NETGEAR - Orbi AC2200 Tri-Band Mesh Wi-Fi System (3-pack)

This Orbi combo kit is a pretty good performer. Excellent for streaming and fast download speeds. Great for gaming too. Being able to run a wire to your device from the satellite orbis is an excellent feature, as it really helps gaming performance! Only reason I gave it four stars is because you have to find a sweet spot for the satellite orbis or else they might have problems staying connected to the main router Orbi, and that may not be in a location that you prefer in that room. But find that sweet spot and it won't disappoint. Parental control, phone app, and guest network features are really great to have!

I spent a week researching mesh WiFi and reading every article I could find. Finally narrowed it down to the Orbi and the Google. I chose the Orbi for its dedicated tri-band. Installed it today and I’m very happy with the result. I had an Asus router that performed great until a month ago. Everything got super slow. But with this upgrade, I’ve got speed to burn. I’ve attached a photo and you can see where the install took place. From 25mbps to 180... Save yourself some time and head scratching and buy the Orbi

Great product. Wish I would have bought it sooner. Very happy with how well my wifi is in basement.

Love the product, high speed in the back of my home

it's good but its hard to connect in some areas and the stream needs a little more work in picking up

Kept telling me I had to set-up my system, even though I did it and it said complete. Then, it kept dropping the internet on EVERY CHANGE I MADE. NEVER had this experience with my Linksys. Called tech support, they took my telephone number, incase we got dropped. The line dropped and instead of calling me back, they closed the trouble ticket....TWICE. Brand new, out of the box and HORRIBLE experience with the reliability of the product and HORRIBLE customer support. Taking this back and buying a Linksys, it will be well worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Living in a large older brick house with metal lathe and plaster walls, good wifi coverage has been hard to achieve. We had a good enough system that we had put together with a router and a couple of access points, but there were still dead spots, and there were awkward "hand offs" from one access point to another that sometimes required us to log off of one and onto another. The Orbi AC2200 with two satellites has solved those problems for us. We have more even coverage throughout the house, and devices never seem to struggle with diminishing signal as we move from room to room. The signal strength outside the house is noticeably stronger. Set up was easy, and monitoring and adjusting the system through the iPhone app is simple too. We have six wifi users in our house and approximately thirty devices, and everyone is glad that we installed the Orbi.

Very happy with this purchase! WiFi issues are a fact of modern life these days. In our ever-more-connected homes, dependable WiFi is both critical and nearly impossible. It used to be that a wireless network had a couple of laptops and a printer, but now there are multiple TVs streaming 4K, smartphones, printers with their own hotspots, doorbells, smart thermostats, etc. And that doesn't count all the interference from devices in your neighbor's homes. In my case, that meant that despite having a 100mpbs internet connection I was seeing download speeds of 5-8 mbps in my upstairs home office - and lots of times where the connection was lost altogether. With Orbi, I don't just have one WiFi accesss point. Instead, there is a base station and two satellites, giving me three different ways to connect. Each unit is a router in its own right, and the satellites also provide for wired Ethernet access too. Best of all, they use their own 5Ghz backhaul frequency, while providing seamless 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz connections to my devices. My coverage is uniformly good throughout my home, and in the yard and out front too. Setup took just a short time, and while Orbi offers a smartphone app for configuration, you don't really need one. The Orbi units display their setup status with color-coded displays. For more advanced users, you can access the full suite of advanced router capabilities through a web interface. I have recommended this product to friends and co-workers many times. You will not be sorry!
