Customer Ratings & Reviews

Extremely easy set up via the app and complete WiFi coverage for our entire house (3300 sq ft) and beyond to our back patio and porch as well. We have fiber internet and have gone through 3 systems before landing on the Orbi. Our last system - Mesh MR80 worked well except we experienced drops and dead spots throughout the house. Our main connections are in the second floor and satellites were spaced on the first floor - which did not help the situation. Was going to purchase a repeater but decided to scrap the whole system and install Orbi - which has been a godsend. No refreshing the system, no dead spots, no buffering… extremely happy with the new system. Before Orbi - we would drop streaming content, video conferences would buffer or be delayed. Orbi has helped us maximize our WiFi capabilities. Orbi app is very user friendly and much easier to use than the previous knighthawk app.

Extremely happy with this system. 2600sq ft home 40+ devices I’m getting full speeds even beyond my home. My kids are happy also because they all have game systems and have noticed no lags since buying this system. Also the BestBuy I purchased this system from have a GREAT team of knowledgeable staff and professionals who helped me with making this choice for my home.

Finally! I am so happy to finally be receiving speeds I have been paying for. I have Gigabit from Xfinity and I am using their XB7 modem for internet and phone. I have tried a variety of different setups including Amazon eero Pro 6, TP Link Deco and a D-Link mesh system. Nothing seemed to give me the coverage and speeds I needed. So I decided to try Orbi (cost initially kept me away honestly). I am very happy with my Orbi and have had Zero disconnects either on WiFi or hard wired. I have attached 3 pictures of what I am getting at the Orbi (along with the wall bracket for the router) and another speed test result from my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Very pleased with the results. My XBOX Series X, PS5, and even my sons PS4 and XBOX ONE X (all hard wired) are loving the Orbi! We also have 4 iPad Pros (4th Generation), 5 iPhones (oldest is a Xs Max), Google Nest thermostats and Kasa switches to name a few on Orbi. The satellite is on my second level and is ETHERNET BACKHAULED. Prior to purchasing Orbi I have been upgrading to CAT 7 Ethernet cable around the entire house. So I decided to wire the satellite directly to the router and it’s been stable. I also have a Netgear GS108 unmanaged switch (all CAT 7 cable) for other various devices that I chose to not put on wireless. The ONLY negative I can give you about MY experience is Netgear Armor. I had the 30 day free trial and for the first 25 days it seemed ok. Then when the trial had 5 days left, I was getting spammed with alerts like crazy. The alerts were for issues that suddenly appeared out of the blue! Seems crazy to me but it felt like a marketing push to purchase a subscription to Armor. My experience is to tell you to stay away from Netgear Armor. Setup was extremely easy and I really feel anyone who can use a smart phone can set this up. So my setup is… Xfinity XB7 > Netgear Orbi Router > Orbi Satellite Ethernet Backahuled > Netgear GS108 Unmanaged Switch. Easy Peasy! :-)

Excellent!! So easy to set up. I downloaded the app and it’s very user friendly. The coverage is excellent in any room of the house. I also purchased the Netgear Nighthawk Cable Modem CM-1200. It works perfectly with Orbi and I couldn’t be happier. I absolutely love my Home Orbi system. When you see the name Netgear I always think quality.

Upgraded from Comcast xfinity gateway with Comcast gigabit service. iPhone 11 pro pulls down 900+ on same floor as router. Upstairs near the satellite still gets about 500. 2story house about 3000 sq ft. Comcast was periodically dropping connection. Not a problem now. Included other routers for size comparison. Setup was a breeze and app allows same functionality as Google Wifi puck. Apple needs to hurry up and release more Wifi 6 devices to so I can justify this big price. 4/5 stars due to price

Wow what a difference switching from AMPLIFI to Orbi AX6000. Prior to the switch at the modem hard wired I was getting approximate speeds of 525 mbps, My old router mesh system dropped it to ~ 175 mbps throughout the house with 2 satellites. Since switching my speeds of increase throughout the entire home to 470 to 450 Mbps consistently. With the same number of devices attached 30 in total, two with VPN’s. App is clean and easy to use. Now for the bad which Customer support helped correct immediately. Both the router and satellite required firmware software updates prior to initiating the system. Normally this is done in the background automatically however in this instance the routers failed to update automatically and a manual process have to be used. It was an easy fix however it did require a call into tech-support. The technician was easy to follow very patient and help us walk-through this issue. All in all I would highly recommend this product.

Yes, it's a bit more money, but if ease of setup, ease of use, and wireless range are important, than this is the sweet spot from Netgear's offerings. They do have the quad band, but I felt like this is more than enough for my connectivity without spending another $400-500. This gear just works!!

As advertised, arrived on time, packed well, shipped with care. Easily assembled and up and running in no time. Highly recommended. Enhanced wifi now.

Do I need 900mb speed WiFi on my phone? No. Is it baller? Absolutely. This router is amazingly fast in all rooms of my house. I’ve had tri-band routers before and you would have to pick between which band you wanted to be on, 2.4, 5.1, or 5.2. With this router it’s one choice and the router picks which is best for you which is amazing. I’m not a systems expert and I just need a router that’s easy to set up and easy to use with blazing speeds. This router fills that, definitely recommend.

I do not write a lot of reviews and was on the edge abour getting this Orbi. If tou are in the edge, have slow wfi that does not not reach all corners of your hkuse and ober aall want a better, faster wifi system, GET IT! Hook up with the orbi app was extremly simple. Thank you Orbi!

The best wireless router I ever owned. I have a 3100 sf house and the signal is very strong both upstairs and downstairs. If you are looking for the very best router on the market this is the one for you. Also, it is very easy to set up. Ready to go right out the box.

Easy set up, with my Netgear Cable modem. covers my whole house of 1800 square feet no issues so far.

Amazing! Very easy to set up! The app is user friendly. I like that you can create a guest WIFI and set up limits to content and parental controls. This was for a huge awkwardly shaped building that was built in 1902 and have a ton of brick, it worked fantastic and we have amazing signal and service. Our building is three stories and we placed one on each level. I love that we can also hard wire a computer into the router as well. Sleek and doesn't take up a ton of space.

I have had Asus for years and had no Idea mesh was sooo fast reliable and easy. this 850 was the very best investment I ever made. just plug up and easy setup. If a person really wants performance use a cat 6 Ethernet cable to connect these babys together. All I can say is thank you Orbi !!!

I had some technology updates at my house and it was clear that my 2018 router was not adequate. In my research, I found this Netgear Orbi mesh system and knew that this was the best one for me needs. Easy to set up and activate. I was pleased that I was able to keep my same network name and PW. The speed is incredible, greatly enhanced. The mesh allows me to monitor my outdoor generator. I am excited to add some newer technology to my home now that I have such a reliable system. Highly recommend!

It's been a month since I installed this mesh system and so far very stable and happy with the results. The speed is very good if you have Gig internet connection at home. Setting it up was easy with the app or via the web interface, I will give this system 5 stars if it can be configured further like their other routers. Does not have 160 option yet. It is possible to get with an update. Parental control is not existent. If you have kids, this is not the router/mesh combo you should have. Another reason for 4 star vs 5 star is the price. Other than that, works great and you can cover over 5000 sqf with these 3 units. Solid signal everywhere and download speeds on my iPhone 600+ and same upload. At a distance, average download 400+ and same uploads.

I bought these routers to improve the internet speeds around our house and they did not disappoint. The speeds are blazing fast and I love that each unit has 4 wired connections. Setup was easy but be warned, when you are doing the initial setup, DO NOT rename the network until after setup is complete, you’ll save yourself a huge headache trying to get the app to work later. I read a review that stated these do not work with Ring devices or smart home products but that is absolutely false. Users just need to reconnect to the new network even if it has the same name. The Orbi units are very expensive but they do deliver.

Works perfectly. Extremely fast, very easy to set up. I had an older 3 node linksys system i needed to replace. I was concerned that this system only had 2 nodes (main +1), and would not be able to cover my whole home. It provides better coverage than my older 3 node system. For reference, i have 1gb internet up and down. 40+ devices connected counting all of the smart home accessories i have. Works great.

My prior Orbi router from 2018 was no longer working and I hesitated on what to buy next. Given the outstanding experience I had with Netgear tech support troubleshooting my 2018 router, I opted to get this new Orbi 6 system and am thrilled that I did. It was a breeze to install (7 minutes), the range is so much stronger than the old model so devices we struggled with are totally online now and the system is lightning fast. Love this product.

I switched to the Orbi AX6000 from the Arris Max AX11000 because I was still experiencing occasional deadspots in my relatively small home with old style plaster walls. Speed with both mesh systems was excellent although setup was easier with the Arris system. Companion app is sufficient but by no means robust (although neither was that of the Arris Max). Once set up, I have had 0 connection issues with this mesh network however am still having difficulties utilizing link aggregation which was not an issue with the Arris Max. Obviously the price of this system cant be ignored, and unless you are a fellow nerd interested in "future proofing" (despite already being a fossil with 6e on the horizon) you can save a fair amount by forgoing the switch to wifi 6. Also of significant note *DO NOT SPEND THE MONEY ON THIS MESH SYSTEM UNLESS YOU HAVE A GIG SPEED SERVICE PLAN FROM YOUR ISP* as there are other options that are much cheaper that will be more than sufficient. Aesthetically the router and satellite are relatively large but not obscenely so, and stylish enough to not need hidden from view. The plastic paneling does feel slightly less than premium but then again you don't really by a router to hold/walk around with it. Overall if you are looking into a WIFI-6 mesh system and are prepared to spend accordingly this is a solid option.
