The Netgear Orbi delivers a strong and reliable connection throughout the home, offering stable coverage without dead zones and smooth transitions between the main router and satellites. Its high speed and dependable bandwidth make it ideal for streaming, gaming, and handling multiple devices at once, making it an excellent choice for anyone seeking consistent, high-quality Wi-Fi performance.

Great product. The app works great and makes setup very easy, especially if you are upgrading an existing network. My network has over 20 devices connected to it and having to go to each one to connect them is a time consuming pain, but I didn't have to with this product. It located my devices and connected them for me. The signals are strong throughout the house with no drops. This is in contrast to the terrible ASUS ZenWiFi BT6 it replaced. That product's app is terrible, the setup is a reinstall of everything and the router itself randomly drops connections.

I don't even know where to start on this review. I bought these three months ago to replace my 7 year old Google WiFi (1st generation). I spent a while researching different mesh systems, talking with friends, and reading input from the community. Ended up settling on this Orbi system. Walk through the various aspects of this mesh system:1) Setup is reasonable easy. Thankfully seeing as how I have had to do it 4 times in 3 months. I will say, changing the network name is a bit of a hassle. You need to connect to the router WiFi network to set it up. If you change the name, the app will not automatically connect you to the new network, or be smart enough to adjust things automatically. You need to go into your settings, connect to the new network name, and then wait 5 min for the Orbi system to setup.2) Performance wise, it is okay. Not great. Speeds are definitely higher than they were on my old system. I don't see a lot of dead zones in my house. My biggest issue here is that if the main router loses power, I need to do a factory reset and create the network again. That means going through the entire setup again for anything from a power surge, a power outage because of weather, or needing to manually turn the power off to the room because of electrical work. The routers restart, and only about half of my devices will reconnect. Even within similar apps (one Wyze camera will connect, one will not). I will restart the system, and then other devices will connect and be disconnected. It is absolutely ridiculous that I need to do a factory reset to get the network back working.3) Customer support is an absolute joke. I forgot how bad it is. First off, everyone you speak too is borderline hard to understand. Guess the overseas connection isn't superb, go figure. Second, they give you 90 days support. So I spent hundreds of dollars on Netgear products, and after 3 months, they will not help unless I spend more money. Did not realize that before I bought the Orbi system otherwise I would. Have never considered them. Thirdly, the support they give is absolutely worthless. Two people I spoke to both told me to factory reset. And when I asked if I will have to do that everytime I lose power, I was told "No! Of course not!". What a joke.Avoid this at all costs. Might be good for some people, but not me. They have become glorified paperweights. Expensive paperweights at that. Should have just gone with the newer Google mesh. Least their customer support is good. And they stand by their products without asking more money for useless help.

I recently upgraded my mesh system from Orbi 6 to Orbi 7. I was pretty happy with my Orbi 6 but wanted to upgrade for two reasons: 1: I wanted faster speed and the new WiFi standard and 2: better coverage. It should be noted that we have to cover two buildings app. 2400 sqft each and 100 ft apart. I had my 6 configured with one satellite in the other building. That did work but it had a hard time keeping the connection. Although the wifi signal was full strength there. Upgraded to 7 and bought an extra satellite. Now everything is working perfect and with full coverage for wifi, internet and my alarm system. The one 7 satellite in the other building covers easily all 2400 sqft. I'm very happy with the upgrade.

Seems like it works well. Can deliver 1Gb speed rated through my cable isp. A couple drops where I couldn’t even connect to the local device. I think it defaults to anywhere access which requires an internet connection. Seems like the default should be local with a fallback to anywhere. Also, there’s no good way to troubleshoot after the fact what happened. Many of the “premium” features are nice like parental controls but should be included at this price point. They also have active armor for device security scanning but that’s also subscription based.Overall solid device. Their wired back haul is a big plus but their satellite units are quite bulky, plus some of their features should be standard and not subscription based.
