I should return it.

I recommend this upgrade to everyone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good features, great idea, minor weak point I have an office in an adjacent but separate building from my house and the Orbi router/satellite combination fixes virtually all of my troubles (yes, I declined the cable company's offer to give me two modems at DOUBLE the price. My only issue is that the Orbi router doesn't always get the device name and type correct. No problem, just manually fix in in either the web interface to the router, or in the app on your phone, right? WRONG! The update can be made either way, but it won't stay that way. I opened a support case with Netgear, various reps walked me through stuff with the senior rep saying he'd never seen this before. Eventually Netgear replaced the router, but the replacement did the same thing! As an example, the attached screen clip shows how Orbi thinks a Ring Video Doorbell (a quite common and modern device) is a "network generic" device rather than a doorbell (which IS one of the choices when you try to change it). I finally gave up and accepted reality. Having worked in IT for over 15 years, I can completely understand how INITIALLY the Orbi router might read a device wrong, but once you tell the router that the device is a doorbell, how on earth does it not stay that way? Hopefully a future firmware upgrade will resolve this issue though it's hard to believe it hasn't come up in testing (or customer feedback) yet. Otherwise, I love this mesh system!

Forces you to use the app, can not go direct using browser, took about 18 hours with help of support to "sort of make it work", slower than Pro version and not friendly or worth the grief. Pro version sets up in less than 5 min using the browser. If others think it is great, they have not used the Pro version. I have deployed pro to many houses (WFH). The other thing, this unit wants you to sign up for a subscription. Do your self a favor, really compare this to the Pro, you will be happy you did. The Pro version is fantastic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Good but Some Hiccups I bought the Netgear Orbi once it went on discount which I’d highly recommend. I went with the Wi-Fi 6 vs the 6E and the speeds have held up very well. Outside of not being future proofed, this seems to be the sweet spot. I did have issue with the software as I was installing and found that the only fix was to factory reset. This was the biggest downside, however after I rebooted it and made sure the ssid was the same everything reconnected without any issue. If it wasn’t for this the entire process would’ve been pretty painless. As Far as speeds I have a decent size house, and got 2 satellites but it feels like overkill. Everything is being able to be reached with 2. The back channel connection really shines and I have zero loss of speed throughout the house.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stellar I expected great performance, but got even greater! A balanced placement of the satellites helps. I have RBK853. The only contact I needed with Netgear was for manually downloading and upgrading the firmware. First, upgrade the satellites with a computer browser using the DHCP assigned IP address. Then, upgrade the router.

I have been waiting along time to finally upgrade. After much research, I found the orbi wifi 6 mesh routing system. All my families prayers were answered. No more dead areas or buffering in this house. The Orbi is so easy to setup and manage with the app. This is a true streaming lovers dream. Thank you Orbi and your beautiful satellites.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Terrible Quality and Customer Service The network jacks on the back of these Orbi units are made out with cheap brittle plastic and the gold tines are poorly supported. If your network cable hangs down out of one of these jacks it will fail over time. My WAN port failed in less than one year and no support from Netgear on an $1100 purchase. Netgear wants you to purchase a limited time warranty but even then the customer service is terrible. I have routers from 1996 that still have all network ports working even after multiple connections. Buyer be ware.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Coverage above and beyond expectations I purchased my system with hopes to cover my home, barns and workshop all with wifi from one system. We recently were able to switch to high speed internet. The set up of the system was extremely easy, my only question was around how far away I could place the satellites from the router, after research I found the satellites will blink a different color when out of range from the router. As I mentioned I am trying to cover a 3500sqft home, two barns and a workshop, one barn is over 100 feet away from the house as is the workshop. I found the ORBI app very helpful when setting up the satellites, especially the Network Map page. This page shows a diagram of how the satellites are connected, either both to the router or one extended from the other satellite. My first setup showed both satellites connected to the router, the coverage in the house was excellent as was the coverage in my closet barn. The coverage in the workshop and second barn was weak.. I managed to rearrange my satellites to have one satellite hooked up the the router and the second satellite was extended from the first satellite, this provided me excellent coverage everywhere. The router also comes with security software you can try for free, the software found a piece of malware on my wife’s computer which I was able to remove. Also my connection speed is faster than the plan I subscribed to.. all in all I am very happy with my purchase and recommend this system to anyone trying to coverage a large area with wifi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great router, Easy setup Love the coverage, speed and easy setup. I had originally purchased two Amplifi Alien routers for my home. Looked great but no setup instructions and setup on the mesh router was not working. I am not technically savvy, and just need something easy to set up that gives great coverage…found that in the Orbi. Step by step installation instructions worked great and my coverage is excellent and so is my speed. So hard to decipher all the reviews on line with the pros and cons but I would highly recommend this system to anyone who needs a great system and easy setup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive My fibre point terminates in a kitchen cupboard! As you can imagine getting wifi signal throughout the apartment has proved difficult. I’ve tried powerline adapters, wifi extenders and even mesh networks with limited success in getting wifi to the end room. I wasn’t sure if Orbi Triband Wifi 6 would perform but wow.... just the base router and one extender was enough for the whole place with excellent signal strength and speed throughout. As more wifi 6 devices become available in the future, I only imagine my internal speeds will also improve. Although I lost some functionality from my previous router I was happy to find the web interface had a lot more functions that I could adjust that were not available on the app. It was easy to setup, its fast and powerful. Finally my network is a lot more stable with no drop offs anymore! Thank you!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Orbi mesh WiFi network review. This has been the absolute best experience with a mesh WiFi router by far. The packaging of the devices was nicely laid out, the setup was incredibly easy to navigate and complete. The WiFi coverage for the mesh system has been a solid performer. Putting it to the test: I’m streaming 4K videos from multiple sources, three Xbox gaming systems at the same time and a PlayStation streaming a game, two gaming PCs and 15 smart home devices. I have not received any drops in performance or connectivity. The verdict: I had many products in the past and all I pushed and reached their limitations. The whole home mesh system has been my favorite so far, I have recommended this product to my coworkers and they all agreed, Netgear has out done themselves. Thank you to Netgear for providing top quality products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great but missing some features. Setup is easy and the router is fast and reliable. The Firmware/Software is missing some important features. Every Netgear router I have used prior to the Orbi had powerful QOS features, they are missing on the Orbi. The missing QOS is unfortunate and disappointing for a router at this price point. Also, missing are the more data rich network monitoring features. Although basic monitoring is available, like the QOS, it is too basic for a router at this price point. Hopefully, these will be added with future firmware updates. This would be a 5-star router with the missing features added.

Setup was so simple via the orbi app. Literally took 5 minutes and the amount of range and speed surpassed my internet provider’s router and 2 extenders. It handles all 20 of my devices with ease.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Need for Speed! Netgear Orbi Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 satisfies. My Google WiFi system only brought in 70% of my gigabit broadband, with WiFi speeds of 300-400 Mbps. Now I get over 90% of my gigabit speed, with WiFi speeds over 700 Mbps. Feels like I’m driving my Porsche! 4 stars only because of the price. Worth it to me, however (I download large medical image files for work).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Flexible and Powerful The coverage in this mesh network is great, and I love that each satellite has four ports for hard-line connections. The forward-thinking inclusion of a 2.5 GB WAN port will give this system a lasting value in our home. The Orbi app makes setup easy, but for those more tech savvy folx, the browser interface makes more advanced options available.The built-in speed test and traffic meter add functionality I previously needed multiple apps to track. I even integrated my older Apple network hardware to keep Airplay capacity. I believe this system will stay with us through many device upgrades for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smokes the Competition I was loyal to another brand for well over 20 years. I tried their mesh system and it kept dropping offline. I spent over 10 hours a week on the phone with their tech support trying to get a warranty replacement and they refused. I bought this Orbi system to replace it and set it up the exact same way with nodes in the exact same places. It has NEVER dropped off line and I’m getting even faster speeds. I should’ve switched to NetGear a long time ago! The app is easy to manage my system. Speeds are impressive. It just plain works and it smokes the system I replaced from a competitor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy setup, fastest Wi-Fi I bought the 3 pack with a 10% off coupon. I’d been fidgeting with Wi-Fi and previously running 3 airport extremes via a wired Ethernet backhaul on bridge mode (like an old mesh network). I was skeptical this would do much better but it has. The ping rates are less than 15 now, everything is blazing fast and the coverage is so much better. Now I don’t have the random device not working. 4K never glitches. The app is pretty darn simple. It’s a great setup and forget about it type of thing. Speeds are consistently 7-800mbs about 5-10 feet away with a Wi-Fi 6 device. 4-500 about 15-20 feet away. And 200 about 40 feet away from any given node. I still use a wired backhaul.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Routers security is now a subscription model??? Basically a mixed bag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi review I currently use Verizon wireless as my Internet provider. I needed an extender and I found a Orbi’s should be the right product. I’ve had Orbi’s now for about a year and I noticed that my Internet has improved. The reason why I did not give Orbi a five out of five is because I’ve noticed a lot of downtime with the Orby’s always recycling. I did have to call tech-support to figure out why this is happening and they were able to fix one of the issues. I still notice the issue but it’s not as bad as it was before. All in all I give Orbi’s a 4 to 5 I still think it’s a good product and my Internet is better than it was before. Thanks

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast Everywhere!! Switched from AirPort Extreme as it was reaching it’s end of life. Starting Day 1 I realized I was not using full potential of my gigabit connection. I have tried replacing Airport quite few times in the past with various top rated routers but ended returning them; although being brand new they couldn’t match up to my aging router. However AX6000 was a game changer. It not only pushed my WiFi coverage to longer range but also blazing speed everywhere and not just around the router. I have lot of devices that cannot use 5 GHz and they suffered in the past due to port network but with the additional satellites and smart allocation of applicable bandwidth everything works pretty smooth. Highly recommend if you looking for a complete home WiFi network and have lot of smart devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very Awesome, has some room to grow The benefits of AX WiFi are pretty clear right away, it’s very impressive. I’ve got a Ring Camera outside that has to be about 60 feet from the main Orbi Node, with MANY walls and a garage door in between, and it works perfectly with quick response to Live View. I went from 3 Velop Nodes to the new AX Orbi, with two Nodes, and the Two Orbis cover the same ground (4800 SQ Feet, three floors). The Active Roaming definitely works great too, that was a feature I’m glad to see work legitimately. The only bad is lack of customization. The app is very limited, anyone who really wants to mess with stuff has to use the browser version. I wish you could manually assign devices to a specific Orbi Node, I really want to see QoS, and it would be really cool to see the backhaul strength in the app. Overall though I’m very happy with the system. I upgraded from a Surfboard 3.0 with Gen 1 Velop (3 Pack) to the Netgear CM1000 Modem with AX Orbi (2 Pack). I noticed better Ping, slightly better Upload speeds (with Spectrum), but was really surprised to see higher Decibel Strength (signal strength) further away and even through walls vs anything I had before. 30 Feet Away and through 1 Wall Orbi has about -40 for me, where Velop in the same circumstance had around -60. Both are “good,” but -40 is much stronger. Very cool system!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Setup and features are a bit awkward. It took 2 calls into tech support to get my Orbi up and working properly. Now that it’s up and running it works great. However, most smart TV’s and legacy devices don’t like 5GHz bandwidth, they like 2.4GHz. Some legacy products acquired the 2.4GHz signal but others acquired the 5GHz. Netgears solution for you is to move the satellite or router further from the device so that it acquires the 2.4GHz signal. The orbi is great looking device, but do I really want to see it out like a piece of furniture. Not really. It would be so much easier if you bring back the ability to split and name the dual channels like in early versions of the Orbi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi AX6000 Works Great Works great and purchased from best buy due to immediate availability instead of buying from Netgear directly. Other reviews about upload speeds are spot on. Via wifi download speed is fast. I have a 500 plan so I get close to that however on upload I rarely see anything above 60 mb. Now if I hardline, is a whole different story, as I get full speed as from my ISP provider and sometimes even around 630-650 up/down. The app was a breeze to use. I would highly recommend however, that you set up the router and the satellites in the same room , next to each other first, to make the set up quick and painless (it will find the satellites quick, after that feel free to find the best zones in your house and set up satellite to best provide coverage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product with one shortage This router is great overall. Fast speed all over the entire house. However, the item lacks the way to separate 2.4 channel for older devices, which make it not great for clients with older devices. Hope this is just a firmware and Netgear will listen to their clients and release a new firmware that will separate the three band/channels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works like a charm! Wanting to replace my previous Wifi router by a mesh system, I first went with an ASUS Zenwifi AX setup, due to lower price. However, that system gave me lots of trouble with unstable device connections (despite great signal strength. I sent back The ASUS Zenwifi AX frustrated and took the plunge on the NETGEAR Orbi. System is running stable and rock solid, with all devices keeping their connection, including the Garage Door opener which gave me nothing but trouble on the ASUS router.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great upgrade from my Orbi RBK50 Works as well as my previous Orbi WiFi but with more speed and better WiFi capabilities. I also have a couple of devices that use the Ethernet ports which work great as well. It is especially nice being able to connect devices via an Ethernet port on the satellite. The main reasons I upgraded from my previous Orbi system was because I have some newer devices that can take advantage of the newer WiFi technologies this model provides and I was beginning to feel unsure about how up to date the security would remain for my older system (it did receive a recent firmware update so it does not seem forgotten). I did not like that I had to setup my system with an app instead of just plugging a device into a port and configuring via a web interface. After using the app for setup I was able to then use the web app for configuration like my previous system. Also I had to disable the Armor ability. It was causing a couple of my devices to drop connections. After disabling Armor everything worked great. I would recommend this system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Is it worth of money? I work from home several days a week and I stream a lot. I was having performance issues. So I purchased the orbi mesh system. To my surprise I really love this product. Very easy to setup. I was concerned because I have zero networking skills, however, it was simple and quick to setup. Also since the install no dead spots. Increased performance. I reset my router and I loved that the satellite kicked in and none of my devices lost connectivity. Having this mesh system encouraged me to put other devices on the network that I had not previously done because I no it can handle it. Capable of having up to 100 clients on the network. Definitely worth the money. Yes I recommend this mesh system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Working very well, so far... I bought these to replace my Netgear Orbi RBS20 I've used for five years. I like to buy new tech, since I'm more certain of what I'm getting. However, the Orbi router line has gotten SO pricey, I figured I'd give these 'renewed' products a try. They arrived in like-new condition, and since I'm experienced in setting up and maintaining an Orbi router, these were very easy to get online. I've noticed much quicker responses in some instances, which is why I bought them, and overall they are a speed improvement on the RBS20. I have gig service, and these have peaked at 940ish Mbps up/down in speed tests. I'm hoping for a little more performance, so I'll keep running the tests and tweaking settings.

My coverage was good, as I have a 2600 sq ft home, but it just didn’t allow the right throughput. Now I only have these two Orbi’s and it is way faster than the 3 Velop nodes. I was barley getting ~150Mbps down on a good day, now I am getting actuals of 650~800 down amd up depending on where I am in the home. Outside of the house I can get between 250~500Mbps down/up. So overall its a drastic improvement over what I had before and even with just 2 nodes. Love it.

Tried a couple of top competitors and they were a no go for my house with many rooms and 3600 sq ft. Ended up back with the Orbi. The 853 connected and picked up all my devices with no issues, wall to wall coverage and getting minimum 60% of my speed plan wifi anywhere in the house, plus outside perimeter. More money, yes but it gets the job done. As many comments point out, one thing is they should include is parental connection controls standard rather than an extra cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally getting my expected internet speeds It has taken me a long time to invest in Wi-Fi 6 as I have been using the FIOS router for 2 years. What a world of difference. My device internet speed would vary so greatly that in some spots in the house it was impossible to connect to services like zoom. Now I have internet excellent speeds throughout the house. Best investment yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Product is OK, Support is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE I have had an RBK852 for a little under a year and the wifi started acting up. Working through support is a nightmare. It took almost a month to get them to finally agree to send a replacement (only the router not the satellite which is the issue) and the replacement was defective!!! I have spent over 20 hours dealing with this and have been on a call today for almost 3 hours with no help and most of that has been on hold. DO NOT BUY AN ORBI IF YOU WANT SUPPORT.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great router, app needs work I recently ordered a new Orbi. I went to set it up, and the app wouldn’t configure the settings properly even after trying multiple times. I ended up using the web portal, which fixed it, but left the original network that came with the router visible. I had to reboot everything twice for that network name to go away, and then finally everything was working. The app works okay now, but it’s still pretty slow and takes multiple tries to get something to go through. Other than that, the Orbi is a great and fast router that takes advantage of your internet speeds to give you a fast experience online.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Mesh System I was looking to upgrade from my Google WiFi mesh system to something that supported WiFi 6 which provided both excellent coverage and fast speeds. Since I have >1Gbps speed from my ISP, I wanted to leverage WiFi on more devices since the wireless connection would then be faster than the gigabit Ethernet ports on many wired devices. I found that this model hit the mark. I’ve almost doubled devices running in the network and I’ve seen faster throughout and no network congestion. I highly recommend this specific model as it gives you a strong backhaul to handle all of your streaming and gaming devises simultaneously.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solved I recently purchased the Orbi Wifi 6 mesh router and I’m a fan. We had the nighthawk axe1100 and while it was good it still lacked the QOS feature and the total coverage that’s needed for our home. The Orbi router has a easy and quick setup, fast speed via the Wi-Fi 6 standard so that my gigbit service from my ISP can now be used to it’s fullest potential. Coverage is also not an issue to the satellite that can be place anywhere in the home. Netgear’s ARMOURY does work well securing my home network. So overall I would and do recommend this product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Needs Refining I guess I had expected far more for the price than what I actually got. I have a single story house from 1940. The walls are plaster with either lathe or (in spots) plaster over chicken wire. A normal gaming router does a fair job, but between the tvs and smart bulbs, plugs, phones, etc. (there are around 52 items) and the walls, the signal does get muddled. So I figured mesh would be the way to go. I was not happy with the price, but the router seemed like it would be future proofed. Like other reviewers stated, set-up was not a breeze, I had major issues with the app and an iPhone 12pro max. I finally switched to an iPad and was able to connect the router, then the satellites. Of course it then had to update. I was then able to connect all of the smart devices. I thought everything was fine, nope.. devices would lose signal go off line and then come back on. Cameras were lagging. I gave it a couple days to try and settle down. It didn’t.. so I boxed it all up (which by the way the router and satellites are kind of bulky and stand out in any decor and not in a good way. ) and returned. I am not going to bash this product, but is simply didn’t work for me, and certainly not for the expensive price tag.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Upgrade I went from a NightHawk to an Orbi ax4200 and finally the Orbi ax6000 (which can handle 100 devices. Our house has a LOT of smart-home tech. We have a Blink camera system, Nest thermostat, dozens of Alexa devices, dozens of smart lights, some wifi switch outlets, wifi-enabled garage doors, multiple gaming consoles, multiple smart TVs, VOIP phones, all of our household smart phones, smart watches, laptops, and tablets... the number of devices adds up quickly and we got to the point where we were overloading the ax4200 (which can handle 40 devices). It should be more than sufficient for most households, but we just have SO MANY devices. I see there is also an ax11000 that can handle over 200 devices! If we wind up with that many devices, I guess that will be my next upgrade. The Netgear Orbi mesh system is great for integrating my vast-but-growing smart home network. I highly recommend it!

Than I got an eero which was great because it could handle 20 devices and I had it until I moved up to 1 gig speed handled everything but couldn’t hold my speed my step son Xbox was wired in and only pulling 500 mbps and my iPad wireless was pulling 100 to 130 mbps. So I moved up to an Orbi WiFi 6. Step son computer wired in pulling 960 mbps and my iPad pulling over 300 mbps. Finally!! Getting what I pay for. Very expensive WiFi router but right now worth the money and I’m ready for 5G speed......

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Speeds If all your looking for is great coverage and speed this is your router. The app and WebUI are pretty basic so there’s nothing flashy. I pay for 500Mbps download speeds and that’s what I get. That’s all I can ask for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi Changed Everything Like most households without thinking about it we were adding more and more wireless devices. I noticed when ti was taking forever for Plex on my 4 Rokus to load, I was unable to connect to my security cameras, when I VPNed into work the connection was painfully slow. I didd a speed test from my laptop and although I have FIOS GE service I was at just barely 100M up and 100M down. It was a choice, wire the house for Ethernet or go to WiFI 6, WiFi 6 was much cheaper and easier. From the time I unboxed Orbi it took about 15 minutes to be up and running and all my devices operating on Orbi. I ran a speed test from my laptop again, over 600Mb up and 600Mb down. I even tried it sitting on the patio with the same results. Security cameras are live again, we no longer get the spinning wheel of death on the Rokus and when VPNed in I get over 300Mb up and down. Best investment ever.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi - Fast with great coverage Recently purchased the ax6000 orbi system to extend speed and coverage. Set up was easy with the app just don’t have more than one device trying to use it during setup. System has delivered highest speeds we have seen from our gigabit isp. Coverage extends through whole house and reaches to external garage. Have moved over to streaming tv services and getting more out of our 4K tv’s. Definitely recommend this system for people looking to upgrade.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Whole property goodness. I bought this to hook up in my new house I recently purchased. My goal was to update the house to a smart house so needed WiFi that could handle all the devices. In addition, it’s an acre lot with a barn/shed and a dock on the lake so I wanted a satellite in both of those locations to cover the whole property in wifi. I am fortunate enough to have gigabit internet and this system blanket ma the whole property with great speeds and connections. We have poor cell signal and the WiFi calling work great. Definitely recommend if you have the money for this kind of investment. Hopefully this stays operating strong and I’m set for the foreseeable future and won’t need to upgrade the system. The connection process is a breeze using the app, but it did take a while to discover the modem had internet. Other than that if you’ve read this far you are seriously interested and should pull the trigger.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WiFi life changing This product is game changer. I’m newly working from home and I was finding my WiFi connection would slow down and even disconnect. I was also having low service levels in select areas of the house. After installing the Orbi mesh system and setting up just over 30 WiFi devices (5 tv’s, switches,plugs,Alexa,etc) my internet connection frustration fell from 100 to zero. I have never had this feeling of freedom knowing that anywhere within my home I’m connected to WiFi. My download speeds went from low 40’s back up to near 500, which is what I pay for with my internet provider. Awesome product ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

I only bought the two mesh WiFi 6 router install the satellite almost to the end of the other side 2500 feet .... the speed was amazing .. the only thing the router is lack features like the eero.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Not ready for prime time NG Orbi 6, AX series products are not quite ready for prime time as there are two glaring problems compared to other products. I just purchased this at B.Buy and I’m very dissatisfied and will be looking to return it. Key reasons this system fails to perform; 1) Quality of Service is totally lacking. Netgear considers the new AX series to provide “auto sensing QOS“ as it automatically prioritizes high bandwidth traffic. For example when someone starts streaming Netflix or Online gaming, the Orbi prioritizes that devices traffic, but it does so at the expense of all other devices. So say you’re working from home on a video call and your child fires up the Xbox....well you can expect that your work call is over. Netgear needs to build into these devices a more sophisticated and user adjustable QOS process allowing users to give select devices priority over others. Short sited of NG to not realize that anyone investing in a sophisticated mesh system is trying to improve bandwidth for multiple simultaneous users. 2) Family/Children monitoring. Mesh systems at the entry level and even lower level Orbi products allow you to put a “virtual fence” around the various devices your children use and allow the parent/admin to set a schedule for when those devices can be online and when they cannot. The AX series Orbi 6 RBR850 that I purchased does not have this functionality. The only option is to manually disable/pause each devices connection. 3) Bandwidth consumption, while this unit does allow the user to monitor bandwidth usage, it is only for the aggregate of the whole network and does not monitor traffic device by device. I think it’s critically important to be able to get diagnostics that tell me which devices on my network are consuming the most bandwidth each week/month and this unit does not allow for that. Hoping this helps others.

However, now - a year and a half down the road - they're becoming VERY unreliable and something that I have to reset almost daily. I tried reaching out to Netgear and they're only covered by a 1 year warranty so there's not even a way to contact them. All they want you to do is go buy a new set - which ain't gonna happen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent coverage I purchased the Orbi AS6000 3-pack. I already have a Netgear Nighthawk R8000 but the WiFi coverage was weak with 4200 sq ft of house and outdoor coverage needed as well for cameras and garage coverage for irrigation system and garage door openers. I opted to keep the R8000 as my primary for all of my wired connections and shut off WiFi on it. Connected the Orbi base via Cat6 to my R8000, set my two Orbi remotes about 60 feet away for optimal coverage and used the simple app to complete setup and updates. I now have zero dead zones (including the garage, and am getting anywhere from above 1G WiFi link for close devices (15 ft) to 300Mb for devices well over a 100 ft away outdoors. I went slightly over recommendations going with the 3 node, but better than under engineering it. 3 weeks in and not a single issue for any devices (28 WiFi devices) and my wired connections remain as they were.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AMAZING Coverage I was relying on the stock WiFi my ISP provided. My router is upstairs. Devices not on the same level would experience connection issues. WiFi connected gaming devices would randomly lag making online gaming very frustrating. Now that I’ve installed Orbi, connection issues are gone! Remote gaming and video conferences are lag free. It’s like things are working like they’re supposed to. Good stuff. Highly recommend Netgear Orbi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simplest system I’ve ever set up Very happy with the Orbi system. It was extremely easy to set up. My house has Ethernet cabling so I used wired backhaul which it automatically detected and configured. The range is very good. It comes with a 30 day trial subscription to Netgear Armor security which seems well integrated. They are offering the first year at a pretty good discount so I may give it a try. You manage it all with an app or by browser. It’s not cheap (I got the base with two satellites. I used it to replace an Apple airport system that we’re retired by lightening.

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 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 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 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 ...

How does a $700 router not have Parental Controls - who filled out the 22 reviews to give an app (Smart Parental Control) that doesn't exist 3.7 rating? Been told for 4 months that it's a couple months away. Also the app dashboard states all these vulnerabilities but doesn't give a log or how to fix it. Might be best to go back to TP-Link and use their supplied Tether app so I can use Parental Controls during the summer until Netgear understands that being able to control who using your router is a standard these days.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy and Fast! I have gigabit internet but was constantly experiencing streaming buffering, slow internet surfing, and weak connections with my two AC 1900 mesh routers. Got the Netgear AX6000 router with one satellite mesh and what a difference! I put the new Netgear router and satellite in the same locations in opposite ends of the house as the old AC1900 routers were placed. Setup was extremely fast and easy using the Orbi app. I had plugged an existing ethernet connection into the router and satellite before setup and was pleased to see it automatically chose the wired connection between the two for the backhaul without me having to specify it. Setup was successfully completed in 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to find that using my old SSID and password all of my devices automatically connected to the new network hardware without me having to individually refresh them. Easy Peasy!! Performance is outstanding too! Remote locations of the house used to struggle to get 200Mbps. Now I get over 400 Mbps in those same locations. No more buffering, lightning fast surfing, and strong signal everywhere!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast but clunky setup I’m pleased with the router overall. It’s super fast. The satellite fixed my dead zones. The setup was irritating and required a call to customer service. The representative was great but waited in the queue for at least 30 min. The app/interface isn’t really what I expected for such an expensive router and strong brand. It’s very bare bones and quite disappointing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from AX6000 So far I’m really impressed. My modem sees speeds around 500 mbps. My old Mesh system would significantly reduce the speeds to ~175-200 mbps. Speeds would fluctuate throughout the entire day sometimes dropping to below 100 mbps. Since switching to the AX6000 in every room we are seeing steady speeds of 475-495 mbps. Although the system is strong enough to cover my entire house ~2600 sq ft. We still put a satellite in my wife’s off. There is no drop off even with both of us having to VPN in on two laptops and two phones. I’m very surprised and happy with this significant improvement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game Changer We use a lot of internet in our house. My wife and I both work from home, the kids even have remote learning days at their school once in a while and are on Zoom all day. Plus with all the WiFi connected smart devices in this house, our old router was struggling to keep up. There were dead spots upstairs that were so bad, I would have to take my phone off of WiFi just to load a web page. Our video door bell was so slow that by the time I was able to load the video feed the person at the door was usually gone. The Orbi has fixed all of our WiFi woes and is worth every penny! My wife’s work computer upstairs went from 3 Mbps to around 80 Mbps! Our video doorbell loads the feed almost immediately now. And the kids have stopped complaining about the internet being “down” or slow. I wish I would’ve pulled the trigger on this product much sooner. For our personal internet needs the Orbi is a game changer and I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast I recently purchased this mesh system to upgrade from a Google mesh. My previous system had reliable coverage and signal but throttled speeds around 100 Mbps. I have a fiber connection with regular speeds between 900-980 Mbps, so the service was being wasted. Once I put the new system in, my speeds immediately jumped to 225-500 Mbps around the house. I have done speed tests inside my home and all around our yard and the speed and signal strength remain fast and strong. Our streaming services run smoother, online multiplayer video games play with less or no lag, and the added security of this system makes it a great purchase. This system is fantastic for larger properties that have fiber speeds but may be overkill for slower internet and/or smaller properties. I highly recommend this mesh system, though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Doesn't consider Security a priority!! I wasn't impressed with the speed difference from my old Netgear Nighthawk RAX80. There was about a 5% increase but not worth spending $700.00. As a cyber security professional, security is very important. That being said, Netgear doesn't have a baseline of free security applications/mechanisms incorporated in this device to provide some sort of protection for the consumer/family. They are mirroring Apple, nickel and dime a customer for everything that should be free standard security application within the product. I am sure a third party GUI interface could be replace with the current one but of course this may violate the warranty. Though the product may be pleasing to others but the purchaser should consider forcing Netgear to install basic security applications (Parental Controls,etc) as well as giving you more control to manage their devices. Their products are very expensive and the consumer shouldn't have to purchase a monthly subscription to protect their family. Netgear has given me a talking point at the next cyber security conference. For the lack of free basic security, I've returned the device and begun looking for a much better product that doesn't require a subscription.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Mesh Router So far the router is performing reliably, I’m able to get 200Mpbs across my house on wireless devices and up to 600 Mbps when I’m close to the main router hub. The installation process was easy and painless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great coverage Definitely fills out the dead spots in the house. And the speed is great. We are having some issues with August electronic locks connectivity though. Looking around the internet, it is a common occurrence. So, if you are running one or more August locks, this is something to think about.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth the money I have been looking to buy these ever since they first came out but always felt they were a little expensive. I have fought getting coverage throughout my home and the number of devices on my Wi-Fi for the past three years. Not anymore. I purchased the dual set. I have zero dead spots and we have not experienced any lag or device drops. I even am getting coverage outside to my entire yard. For reference I have 15 to 20 devices on the network every day. Even the 2 Xbox’s and the one Nintendo switch have zero issues. They are typically connected and being used at the same time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fixed my problems I was using the ASUS RT-AX58U and also an older RT-AC68U in “Ai-Mesh” mode and my experience was terrible. My phone would periodically just stop downloading anything despite having a full set of wifi-bars. I decided to drop the AC68U and go solo on the AX58U. It worked better, but I still had to turn my phones wifi off at home in frustration and I had issues getting connection on devices at the other end of my house. I read reviews for the RBK852 and decided to bite the bullet. I have never been happier with a wifi system. Easy setup, full throughput from my Spectrum Gigabit more consistently than I got through the ASUS, and my phone achieves 400~600 mbps anywhere in the house and I still have a stable connection in my backyard and garage (where I have some wifi devices. I rarely give 5 star reviews, but so far, this one has earned it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good mesh to replace old mesh my AX4200 was starting to be unreliable so I was able to find AX6000 that is compatible to replace it. It's too bad not all newer Orbi models are compatible so I can use the older model satellites to connect to the new model. Fortunately, the AX6000 was compatible so I got a reliable mesh router and was able to use the older AX4200 satellites to increase the WIFI coverage in the house. The linking of the AX6000 was quick and smooth, but it took a while and several tries before the router recognized the AX4200 satellite. Now all is well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Three times a charm After using Asus Wifi router for several years, I purchased two new routers to create a mesh of a high speed hub and two nodes. This configuration proved to be very unreliable. Three months ago, I purchased the Google Next WiFi mesh consisting of a router and two access points. While I observed an improvement in reliability, the network still disconnected enough to cause issues with the work from home scenario and online video meetings. After talking with a neighbor who highly recommended the Orbi offerings, I purchased the Orbi 6 System with the router and two satellites. The performance and reliability have been outstanding. I could not be happier. While being expensive, the Orbi gear has been worth every penny since the work from home situation has greatly improved. I highly recommend this system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Grass is really Greener...and FASTER! After being told by Xfinity my equipment was too old (Apple Time Capsule & Motorola 3.0 modem (and surprisingly they didn't even try to sell me on their rented modem/router) due to issues I was having I came here to the Netgear website and chose the Orbi RBK852. All I can say is WOW! I read so many reviews about it and almost every review on the web was raving about the performance. Firstly, the Orbi is a real beauty. Great looks to fit in any decor. Just to be clear, I'm a techie freak so I'm pretty particular about my equipment. I upgraded my Xfinity plan to 1Gig and I also bought the Nighthawk CM2000 modem. Direct connection from Xfinity is 1200Mbps. My iPhone achieves wireless speeds as high 960Mbps when I'm close to the Orbi and 600-750Mbps anywhere else in the house. I have not experienced a single drop in performance or a dropped signal. I have 10+ wireless clients in my home and the Orbi has been 100% reliable. I did however check out the Nighthawk RAX200 since it had a couple of more features over the Orbi but the RAX200 was a buggy experience at best. Speeds fluctuated and were often 200Mbps slower than the Orbi. It bricked 3 times over a weekend setting from reboots leading me to do hard resets. Obviously not good firmware. I returned it. I would recommend the Orbi RBK852 to anyone. It's pricey but I got what I paid for which is reliability and speed. I can see why Netgear pushes the Orbi so much on their website. They put a lot of engineering into this product.

The AX6000 was easy to install and the speed and range was outstanding. My internet service is 500 Mbps and I was getting 520+ Mbps wireless download speeds in the most remote corners of my house where previously I had dead zones. those speeds were with standard wifi devices too as we don't have any WI Fi 6 devices. I have yet to test stability over the course of time but for now my range and speed needs are met. Yes it's pricey but worth it. My only disappointment is that I wish it had a USB port with support for Ready Share printers and USB hard drives.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mostly good with some issues The set up instructions say you can use your previous Wi-Fi name and password so existing devices can connect. The problem is, the instructions don’t tell you where or how to do this. The other issue is that when you connect your satellites, the bandwidth is reduced.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good speed I bought this 2 months ago, since it’s WiFi 6 I thought it should be better but the speed on satellite is always slower than the router even when they are in the same room next to each other and I hardwired connected to satellite, it’s always 150 to 200+ mbps slower than router, I am a little disappointed. I called them many times, they kept telling me they are working on new a firmware for the issue, and I did actually see a new firmware and it was automatically downloaded by the system but didn’t solve the issue

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Routers are now repeatable revenue?? Basically a mixed bag. Setup was simple and easy and performance thus far seems consistent, however they have taken what historically has been basic router security features and now have created a subscription model to actually enable them, which is simply absurd. HUGE downside and I would recommend finding an alternate product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reevaluating My Purchase I just got the WiFi 6 and the main router seems to be working fine although my “sync” button doesn’t have the “feedback” like on my satellite so I never know if I’m actually pressing it until I see the blue light start beating. Pretty sure it’s a manufacture error seeing as how the satellite sync button actually has a minor click when you press it. Besides that I can’t for whatever reason get my Satellite to sync at all no matter how many reboots/restarts every time it just says that 0 satellites found even though when I bring up the network in the app it shows my satellite just wont pair the two to allow me to cover my house. And it’s not a distance issue either as I put the two in the same room just to test it out heck I’ve literally tried syncing it in every room upstairs just to see even though I knew it wasn’t going to work I had to try just to say I did. I like the product and want to keep it but at the same time for how much money I have invested in this product I shouldn’t have gotten a defective satellite nor the minor paint flaws and a faulty sync button the quality of what I got is as if I got a refurbished product. As of right now I wouldn’t recommend this product wait until the company figures it out because as I can see I’m not the only one with issues. Like I said I do like the product and WiFi range but for what I spent and the quality of equipment, all the defects on a brand new out of the box product. I’m highly disappointed in my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Stable Wifi, Easy Setup, Exceptional Performance Got this about 4 months ago, replaced 5+ year old Apple Time Capsule wifi5 system with AirPort Extreme bridge - was ok, but dropped out a lot and was not stable in large home of 4000 sf with large outdoor area and full basement. Apple discontinued their router products and no hope of firmware upgrades, and wifi 6 is WAY better and more advanced than any other previous wifi generations. Orbi setup of 2 units covers entire house including 2 floors (both units on main floor of house), basement and massive outdoor area approx 150 ft radius around house - all at super fast speeds that are stable all the time. I've routinely had 3 separate, simultaneous web streaming video calls and no issues - pay for Xfiniti cable service at 180 down/25up. Getting all of this speed from every device no matter where in the house - and every device is wifi, no hard wires at all except for TC. Very impressed. Expensive, but support and firmware upgrades, app service, Armor options, and ease of setup and monitoring.... are all great! You get what you pay for! And for Apple fans who want to continue using Time Capsule as a backup for Mac's - just turn TC's wifi off, set to bridge-mode, and plug ethernet cable into Orbi LAN port and continue using it for backups - works great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid range and coverage Installed and been using one base and one satellite unit in a 6000sqft and 3 floors wood frame home for a couple of weeks now. Performance has been solid. I would expect nothing less for the premium price I had paid. 4 out of 5 stars due to the aggressive pricing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Leap and Bounds This product is amazing! I’ve been battling bad WiFi speeds for what seems like forever. Orbi blankets my entire home with blistering fast speeds and will cover my home for years to come as I add more devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Wi-Fi Coverage I purchased the RBK852 based on many excellent reviews with the hope that it would resolve my home Wi-Fi issues (thick plaster walls, numerous IoT devices (45+, streaming on multiple 4K TVs). My FIOS GB router couldn't handle these challenges and was randomly rebooting 5-6 times a day; as a person who works from home this was not acceptable. The RBK852 has no issues with the plaster walls, nor the number of IoT devices, TVs, phones, laptops, etc. The ORBI system provides for amazingly fast Wi-Fi throughout my home and even into my detached garage (~500MB/sec on 5GHz and ~175MB/sec on 2.4GHz). I'm truly amazed at ORBI's performance!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost perfect So far my Orbi is close to perfect. We are just having one issue with getting our third satellite to connect to our router. For some reason we can not get the third satellite to go online. I have not really had time to mess with it but I will do so this afternoon because my son is getting his gaming computer this evening and he needs it to be hard wired. I specifically purchased the three satellite system so he could have one in his room and of course that is the one we are having trouble with. Hopefully talking to Netgear support will be simple and smooth. I am dreading it and I work in an internet and tech support field!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding Coverage and Speed My new Orbi RBK852 has outstanding coverage and virtually no drop off in speed over my 3650 square foot condo. I am getting speeds of 934 mbs at the furthest distance from the satellite (I pay for 1000 mbs from my internet provider). I did disconnect the free Armor trial as my Orbi was dropping the internet signal over night when using Armor, requiring me to reboot the Orbi every morning. Turning off Armor solved the problem. I have 23 devices connected to the Orbi system and have no buffering when streaming movies or playing games. Just fast, smooth internet. I am very pleased!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Complete lack of Support from Netgear Corporate I have had my Orbi for about 1 year and it has never performed at the speeds that are advertised in the specs and marketing material. I continue to get Firmware updates which do nothing to increase speed. 300Mb is the fastest ever via WiFi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Faster but installation could have been easier. Connection speed has increased over the RBK750 and it allows more devices. The instructions for installation should have said that it may be necessary to contact the internet proved to reset your ISP with the new MAC device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Orbi upgrade I recently upgraded to the new Orbi tri band wifi router with satellite. The installation was fairly easy for a non tech guy like me. The router is super fast with coverage across my entire house and even on back patio. One of the best parts is it comes with bitdefender which I installed on all my devices. Since installing there have been 38 blocks of attempts to infiltrate my system. I would highly recommend this system.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding I recently moved into a multi-level home where the router was at the front of the house on the 2nd floor. The floor plan is such that the main level was below and tucked back from the 2nd floor while the 3rd was above the main level. Needless to say, the WiFi signal was terrible. I purchased the Orbi WiFi6 with hopes that the signal would improve. I was amazed at how well it worked! I went from 40 Mbps to 942 Mbps! Great product and would highly recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best option available, still room to grow So we bought a refurbished system and I had to spend four hours on the phone with Orbi for them to determine the system was defective and was still registered to another name. For some reason they could not unregister it and recommended I return it if it was within the window. So I returned and paid for another. Fortunately this one works great. We were able to ditch our FIOS router (which only got wifi signal on one floor), and get much faster speeds through our multi level house. I’m very satisfied and may add an outdoor satellite to ensure we have signs throughout our property. I’d love to see a little more precision to the control over what wifi bands are used and how to add multiple segmentations to the wifi instead of choosing “guest vs main”

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy Install / Great Performance Having many friends with mesh systems and having heard of difficult setup and continued spotty performance, I was concerned about mesh systems. I did my due diligence and selected this close-to-top-end Orbi. My service to the house in 1 Gb fiber. Install was EASY. Performance is excellent, exceeding expectations. Wired from a satellite I get 920Gb/s down. WiFi from a satellite I get about 100 Gb/s less (about 820). Worst case (far end of yard, outside house) I got 20 Gb/s without a satellite in the back end of the house and 240 Gb/s with a satellite in the house. The downside of this product is a repeated (in my case unwanted) prompts to purchase add-ons such as parental locks.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why not Orbi? Why wouldn't you want the Best WiFi mesh system on the market? Set up is a breeze with the app. Why not have the added security of Netgear Armour protecting you from pishing and malicious malware? Why have dead spots in your house when with Orbi satellites you are covered? Orbi has all you need to make sure all the devices in your home have Wi-Fi.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Improvement I was using an older Wifi-5 mesh from another vendor. I had good coverage in my home. I just didn't have the granular control I wanted on my network. I purchased the Orbi 850 series to bring things up-to-date. Setup was easy enough. I didn't get as much granular control as I wanted, but I can access the router via a web browser instead of just on my smartphone. I didn't realize how much latency I was suffering on my old network. All of my devices have faster response times. Even the Alexa Echo that had trouble hearing me has cleaned out her ears. I have Gig service from my ISP, on the old router my speed was 850mb down. With Orbi, I'm now seeing the full 1100mb down. An added benefit is the Netgear Armor from Bitdefender. I had no idea my Linux machines were under constant attack. Armor is constantly providing information regarding attempted intrusions that it has blocked. I anticipate I'll keep that subscription. Orbi isn't as discreet as my old system, but the improvements it has made to my connectivity and security are worth it.

Best system on the market hands down and the simplicity of the system makes it easy for any skill level to set it up.
