Amazing product
This product seriously works with no problems after an easy setup. The wifi in the house was horrible because of the plaster walls but this has made it fast and functioning. I could literally only game in one part of my house, now I can game outside in the garage if I wish. The wifi signal is insanely strong and am extremely happy with this product. Highly recommend.

Best Mesh ever, Orbi delivers!
I upgraded from a Nighthawk R7000 to the Orbi. While the Nighthawk is a great router, I needed something more up to date for 2024, and the Orbi fits the bill perfectly! We now have WiFi coverage in areas of our home where we never had a signal before. My wife used to complain about her FaceTime calls dropping and issues with streaming, but since we’ve had the Orbi for a week, there have been no complaints from anyone in the house. As the go-to person for tech in our home, it’s a relief to know everyone can browse the web without any issues! Thank you NETGEAR!

Buyer Beware
I actually purchased two of this particular Wireless Mesh Router system. I bought two because I knew the unit I was purchasing was refurbished and I wanted to have my bases covered in the instance the router was DOA. My ISP came and connected the Fiber to the house and I began the process of connecting the first router. The Orbi app was a breeze to use and everything seemed to be going swimmingly until it came time to actually connect to the wi-fi network. Each time I clicked “connect” it would begin the process and then almost immediately tell me that it was unable to connect to the network. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps… 3 times… with both systems:1. Turned off cellular data2. Restarted my phone3. Power cycled the router & modemNone of these steps made any difference. On the second system, the satellite units would not even connect to the base unit. Their LED lights just blinked continuously searching for the network, which was never found. Finally I broke down and called Netgear support. I was greeted with a foreign accent, something that was not unexpected, and informed that the router(s) I had purchased was 2+ years old and that the warranty only covered a single year. The fact that I had just purchased the unit(s) a few days previously had no effect on the warranty as they told me the warranty did not extend to refurbished units. I was told that I would need to purchase a new service plan in order for them to troubleshoot my system. I decided to return the units and purchase a TP Link router from my local Walmart and it worked out of the box with no issues at all and covered my entire area quite efficiently.

Highly Recommend
I purchased this to extend the wifi coverage in the house, it exceeded my expectations! We now have wifi in the whole yard. It was easy to set up, the app walked me through it step by step.

Seamless high speed WIFI coverage.
It is so great being able to move all around the house and not have to wait for (or have to force) the connection to change from one router to the next. The mesh networks I looked at were really expensive but then I found the refurbished item at $77 for a router and 2 satellites.The set up via the Orbi app was quite straightforward. I was able to just plug in the cat 5 cable to the router to connect it to the cable modem and power up the router and satellites. I skipped part of the instructions to power down and power up the cable modem and disconnect all other devices. I did power down and disconnect the WIFI access point whose SSID I re-used for the mesh.There were a few times where the orbi app required you to go to wifi settings and reconnect to the network to finish the setup. These times include when you 1) change the ssid from orbi_setup to your preferred ssid, update the admin password, and update the firmware to the latest version. There might have been a time or two where the app seemed to be spinning its wheels and touching the screen may have (perhaps coincidentally) snapped it out of its navel gazing and moved it to the next stage.All in all happy with the result. The speed is decent and the coverage is robust. We have a chimney in the center of the house that is opaque to WIFI and I was able to completely surround it. The speedtest function in the orbi app is a bit too optimistic on the download speed but seems to match other measures vis-a-vis the upload speed.I have other access points for things like cameras, sensors, and “smart” switches/outlets that needed the 2.4 GHz band so I didn’t have to spend twice as much for the refurbished 3 band mesh unit and could stick with the two band unit (5 Ghz for user access and 6 GHz backhaul circuit for the satellites.)

Ok but not great
For the average person these are probably fine. If you have any desire to make serious custom changes, find something else. There are many shortcomings to these devices. The most irritating one for me, you can’t give 2.4 & 5GHz separate ssid names. I have certain devices that connect to 2.4 only, and I need my phone to be on the same, which I found impossible without disabling the 5GHz said. Once I had my phone on 2.4 and got the devices connected and turned 5 back on, I couldn’t get other devices that needed to be on 5 back on 5. I could forget the network and reconnect and it would only connect back to 2.4. There are other settings that would be nice to be able to change and putting it in AP mode takes away a ton of settings that one would want for an AP. Still better than the Eero we had but barely. There needs to be software changes to make these more easy to use.
