FANTASTIC WI-FI SYSTEM
By TweetyChick03 on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2025
I'll start by saying a little bit about my situation--I live with my parents, and we live in a house of about 2200 square foot house with a shed that's about thirty feet or less from the house. We were looking for a Mesh Wi-Fi system that would cover our entire house as well as reach out to that shed (my Dad uses that for his workshop and has a TV etc.). We have one option for internet, and one noncable or satellite option for TV, so after searching and trying multiple systems. I ended up with Netgear. This system has by far been the best for our needs. It says connected, is fast, was easy to set up (I'm tech savvy--someone who would be able to set it up within a reasonable amount of time if you follow directions). My personal recommendation is if you have trouble with the Orbi app go online and use the website--for whatever reason, the app WOULD NOT work for me. This system has reconnected automatically or with little issues after a power outage. I also love the Netgear/Orbi website that allows me to customize settings (both security, name my network etc.). As far as the system looks that really is a personal preference. I don't think they're bad. I really can't recommend this system or even Netgear/Orbi enough.

Nothing but frustration!
By Craig on Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2025
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I bought this system to replace an older Orbi system that I had that I really liked. It was reliable and easy to configure. It just couldn’t keep up with newer internet speeds. I didn’t want to pay an arm and leg for the latest Orbi systems so landed on this one. It set up easily just like my old Orbi mesh system and I was excited to have an upgrade to our WiFi. Unfortunately that excitement didn’t last. I had nothing but issues with connections dropping, speeds being even slower than my old system, and frustration from the entire family. After a few months I gave up and purchased an Eero system instead. The Eero has been fast, reliable, and easy and all the complains from family members about how bad the WiFi was with the Orbi suddenly stopped and everybody was happy. I’m sure the newer Orbi mesh systems that cost over $1000 up to over $2000 probably work great, but this one was a complete failure full of headaches and frustration. Do yourself a favor and either look to spend the premium bucks for the high end Orbi or get an Eero. If you buy this one chances are you’ll just wish you hadn’t.
