    NETGEAR Orbi Ultra-Performance Whole Home Mesh WiFi System - fastest WiFi router and single satellite extender with speeds up to 3 Gbps over 5,000 sq. feet, AC3000 (RBK50)

    • The best residential router I have ever owned
    • I tried this system out instead of a more powerful single router for my 750sqft apartment, mind you my apartment is tiny, the system had good speed but the satellite would lose connection frequently enough to be annoying
    • The Orbi app is pretty good.- Fast when it actually works.- The router and satellite are attractive enough to leave out in the open, though they're both a heck of a lot bigger than I expected
    • The coverage surpasses any other router I have ever had
    • Dependable routers capable of connecting over weird topography
    • Like I said before: it’s an excellent mesh system and a very buggy router
    • Great router and mesh WiFi network
    • They were drop dead simple to setup, have the best router app I've ever used, and perform fantastically
    • Best router
    • My 5 year old apple router can handler that, apparently netgear new shiny router cannot
    • Great router.
    • The Router works well and has good range
    • After spending serious money on a RT-AC88U and a Time Capsule only to discover the Time Capsule works “good” with limited range and the 88U is NOT a good router at all
    • This is a GREAT router and WiFi device!
    • The router was super easy to set up
    • Moved from range extenders, improved routers and finally, Panorama from Cox.
    • Second issue:Configured the router with non special character password
    • Our entire home is blanketed with connectivity which is such a noticeable change compared with our previous arrangement be it a single strong router or a variety of range extenders
    • This is the best router that i have ever owned.
    • The router is great, The setup is easy and the router has been running smoothly since the original setup.
    • After just two months of use in my new home this router died
    • I tell my friends how great and fast it is, but they go out and buy the expensive "gaming" routers; only to be disappointed
    • Best router I’ve ever owned.
    • It is by far the best wireless router I have ever owned
    • Twice as fast as previous wireless router

    • Circle went thru the check and very happily said "Your router is compatible"

    • After using a slow router all this time, this device has been such a game changer
    • I would highly recommend the Netgear Orbi router.
    • It’s a great mesh system but a horrible router, it seems
    • Easy router to setup and excellent coverage and speed
    • If you like having your network go down constantly and having to routinely reboot your router and love flakey internet and toggling settings trying to get something to work, then this is the product for you.
    • (Thus, the super-fast Netgear Nightawk router would have been overkill b/c of Comcast’s limitations.)
    • My older Netgear router works much better.
    • I would recommend this router to anyone
    • I'm glad I found this and went this route instead of a range extender or more powerful router.
    • As the title says — the best router I’ve ever owned

    • Setting up Orbi was the most intuitive router I've ever used
    • I finally decided to replace my ~10 year old Linksys with a more modern router.
    • I have Fios and had used their best router
    • This router fixed that issue
    • This router is good but had an issue and calling netgear tech support is like pulling teeth
    • Great router system
    • We currently have a Netgear router and range extender for our 2000 sq ft, 3-story city row home, and it works fine, but it occasionally cuts out randomly, and this setup forces us to have essentially four networks for the home (two 2Ghz networks and two 5Ghz).
    • I had hooked up some pretty good routers in the main living space and then made one a slave in the attic and it
    • The price doesn't bug me all that much but the deception does--most routers can access a Circle subscription, so how is this one any different from every other router that also "includes" Circle
    • I had very spotty coverage at home, even thought I was using a powerful router and an extender
    • I've used routers and extenders and they never worked
    • I upgraded to the newer version of the AirPort Extreme (the new tall version with a supposedly improved antenna) and it wasn’t a great router

    • I so wanted to like the Router
    • This is a great router with a WiFi extender that is very easy to setup and program
    • After sorting out my internet provider issues, the routers worked great
    • The orbi is a great router setup that greatly expands WiFi for your house
    • One of the easiest routers I've ever set up.
    • We have a fiber connection at home, but even with our old (good, year-old) router, never managed to hit speeds above 150-200 Mpbs, even feet from the router
    • This was the easiest router setup ever
    • I can’t recommend this router enough.
    • The Obri router works fine by itself
    • Net, this router looks good
    • I recommend this router for others.
    • Great router but the most expensive on the market.
    • Then tried upgrading the router -- unsuccessful, and once again, could not get on the orbilogin.com.
    • We had a pretty good router which worked well for a couple of
    • I already had a good router an ASUS AC87U AC2200
    • I have a large home, and the pitiful WiFi router installed by the cable company covered about 15% of my house.
    • The best router I have ever
    • Incredible router
    • And none of the fixes have addressed the most widespread problem of losing internet connectivity (router to modem) multiple times a day.
    • This isn't a cheap solution, but if you're looking at a top-line wireless router, this is in the same range, and, from my experience, the coverage is much better
    • Previously we had a main router and a few range extenders, it worked okay, but the connectivity was intermittent and not very fast at all
    • This is the easiest router to setup, provides excellent coverage, and the speeds are amazing
    • If your main router is in a difficult location (like the corner of the basement with a concrete wall next to it) you will still have problems placing a router to a remote part of your house
    • If you wanted a simple Non-intrusive router with simple parental controls, KEEP LOOKING!This not the router for you
    • Best router and expansion system that I ever had
    • Best router I've ever had
    • That made every room a virtual Faraday cage, and, despite 2 router-extenders, strong signals, and a decent router, we had spotty wifi
    • Best router upgrade on the market
    • In all cases I was replacing a single strong router plus various extenders, boosters, and powerline systems
    • I love this router and satellite
    • As someone who has used a number of good (and bad) WiFi routers since the technology was introduced, the Orbi has been a revelation
    • Reaches into places in our home that a modern router and range extender could not
    • Best router purchase I have made
    • Highly recommend the orbi router
    • I decided to see if placing the Orbi in AP mode helps in combination with a stable router from Ubiquiti (I bought the EdgeRouter X per recommendations on Reddit et al)
    • Upgraded to 2.0.1.4.Since this netgear router support Disney circle app, decided to configure the app
    • This a great router but the Orbi app is lousy and useless.
    • My old router was a little faster (not much) but the range was only faster if you were in the same room
    • It is definitely not worth the high price, or even a much lower price.2nd update: the router was stable for about a month, but now it resets about every 15 minutes.
    • We purchased a better router than the cable company one and got better results at times.
    • We didn’t want to blow money on high end a router because Comcast Xfinity internet speed apparently maxes out around 150mbps (as of April 2018)
    • This is by far the most unreliable and unstable router I've ever used.
    • This router was so easy to setup and was up and running in no time at all
    • After extensive testing of everything in the signal path, it was clear the router was the problem.
    • This was a pricey router, all the claims it makes were true
    • Plus, I can keep the router out in plain sight on the shelf and my wife doesn't complain about the look of it
    • Best router I've ever experienced
