I found the initial setup to be clunky with repeated resets and restarts.

Great WiFi performance and coverage, simple to update, only slight negative was the initial setup was not completely intuitive, nor100% clear from the instructions and took 2 attempts.

The setup was extremely easy, and only took a few minutes

Easy setup, connected with great coverage on 3900 SF house.

Easy setup and was pleasantly surprised with the speed!

The spotty coverage in my house ended when I easily installed the Orbi

Easy to set up and great coverage over a 2,500 sq.ft. house

Easy to set up and provides excellent coverage throughout the house and into the yard.

I had very spotty coverage at home, even thought I was using a powerful router and an extender

I no longer suffer spotty coverage in far reaches of my home.

Easy to set up, steady speed and good coverage throughout the house

Tried 3 different AT&T standard modem/routers - but none of them were able to provide full coverage of my home (either dropped connections or experienced very slow speeds further away from the router).

Tried a few solutions (extenders, etc.) but speeds were still spotty and slow

But, not only do I have better coverage from the orbi, but I'm getting faster download speeds over WiFi

Installed this in a client's house to alleviate some dead spots and slow speeds they were having with their current system

I am very impressed and would recommend the Orbi system to anyone looking to solve their home wifi issues

I highly recommend the NETGEAR Orbi AC3000 WiFi System!

The system failed an automatic firmware update and the wireless went down

By far the best system I have owned, easy to set up and works great.

The system was the easiest wifi system I have ever set up

I upgraded from a clunky range extender that required many resets and manual intervention.

The range of the Wifi router is outstanding and the speed output in all corners of my home is amazing.

The range is great, the speed is fantastic and setup was a breeze.

Works very well, dramatically improved wifi speed and range , easy set up and installation - highly recommend it

, this thing is fast and has much better range than luma.

Also may want to disable the wireless network on the modem if there is one.

Needed a solution to weak network signal in back of the house and this product delivers

Got the same result, no wifi, crashed my home network and internet

Then I replaced the Orbi with another popular wifi mesh network.

I am looking forward to the Netgear Armor product to help harden my networks.

The performance is amazing and I have coverage everywhere!

We have had it for several weeks now with perfect performance

For a couple of years I suffered with awful Wi-Fi performance using AT&T Uverse standard equipment.

Performance changes with each of the setting combos we've tried, but it's never good

Our home is not huge, but we often found poor performance on the other side of the house

Clearly they knew their product was intrinsically flawed.

This product was easy to set up and it worked great for 30 days.

Loved it at first but now would not recommend this product.

There is no denying the fact that the product is pretty pricey.

This product was easy to set up and it worked great for 30 days.

because I was tired of having areas of my house with very weak signal...

Have a strong signal in every part of the house and garage

Unlike with the AirPorts, we now have strong WiFi signal everywhere in the house

Not only is it reliable, with a strong signal throughout the entire house, but it's fast

It was easy to set up and provides a reliable, strong signal all through the house

That was the only thing about the new Orbi system that frustrated me

The Netgear Orbi is beset with numerous firmware issues.

Orbi was easy to set up, just follow the instructions on the app

The Orbi is extremely easy to setup and provides great coverage

The Orbi was easy to set up and full coverage of the house

This was a pricey router, all the claims it makes were true

This is a great router with a WiFi extender that is very easy to setup and program

The coverage surpasses any other router I have ever had

I have always used netgear but can not recommend the orbi router.

It’s a great mesh system but a horrible router, it seems

Although there were many reviews saying that set up was complicated, I did not find it was that difficult using the app and the internet interface

It was easy to set up and extremely easy to monitor with a user friendly app

The app is easy to use and provides good network control

Unboxing was very Apple-like, setup was intuitive, and the app is very easy to use

However, the list of things that are in the don't work camp are- as a router (setup UI is literally unfinished, default router settings cause sub-1mbit speeds at random)- with wired backhaul, the required firmware version breaks mesh support completely, and trying an ethernet backhaul causes a broadcast storm.- from a phone (the app is terrible and has about a total of 6 options, and shows wrong info)If you live somewhere that needs orbi in API instead of router

The orbi provides blazing fast wifi throughout our home

My internet is now blazing fast and I have no dead WiFi spots in my house

Needed solution to 2 areas of my house with spotty wifi

So the opposite side of the house had very poor WiFi and now it's about the same all over

The WiFi works wonderfully and the WiFi signal is very strong throughout my house

Easy to install & instantly reached previously problematic areas of the house

So now non-tech family members have to mess with network properties as they come and go.

I have the base system, as well as, the outdoor satellite.

, it allowed us to cut our cable cord and go to Internet TV based set up and fix our dead zone areas in our house.

I ended up setting up an old wireless router until I can get Orbi working again, or until Netgear gets a stable firmware update

Also, as there is no way to easily disable auto-update, you have to do that almost everyday as the system will update itself

I purchased the Orbi 2 pack and it was the best update in years

I have the base system, as well as, the outdoor satellite.

The system failed an automatic firmware update and the wireless went down

Problematic - I have not had the unit for a week yet and have had to make 4 or 5 calls into technical support.

Between the smart blue ray player, three smart tv’s, PS3, PS4, X Box One S, smart refrigerator, smart stove, smart water heater, your available bandwidth when your dying to binge watch Amazon, Netflix are severely limited

I wanted to be able to sit outside and work from my computer while the kids streamed, surfed, played x box and ran smart TV’s.

The problem first appeared to be a bad firmware upgrade that is a known issue

You will think after 5 months of problems that Netgear will get a new firmware out (I guess everyone needs to pay to let Netgear know their firmware is crap)...

but I am happy to report that the current firmware is stable and I have not had any issues so far

This VERY expensive system has been rendered junk and Orbi support has not provided any solution apart from beta firmware updates that fail to fix the problem

I have the base system, as well as, the outdoor satellite.

The Orbi mesh system eliminated all wifi connection issues with my wifi

This new rig from Netgear is a perfect pug-n-play solution that offers both the installation ease and advanced professional configuration options I wanted.

The connection issues with the Ring doorbell and Roku are no more

There are settings in the app and on the unit for turning off the LED’s, or you can program when they are on

It is not, quite as user friendly as the Netgear, but it does work flawlessly with everything I threw at it

Software updates: your lucky if the auto-update works and when it does the quality of the system does not improve

As I can't update, have no support, and am vulnerable, this device is going into the E-Waste pile, after just 6 months of use

I was concerned about the high price of the Orbi and a little hesitant to spend the money but whoa does it work amazingly well

does not support Ethernet back haul, only wireless, returned item

I placed 2 calls tonight, the first support rep lied to me and blamed the problem on Google.

’s internet connection and is therefore unreliable out of the box read the Netgear community postings this is an not isolated problem

I added this satellite to hopefully correct the problem

Fine, not a problem as I have an outdoor outlet near where the Orbi would be mounted.

Easy to install, simple step-by-step instructions are no problem to follow

signal is very strong and very convenient to have a satellite to connect with some wired devices like Philips hue bridge

but they are hard wired off of the Orbi and it all works.

The Orbi is a little bit better, especially with the built in 4 port switch so you can add hard wired equipment

I was even able to connect my old extenders to the Orbi so that I can hard wire devices into the network

but they are hard wired off of the Orbi and it all works.

I have had my Orbi on line for a month now and it does everything Netgear said it would, no disconnects, great WiFi and no dead spots

Pros - much faster throughput, longer range, no dead spots, once it is is working.

It covered about half the house with a few dead spots in that half

My internet is now blazing fast and I have no dead WiFi spots in my house

I have a good signal now, where before I had dead spots

Able to insert additional router for external hard drive application

For others that don't have a NAS set-up, the USB port supporting an external hard drive would be a huge benefit.

For others that don't have a NAS set-up, the USB port supporting an external hard drive would be a huge benefit.

If we had to provide a negative aspect, the only thing we could come up with is the USB port doesn't support an external hard drive.

great assistance with getting the external hard drive setup

This new rig from Netgear is a perfect pug-n-play solution that offers both the installation ease and advanced professional configuration options I wanted.

Suffice it to say, the entire basement was a dead zone and areas in between varied from acceptable (first floor, closest to the modem) to mostly inadequate.(note: if you are unfamiliar with some of the terminology in this section, don't let it confuse you
