Reviews around signal (5.00 of 5)

  • We now get a good signal on our third floor (Orbi is in basement) though it's not as strong as bottom two floors.
  • I have perfect wifi signal in every corner of my property!
  • Good signal through out the house and covers partially backyard and garage
  • Easy to install but router does not have strong signal in 2k+ square foot house as advertised.
  • With the ORBI system, I am getting a solid 200Mbps throughout every corner of the house, even the downstairs media room that I could never get a reliable signal

Reviews around performance (5.00 of 5)

  • Out of the box it should support commonly connected devices without requiring any additional configuration to allow for proper performance
  • I may consider getting an Orbi extender to improve performance on the third floor.
  • Very good overall performance with 30+ devices connected in our 3 story townhouse.
  • After a few days of good performance, we are now having to reboot the Orbi cable modem SEVERAL times per day.
  • But right out of the box, Im noticing much better performance than my x finity modem/router combo

Reviews around app (4.47 of 5)

  • Their Orbi smart phone app is excellent for easily and quickly managing the Orbis in your home
  • However, the mobile app works great and has nice graphics and features such as speedtest
  • FEATURES:5 stars: Though it has a smart phone app not all of its features can be configured through it, you will need to connect directly to the Orbi via its built in webpage
  • I love the app and the ability to control what's on the network remotely
  • Love the app, love even more not having 7 different WiFi networks and having to manually join the best one.

Reviews around coverage (4.45 of 5)

  • Also, until I got Orbi, I always had trouble getting coverage for my whole 4,000 square foot single story house and went through all kinds of agony trying to get coverage everywhere (my family has no qualms about complaining about such things)
  • Much better coverage compare to my previous router, and we can now get the Wifi signal even across the street from our home
  • Purchased the access point as well to make sure we had good coverage, but found out it’s really not even needed in about a 4K sqft home.
  • This is a good router with excellent coverage and very good speeds in my tests.
  • Great coverage overall and the ability to expand satellites to cover more area is perfect for outdoors.

Reviews around system (4.03 of 5)

  • n’t had issues with fluctuating signal, and I believe this is our magic fix
  • Still treasures networking knowledge but overall a good system
  • THIS system...the CBK40... also works very well and makes for a cleaner installation as it replaces the modem as well as the router
  • This is a problem you would expect with a cheap system not a 300$ one
  • Dropping from the original 4 stars down to 2.Original Review:This is a nice, though expensive, whole house router system.

Reviews around setup (3.80 of 5)

  • For most people it is no longer necessary to dig deep into the menus to make obscure setup adjustments
  • Easy setup and satellite works well extending excellent coverage in previous dead spots in the house.
  • The satellite wireless unit was an easy setup - plenty of power even in the back of our old, plaster-walled house; but it flawlessly connected to the modem - which was connected to...NOTHING!
  • I have only had this product for 24 hours but the setup with Xfinity internet was super easy

Reviews around speed (3.66 of 5)

  • For about 24 hours after set up, we were experiencing dropped connections, down satellites, and slow internet speeds.
  • The 3 band wifi router can deliver speeds up to 2.2gbps which is significantly more than what is available in my area, but I have noticed I do get very fast speeds with low latency using this CBR40 unit
  • When I was experiencing issues with the lack luster speed of a wired connection from the Orbi to my
  • If you don’t have Gigabit internet from you cable provider this will work fine, but it’s not future proof so expect to have to replace it in a year or two if you really want blazing fast speeds
  • I do not get slower speeds anymore.

  • n’t had issues with fluctuating signal, and I believe this is our magic fix
  • I have always used a cheaper router before thinking my house was too small to justify the expense of a better router, I was wrong.
  • It includes a super-fast modem, a secure router, and a reliable extender satellite
  • My old router which was a very strong coverage gaming router, was good, but this clearly outperforms it as well it should.

Reviews around device (3.35 of 5)

  • and I thought I would have to reconfigure other smart devices in our home (like our August lock)--which we did not
  • Overall, it's not a bad device if you're technically proficient and don't have gigabit - certainly the satellites can help extend the range problem
  • Supports multiple devices with no decrease in upload/download speed
  • Likewise if the device was glitch free it would be a five star device at this price
  • I signed up for Comcast Internet at the same time I cracked this device out of the box
