Light years better than the virgin hub 4 , great wifi too.
Antes de comenzar a llenar mi departamento con cables ethernet por todas las habitaciones, intent este ultimo recurso para tener cobertura en toda la propiedad. debo decir que me sorprendi gratamente y ahora tenemos cobertura total.
Es fcil de instalar y con la aplicacin en el telfono permite seguir todos los pasos hasta que queda funcionando sin problemas.
Debo decir que la velocidad se sacrifica un poco, pero con 100Mbps de subida y bajada para mis necesidades y de mi familia es suficiente.
Actualizacin (Ago 2021): Luego de hablar con el telfono de Servicio al Cliente de Netgear todo mejor. Ellos me ayudaron, hicimos unos cambios al DNS y ahora la velocidad vuela. Sin problemas ha llegado a la misma velocidad que entrega el router del proveedor: 700 Mbps
Simple to install, great wifi coverage in 4 bedroom house with no black spots – wish I’d bought one of these earlier.
Got to replace Nighthawk router that wasn’t reaching corners of apartment due to very thick walls. Very easy to setup and after some repositioning of the units have 100% signal in all parts.
Have 24 items connected with no problems and my wi-fi 6 laptop zips along. Very happy!
Absolutely fantastic, not had no breaking up of all my three camera’s or online on my ps5.
First mesh WiFi I have ever owned wish I had moved over to this sooner. Fantastic product giving me amazing speeds all over the bungalow and into our garden. 5* product well worst buying.
Great product works exactly as advertised. Use it as a wired access point for my pc gaming rig. Works faster than the standard bt router and extender.
Copre bene un alloggio grande e giardino, anche se sole due bande non ho problemi a navigare in internet con il pc, guardare un film da amazon prime sul tv e avere altri devices collegati. Ma in due mesi ho dovuto spegnere e riaccendere il router per “resettare” il colegamento perso da uno dei due satelliti. Segnale wifi del singolo device non molto potente, si salvano perch sono tre. Ma un vecchio N55 asus ha un segnale pi potente (controllando dal giardino).
Used products for a better internet,value for money yes as it works !! Stability is grea
A great tool to have and no more Internet issues around the house
Does what it says on the tin. Seemless connection throughout. No random drop outs. Worth the upgrade.
Signal at last! Had so many blind spots which the Orbi has now corrected. Easy to install – even for a non-IT person like me.
So easy to install it’s unbelievable after the bother I’ve had with previous systems. I use it for Prime video and it is perfect.
The setup was easy enough to follow but took a few attempts to finally get the Orbi connected to the Internet but once I did I have not looked back! We’ve moved to a 3 story town house and wanted coverage on all floors. We initially tried the TP-LINK ECHO 4 but that got returned as it was only outputting 86mbps of our 350+maps. When I called the TP-LINK customer service line they told me that was normal as it only outputs a max of 100mbps even though the box said up 1800mbps. After returning the Echo 4 I decided on the Orbi system as I’d heard good things about it. I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. I’m now getting around 380+mbps throughout the house without loss of coverage. We even let our semi detached neighbours use our guest wifi (that was easy to set up) until they got their Internet sorted. And they had no connections issues at all. The coverage was that good! I would definitely recommend going for the better quality product over the cheaper Echo 4 unless your provider is giving you 100mbps or less.
Virgin Hub 4 in the corner of room which was hopeless for upstairs and knew there must be a better way. Repeaters were useless so started to explore MESH. Much research then took place and decided on the Netgear ORBI WiFi 6 system. Very nervous at first regarding installation but so, so easy. VM Hub into modem mode then turn it off and leave it for at least 5 minutes. Then follow instructions on the Netgear app and off we go. 10 – 15 minutes max and we now have strong reliable WiFi throughout the house which is fairly large, detached and brick built with thick walls.
Fantastic.
Ca fait un moment que j’ai voulu amliorer la qualit de connextion de mes appareils en Wi-Fi. L’installation de ce systme a t assez facile, en suivant les tapes dans l’appli.
A noter que, malgr le fait que le systme est “dual-band” (pas de bande ddie pour le backhaul), le dbit reste excellent (250 Mbps en Wi-Fi sur une connexion fibre de 300 Mbps). J’avais cabl un satellite en “filaire” (via CPL) au dbut, mais je me suis vite rendu compte que le dbit via CPL tait 40% du dbit en sans fil).
Piste d’amlioration: j’aimerais bien pouvoir liminer ma Livebox Orange. Ceci est possible avec d’autres versions Orbi, mais je n’ai pas pu trouver l’option avec celle-ci. Peut-tre avec une future mise jour du micrologiciel?
Zunchst vllt. Noch ein paar Worte zu meiner bisherigen Lsung. Ich habe das WLan der Fritzbox genutzt, die ich im Stromverteiler installiert ist. Um ein halbwegs ansprechendes Signal zu bekommen, waren zwei Repeater notwendig. Damit war es im Grunde aber auch nur ertrglich, denn es gab Blinde Ecken in der Wohnung in denen es kein oder nur ein sehr schlechtes Signal gab.
Doch dies ist nun Geschichte. Seit ich das Orbi Mesh WiFi 6 nutze gibt es echt keine Probleme mehr. Die Installation war Kinderlicht, die App lsst sich gut bedienen. Ich habe es erst nur mit dem Router probiert um Mal zu sehen wie es luft und wie das Ergebnis allein ist. Das war grundstzlich schon OK, aber ich habe mich dazu entschieden einen weiteren Satelliten hinzuzunehmen. Nun habe ich eine bestens aufgeleuchtete Wohnung und niemand kann sich mehr ber ein schlechtes Signal beschweren.
Ich bin rundum zufrieden, top Gerte, top WLAN und dazu sehen sie auch noch dekorativ aus. Was will man mehr?
Although not a large house, the positioning of the Virgin Router meant we had patchy Wi-Fi to the back of the house, having used Powerline (Ethernet over Power) for TV etc which worked reasonably well, using Phones, iPad etc was a pain. The Orbi has resolved that problem. The only issue I came across in setting up (apart from being patient and following each step in the set up process) was the rebooting of the Virgin Router! The new Virgin Router takes a good 5 mins to boot up and connect to Broadband and for Wi-Fi to work and this wait seems to cause the Orbi’s set up some problems, but waiting for it to do its thing paid off (rather than being impatient and interrupting the process). So allowing yourself time to set it up and not rushing the process seems the “order of the day”!
I got his on Amazon Prime day and Amazon Prime offer price of 159.99.
Had years of wi-fi issues with Virgin and had tried other cheaper boosters/mesh units but this one is the absolute daddy!! Use the hub 2 in modem mode and get 300-500mbps virtually anywhere in the house and even 150+ in the garden. Had issues at first with the satellite unit but netgear support was very professional and would recommend this to anyone.
Excellent product. Was easy to install using the app on my phone and works very well in improving the WiFi signal that I had from virgin media. Signal was non-existent before and was driving me totally mad. A friend suggested these and while a bit expensive they are very good and exceptionally reliable. Very happy .
Set up for a garden office and a much better alternative to running a Ethernet cable. Range is impressive but the signal has dropped out a couple of times when on a zoom call. On the whole very happy with i
It has improved my WiFi signa performancel ,whereas with BT router I was getting inconsistent speeds the orbi gives consistent high speeds.
We’ve struggled to get good signal in our house for over 15 yrs and it wasn’t until someone recommended Netgear Orbi Mesh that I took notice. I have installed, and the signal is magnificent together with download speeds I have only dreamt about. Most devices connected easily but Sky was a bit trickier but all now working well. I would highly recommend this product!
Easy to set up and so much better than my BT Halo router!
Was getting around 250Mbps and now with the Orbi on Wifi6 I’m getting over 600Mbps!
We have Virgin Media 300mb fibre and we’ve been consistently getting that speed over WiFi since installing the mesh. We have a lot of devices (Google home, smart plugs etc) and now we never have issues with disconnecting.
Ran into some issues during installation where we got a ‘no Internet connection’ despite the WiFi working. This was caused by the virgin TV box still being plugged into the virgin modem and once unplugged everything went very smoothly!
Para poneros en situacin: mi casa tiene forma de “L”, y tengo el router en el extremo del palito corto de la L. Y tengo 1GB de Movistar. Pues con estos dispositivos consigo una velocidad mnima de 90/100 MB en toda la casa, incluso en los dispositivos ms alejados de los satlites (como es el caso del PC, de ah la captura que os dejo).
Facilsimo de instalar y configurar siguiendo las indicaciones de la web.
Eso s, yo inicialmente compr uno adicional y lo devolv porque me creaba alguna especie de interferencia que haca que, precisamente donde tengo el PC, a veces cayese la conexin (no en el resto de la casa). Quit el satlite aadido, dej los tres que venan de serie y funciona perfectamente.
With the sudden demand in internet speed and more connected devices since last year(online classes, TV media over internet, work from home etc), I was struggling for stable internet connectivity around my 2000 sqft apartment(with longish passage separating living, and study/bedrooms. I upgraded Internet speed , experimented router combinations with power line adaptors /wifi extenders etc still the demand was not being met.
I was skeptical about the “mesh” systems with my experience with “extenders” which many times I found unreliable and required frequent “syncing”. However, I went ahead with NETGEAR ORBI 352, router and satellite installed at either ends of the passage, replacing old routers, and extenders scattered around the house. The improvement was dramatic, now internet connection and speed available across the apartment is very even and stable, and also having to deal with only one SSID all around the apartment !. I believe it is possible to interconnect the ORBI router and Satellite over Ethernet cable so more capacity can be freed up for connected devices. This completely serves my purpose and should be fairly future proof and good for speeds upto 1Gbps.
As for my experience in the past one week
Performance ,Coverage, availability and stability of connection is excellent.
Installation was very easy and was up and running in the first attempt.
There was however an issue with speed test which showed only 100 mbps whereas my connection was 300mbps.The problem was resolved within minutes through NETGEAR app chat support , the culprit was the old cable between my modem and ORBI router. This was systematically identified by Netgear’s support engineer( please note this was at 630am in the morning, and you deal with real people and not “chatbots” sending you automated elimination answers)
easy to set up and has fixed my black spot issue. used with virgin broadband and switched their modem to modem mode
Our house is old, with thick walls and a large footprint. The router is at one end of the house and getting wifi to all parts of the house using a repeater was problematic – especially now we’re working from home.
The Orbi was simple to set up and throws a good signal through the whole house AND into the garden – fantastic!
I have this router 2 weeks ago and it is worth every penny. I giving 5 star to this wifi router.
Having splashed the cash for this, we were disappointed initially when a box was dumped on our doorstep, clearly already opened, damaged and taped up, so we returned it. The replacement met all our expectations: easy to setup and a dramatic improvement to our wifi speeds in our spreadout house (from ~ 1mbps to ~50 mbps), as well as better security. It has remained stable after resetting our original router into modem-only mode.
Installing the Orbi Mesh system has completely changed the frustrating relationship I used to have with my WiFi to a confident, fast, secure and controllable relationship. By far the best upgrade I have ever made to my home wifi. Both indoors and outdoors connections are strong.
Installing it is a bit complex because the app sometimes behave randomly.
Once setup is done, it works like a breeze. Make sure you buy 12v router backup power supply which gives you uninterrupted internet when power cut happens. You need one for each endpoint.
I got it because I already have 14 wifi devices (laptops, phones, tv, xbox, watch, tablets) connecting to my previous router. This was causing speed drop and internet fluctuations.
Pros:
1. Great wifi coverage. Covers my 1800sq ft 3 bhk completely with zero blind spot, even in balconies and outside the main door.
2. Future proof. With wifi 6 and option to add satellites later, you dont to buy any other router as long as this works fine. When moving to a bigger house, simply buy an extra satellite.
3. Single wifi name for entire house. No separate 5ghz and 2.4ghz wifi or a separate extender wifi name. You get one wifi that works across the house. Devices connect automatically to 2.4/5ghz based on their compatibility. You can be on a video call and can roam across the entire house, your phone will automatically connect to the nearest satellite without breaking connection.
4. Works great with IoT devices like vaccuum robot, alexa etc especially if you move them around the house.
5. Same speed across the whole house. No drop in wifi signal based on your connectivity. Using this with Act Internet in Bangalore.
Cons:
1. Expensive. Spending 18k on a wifi system for home doesn’t make sense. You can probably get the same thing with 2 cheap routers if you can live with separate wifi names.
2. Extra satellites are costly if you buy them later.
Used to replace my Google WiFi kit as I needed additional functionality and controls that where not supported by Google. Simple to set up including Dyn DNS and VPN. Rock solid wifi through out the house with no black spots, I now have wifi at the bottom on the garden!
Bought this to both extend the wi-fi range and cope with the number of devices often being used at the same time. So far so good, not had any connectivity issues and now have wi-fi in the garden 🙂
Fixed all the dead WiFi spots in the house. Full strong signal everywhere
Very easy to set up and you would be astounded by the vast improvement in WiFi reception around a house of 4 bedrooms including loft conversion. No more complaints about the providers hub wifi signal. Just for the MS Teams reception has improved, video and audio streaming is now a revelation. We have about 20 devices connected from laptop, smart TV , set top boxes, Ring, tablets etc…
Spent some time researching this beforehand as WiFi kept giving up during the working day including in the middle of important Teams meetings. Whilst set up was a little challenging everything is now working brilliantly and coverage is excellent. Not one drop out! Very pleased and well worth the money if you find yourselves working from home now!
Easy to install in few minutes.Excellent wifi signal , no dead spot.
Very easy to setup and have had faultless internet in the 2 weeks since install. Took a little time to find the best placement for the satellites but very happy with range and overall operation.
Lightening fast WiFi across the house. Easy to set up.
After years of WiFi issues, this made me realise the routers often provided by broadband companies are inferior (they give them out free I guess). No issues at all, easy to use app. Would not go back to any of the major broadband providers’ routers ever again!
Has made a massive difference – now get full speed all over house, decking and garage. Quite a neat piece of kit not obtrusive at all. Very useful Ethernet ports on router and satellites. The system does exactly what I needed – would definitely recommend.
I Bought this as my old router kept getting slower and sometimes didn’t work . After buying the netgear orbi which was so easy to set up I’ve never looked back , my internet speeds now are through the roof all over the house and even outside, I would recommend this product 110%
Isn’t compatible with an old Windows 10 laptop but otherwise it’s easy to install it took me 10 minutes, if that.
It provides a fast and stable wifi connection even with multiple users. The signal goes though thick walls and to previous dead spots.
Much better than anticipated. Finally wifi lives up to its promise.
Strongly recommended if you have slow or unstable wifi.
stunning wifi in the home now and super fast with the wifi 6
easy to setup just download the app and off you go.
very happy
With a background in networking over the years, I’ve tried several ways to deliver complete, consistent network coverage across the home. From repositioning the router to extenders, it was with relief mesh systems came onto the market. And none are as robust and easy to implement and use than this WiFi 6 implementation from Netgear. Oh, for sure, you would expect this from a well known brand, but I have tried similar household names and those brands could learn a thing or two about (1) what easy setup really means, (2) install and forget, leaving you to enjoy your Internet, and (3) being feature-rich for genuinely useful capabilities that actually help (versus bloatware). All in all, I am glad, after carefully researching mesh WiFi 6 routers, that I arrived at this one. With increased usage by the family in this digital age, having a secure, trusted network installed means it’s one less thing to worry about! Thanks Netgear.
Perfecto para el uso que preciso.
Instalado en una casa de garaje en bajos, vivienda en plantas primera y segunda y buhardilla. El router principal est en la buhardilla, un satlite en la planta segunda y el otro satlite en planta primera.
Tengo contratados 600 megas, que son los que da el router principal. En la planta segunda, la velocidad oscila entre 350 y 280 megas, segn el punto. En la planta primera, la velocidad oscila de 230 a 180 megas segn la situacin. Y en la planta baja y patio trasero an tenemos unos ms que decentes 50 a 80 megas. Lo que si hay que hacer es varias pruebas de ubicacin de los satlites, hasta obtener el resultado ptimo.
La estabilidad del sistema es total. No he registrado ningn corte desde la instalacin. Tampoco he registrado ningn conflicto de IP ni de otra ndole entre dispositivos y la Red. Por trmino medio suelen est conectados doce dispositivos en la Red.
La instalacin es muy sencilla. nicamente requiere la instalacin de la aplicacin en el mvil y seguir los pasos que indica la misma. Es prcticamente plug & play.
Producto totalmente recomendable a nivel de hogar.
This Mesh system is the best one I have bought I had a TpLink before this 1 and I must say this smashes it in everyway the speeds are constant they don’t drop it is extremely strong and also the app is very good it alerts you when new devices connected and when there are security threats to the network. I highly recconend this it is worth the price! You will not be disappointed trust me!
Got the router and one satellite system. Easy to setup, just download the app and it walks you through it. Took 30 minuets to setup and connect 2 laptops, 3 echos, 2 kindles, 3 smart lights, 1 Nintendo switch and 1 TV. Great WiFi signal strength with no dropouts. Also set up a guest network for future visitors. All in all a very good mesh system
I can’t believe how easy it was to setup, and my WiFi mesh is now all over the house and faster than before.
like many had numerous issues with Virgin wifi with both hub2 and hub3 . on a 600mb contract and could only get near that when next to router. bedrooms lowered speed.by 80% and loft only occasionally got a signal.
brought after research and reviews on amazon.
easy to set up and now have good coverage around the house and in the garden.
I would.question the speed test on the orbi app – supported by speedtest but when you run on app the speeds are maxed out when you run the same test on speedtest.net speed are not as good
took a while for home plugs to work/connect and stangely WiFi is twice as quick as wired
all the teenagers in the house are happy as their online gaming ‘pings’ are good
fully recommended
Fixed my virgin media by switching the VM Hub to modem mode, plugged this in and now I can get the speed I pay for. Easy to set up.
Una maravilla este producto,media casa viva sin wifi y ahora hasta en el ltimo rincn a tope.
La red mesh adems es algo comodsimo,que cualquier aparato se conecte automticamente a 2,4 o a 5 es la leche sobre todo cuando se est domotizando una casa como es mi caso (es un rollo tener que estar pendiente de a qu red conectarse).
En mi caso he convertido el Mitrastar en Bridge (solo para internet,TV y tlf sigue con las vlan de Movistar)y me va todo como un tiro.
Es un producto un poco caro an consiguindolo con una oferta como yo en que lo saque por 200 euros pero desde luego merece ms la pena que gastarse 70 o 100 en un amplificador y que luego no sirva.
Una gran compra que tendra que haber hecho antes.
El envo perfecto de tiempo y con solo un pequeo desperfecto por un golpe en la caja que no a afectado al producto
I needed this because I was fed up with the Virgin media superhub 3 constantly giving problems to wi-fi and streaming.
I checked out out on Google and there were many people with the same issue and they recommended this mesh.
With wi-fi 6 capability it is constant and I now find that I get the speed that I pay for which is 500mbs though the mesh shows 550mps.
Easy to set up from the app just had to change the superhub to modem only.
I spent a fair while debating with myself about buying this product as it’s not that cheap – I now wish I had done it ages ago as it has transformed the performance of the always awful Virgin Media Superhub. This is not super in anyway and never has been – unless super rubbish is what they mean.
The Orbi app made set-up easy and we have multiple devices working faultlessly across the network with two satellites. It even stretches out to work well in the garage which isn’t attached to the house.
Two happy gaming teenagers make this worth the price alone. No more moaning and hopefully they can use slightly less phone data now they can get their phones to work on wifi in the house.
Best purchase I have made in a long time.
Usual story: had a virgin router – it was bl00dy awful, worse than the previous one (and that one wasn’t great) . As soon as you leave the room with the router the signal is lost completely. After sheer frustration, I forked out this relatively huge sum for the Orbi. It’s completely solved the problem (so it should for that price!). I can now get WiFi all over the house and even at the back of the garden. I’ve had extenders before, but even when they weren’t flakey (which was rare), it was a real pain manually switching between access points. Tried the renaming SSID trick, but that just caused more problems than it was worth. The mesh aspect of this router solves that problem. It now seamlessly connects to the satellite when I move around.
Yes, they’re expensive, but if you live in an old house and are sick of WiFi issues due to thick walls etc, these may well solve your problem.
Brilliant product, increased my wifi reliability and speed from 2mb specifically upstairs to 400+mb across all rooms upstairs.
New VM 350mbps service, Superhub had limited coverage and rapid drop-off with wireless performance. Put VM kit into modem mode and connected Orbi via Netgear GS305 5 port switch for local ethernet connection, positioned new hub and satellite on different floors – now have fast coverage throughout house
Soy Informtico con ms de 30 aos de experiencia como programador y he tenido la suerte de ver la evolucin de las redes de ordenadores, primero almbricas y luego inalmbricas, y este sistema es, por mucho, el mejor y ms sencillo que he tenido. La instalacin ha sido una pasada, me refiero a que fue instalar la app, seguir las instrucciones y arreglado, todo funcionando y en condiciones. Lo nico que tuve que hacer adicional fue apagar el wifi en la ONT del PSI y guardar el repetidor tp-link que tena que reiniciar hasta 5 veces al da. Ahora ni me acuerdo de la red, todo funciona a la perfeccin, sin retrasos y con una velocidad que antes no tena. Me refiero a que en casa se usan los mviles, la Smart TV y los ordenadores a la vez y nadie se da cuenta que los dems tambin estn usando el internet. Se acab el: “Vas a tener que hacer algo con el Internet, se me ha cado de nuevo” o el “Se me ha colgado el juego en el mejor momento”. En serio, este sistema ha valido cada cntimo que he pagado por l. Gracias Netgear!
Really good. I hace wifi in my 3 flores house. Impresive.
I decided to buy this as I recently moved to a 3BHK flat and my old Google WiFi router (which served me so well all these years) was just not good enough to cover the entire space even though the router was centrally placed.
For future proofing I wanted to invest in WiFi 6 (802.11ax) and ORBI was always my favourite due to its rave reviews by almost all the reviewers worldwide. But the price of higher bandwidth mesh routers (RBK850, RBK750) was a major deterrent as I felt that I would never use such high internet speeds in India.
Thankfully ORBI came up with ax1800 with affordable price tag which serves the need of people like us who don’t expect to use speeds north of 1gbps in the near future. We don’t need ax4200 or ax6000 for the speeds we get in India though I miss the extra band they have for wireless backhaul which this router lacks. Again this is not a major deterrent considering I use Airtel 300mbps connection which leaves enough bandwidth for backhaul in the 5ghz band.
I recently bought an iPhone 12 and a Mac mini m1 and other family members also use multiple WiFi 6 enabled devices which makes this router upgrade worth the effort and money. WiFi 6 is a major upgrade over WiFi 5 and the Internet stability in terms of bandwidth allocation and wall penetration is excellent. Since these WiFi standards upgrade are so infrequent(WiFi 5 was released in 2014) that it would be wise to invest in a new router early to maximise the potential benefit.
Installation of the router and satellite was pretty straight forward. I am getting a speed of 120 mbps in my study room which is farthest from the main router with multiple brick walls between the router and my mac mini. I was getting 4-5 mbps earlier with google WiFi which resulted in multiple dropped calls on WebEx, zoom and work from home sessions disruptions. Also since we use WiFi calling for even normal mobile calls, I would often walk in the WiFi dead zones while talking which would result in call drops as well. This was extremely frustrating considering I was paying for 300mbps. Now it’s all fine with seamless coverage and acceptable internet speeds at spots which otherwise came under dead zones.
Finally the most important thing is the price you are paying for your stuff. I always keep a thumb rule of comparing the price at which the product is being offered in US vs India. I would rather buy a Philips fidelio soundbar than go for Bose soundbars because both are in the same segment in US but here in India Bose is 3x expensive which makes no sense as effectively you are not paying for the product but import services and customs. I believe US is the benchmark market where all the products are listed at their fair price and I would go for the products which are closest to their fair price in India assuming similar performance and ratings.
ORBI is fantastically (maybe because it’s made in Thailand) priced in India, even though it looks expensive. It’s US retail tag is at par (if not more) with the Indian price tag which is certainly not the case with other WiFi 6 mesh routers present in the market currently.
I bought a pair of ORBI stand on Amazon for Rs 1900. Since RBK350 is a new model, it’s not listed on supported routers for the stand but rest assured that it will fit properly.
Router comes with a satellite and two power adapters with US and Europe Dongles for plugging it in.
I was a bit dubious about these working and I didn’t see many reviews to go by either… so I took a risk and ordered at a good price.
After arriving the setup was easy using the app and installed in no time. Straight away we had a massive improvement in Wi-Fi across the house. So much so that I don’t hear a peep from my teenage daughters now about not being able to connect. I’m also getting Wi-Fi 6 on my phone now. Units look neat and modern too.
Overall a great buy with great connectivity.
This product is slim and and has a nice look with easy installation and setup as well as good wi-fi signal and ethernet connectivity for non-wi-fi equipment well worth the money
Brought this to replace my old nighthawk router which was showing it’s age and was using the net gear plug in extenders and WiFi was very poor all over the house.
I decided on the 3 box( 1 router and two satellites) setup and what a difference speed all around the house is full bars, fire stick connect is excellent, old setup kept loosing connection or poor signal.
Highly recommend , I’m using virgin media v3 hub with mine
So simple to setup, just follow the instructions in the app, it takes less than 10 minutes. Once done, that’s it, you just forget about it as it just works! I now have WiFi all over my house, garden and drive. Super easy, super effective. Wish I’d bought this months ago.
We live in a 3-storey townhouse and our previous ISP-issued modem router didn’t have the range to offer a reliable connection for devices on the top floor. We bought the RBK352 because of its second satellite, WiFi 6 support and stylish design. We’ve placed the satellite in our lounge in the second floor and it has transformed WiFi coverage – video and radio streaming is now smooth with no dropouts or buffering, and we get full-strength reception throughout the whole house and into our garden. It was easy to install though don’t forget you’ll still need a modem for the router to connect to. I appreciate the Gigabit Ethernet ports so I can connect my desktop PC for gaming and work for an ultra reliable connection. The app is surprisingly good with lots of usage stats and an easy interface. We like the design as well which blends in whilst obviously also being effective. Really happy with it and have also recommended on the retailer’s site we bought it from!
An essential. We had virgin 500 and couldn’t get the wood further than about 5 feet from
The router. It cut out continuously and we had numerous engineers around with no success. Since getting the Mesh system, the change has been phenomenal. Consistent and fast all over the house and out to the end of the garden, no buffering or issues with smart devices, no rebooting and that’s been for the last month.
***If you have Virgin and can’t get it to work consistently it is the hub! Knock it in to modem mode and invest in this.***
The overall performance of the network is very good and strong signal in all parts of the house and having one WiFi SID for both 2.4G and 5G networks and letting the devices connect to the appropriate one. Said supported WiFi 6 at up to 1201Mbps and it does do that. Very good and pleased with the system and good value for money.
Easy to install and offered reach right down to the garden. No messing with loads of wires and the signal is robust.
Muy buen producto. Magnfica velocidad y sin ningn corte en la transmisin. Facil de instalar. Pero, si tiene Movistar y fusin tendr internet, pero no podr ver la televisin por esta via. As, primero deber darse de alta en la app Orbi netgear. Aqu crear la contrasea para el usuario admin y efectuar la instalacin. Despus en un PC conectese a orbilogin.com. Identifiquese como admin y la contrasea que cre. Seleccione: Avanzado y Modo AP/router. Aqu indique modo AP y en la siguiente pantalla tome la opcin recomendada. As, ya podr ver los programas de televisin de Movistar/fusin.
It does the job it says and very easy to instal – overall very pleased with this product.
Je voulais viter les applis de config sur les tlphones ( l’ancienne, je ne fais pas confiance… d’autant que je ne trouve pas du tout rglo certains concurrents qui obligent de crer un compte pour faire la config… a sent pas bon ct Data) et comme son habitude Netgear possde toujours une interface web de config accessible via le navigateur orbilogin.com crire directement la place de http://… dans laquelle il existe des tas de fonctions (sauvegarde des paramtres que l’on peut enregistrer sur son PC, par exemple et …).
Cela m’a pris environ 2 heures (tout compris pour dballer, installer et peaufiner les rglages) et plus de 15 appareils connecter.
J’ai lu qques min en config… mouais, c’est un peu exagr. Cependant, c’est trs facile, et cela faisait longtemps que tout n’avait pas t aussi simple.
D’un point de vue design, le blanc mat est trs Quali !
Trs content de l’achat et tout marche extrmement bien!
I’d been looking for mesh for a while and a move to Virgin cable was the trigger. The Orbi is now doing all the wired and wireless network work with the Virgin hub in router only mode.
Wi-fi signal is excellent once you have had a play with optimum locations, consider hard wiring the satellites if you can. The Wi-fi speeds are pretty good, especially from the base unit, the satellites too if they are wired or on 5ghz backhaul to base.
The app is great, it becomes addictive doing the inbuilt speed test and looking at the network map!
Beware, it’s impossible to buy a separate satellite later so far.
Bought this to solve wifi reach and speed due to brick walls and virgin router being at the opposite corner of the house to many key TVs, laptops, etc. Result – I am now getting 70-80Mb of my 100Mb service even at the furthest corner of the house. Money well spent!!
Easy to set up, no more dead spots. Easily copes with the ever increasing number of WiFi gadgets around our home, even got WiFi at the bottom of the garden now
Hai internet veloce in tutti gli angoli della casa, migliore del precedente NIGHTHAWK che si e’ rotto (non vedeva piu’ il satellite) e ho fatto il reso, scalda meno o dissipa di piu’, la luce led NON resta sempre accesa che di notte nelle camere dava fastidio nel precedente Nighthawk e per ora ce l’ho da 1 mese tutto ok, unica seccatura piccola se lasci le notifiche sullo smartphone e che ad ogni connessione di un sito nuovo ti manda avviso di pericolo, forse voglion vendere anche BITDEFENDER che propongono … comunque un buon prodotto, oltre 200 mq2 di copertura con base e 1 satellite !
I have issues with internal walls blocking WiFi, and with working from home and lots of internet enabled devices – I have seen capacity and stability issues.
This has solved them all with a constant and stable connection that provides speeds beyond what my internet connection can even supply!
Definitely recommend!
Great bit of kit . Gives me complete control and know what is happening all the time . Signal is great all over the house . Top coverage and speeds to match
Excellent, simple set up, great coverage and much improved speeds from garage to garden…
Much better than expected. No drop outs on zoom calls and can listen to vinyl through Sonos without interruption. Signal speed went from an average of 10 mbps to c300 mbps. Great result.
Ho acquistato questo kit RBK352 per sostituire il router del mio operatore. Una volta collegato allla terminazione ottica ONT fornita dal mio provider, mi sono collegato all’interfaccia di configurazione e ho inserito i dati di accesso e l’ID VLAN forniti dal mio provider internet. Una volta fatto ci, il router ha stabilito correttamente la connessione internet. Ho dunque proceduto, tramite l’app Orbi, ad associare anche il satellite RBS350 (incluso nel kit RBK352). Avendo una rete LAN in casa (che ho connesso ad una delle 4 porte ethernet del router Orbi) ho deciso di collegare il satellite appunto tramite LAN, in modo che la connessione tra RBR350 e RBS350 fosse diretta e senza interferenze. La copertura WiFi eccezionale, la rete copre tutta la mia casa e arriva anche in giardino. L’unica pecca che la velocit WiFi 5 GHz per i dispositivi WiFi 5, probabilmente per un bug software, limitata a 150-160 Mbps. Se invece viene usato un dispositivo con WiFi 6, allora questo problema non si presenta affatto e si raggiungono velocit pi elevate. visto che il prodotto appena uscito (e non ha ancora ricevuto aggiornamenti), probabilmente Netgear risolver il problema della rete 5 GHz limitata a 160 Mbps nei dispositivi WiFi 5. Se si hanno problemi WiFi, questo un prodotto da comprare!
echnisch ist das Produkt was es verspricht, gute Abdeckung und sehr stabil!
Was mich dabei strt ist die Tatsache das hier Trittbrettfahrer zustzlich Geld verdienen wollen. Bitdefender ist fest in die Software integriert und es ist ein Abo fllig wenn man es nutzen will, es ist keine Schnittstelle zu anderen Antivirenprodukten Anbietern vorhanden. Die Idee ist gut aber die Umsetzung ist somit schlecht gelungen.
Das gleiche gilt fr VPN, wird dieses aktiviert muss ein DDNS Anbieter aktiviert werden, dieser ist ebenfalls fest im System vorbelegt und nach 14 Tagen wird bei NO-IP ein Abo fllig obwohl es eine “mynetgear,com” Domne ist. Keine Hinweise bei der Einrichtung! VPN allerdings funktioniert sehr gut und ist sehr einfach einzurichten, nur DDNS sollte man auf einem anderen Gert aktivieren.
Htte ich das alles bei der Kaufentscheidung gewusst, dann wre es vermutlich ein anderes Mesh Gert eines anderen Anbieters geworden!, ich habe leider nur auf die technischen Daten geachtet und das ist es gut.
Warum eine so groe Firma wie Netgear sich auf solche “versteckten” Geschfte einlt ist mir nicht klar und dmpft meine sonst so gute Meinung ber diesen Hersteller.
Ich habe keines der Abos abgeschlossen und nutze nun das Gert mit “hohem Sicherheitsrisiko”, wie Bitdefender meint.
Orbi RBK352 was simple to install and configure and gives much better wifi coverage to whole house
Bought the Orbi RBR350 + 2x RBS350 as I had poor coverage from my VM HUB3.0 in my 3bed semi-detached. I now get my full 200MB/s throughout my home. Great bit of kit and great, simple to use iOS app.
Great product, gives reliable coverage to the whole house. Would be great if the iOS app gave better indication of the relative signal strenght for placing the remotes.
Simple to install the Orbi system has given us high speed internet all over our property as well as extending to the garden. Tried another mesh system before this one and this is definitely more solid. Quality build and a straight forward app. Recommend!
This has transformed our virgin wifi. Laptop was constantly loosing connection, multiple areas with no coverage. Now minimal drop outs and fast broadband throughout the house.
Really happy it’s made our internet connection and WiFi distribution much better. Very simply to install. Highly recommended.
Purchased this WiFi 6, 2 node mesh system for our 4 bed house. We have lots of devices and smart devices. This mush does the trick, great signal in all rooms, outdoors, driveway and garden. 4k streaming to the TV as well via the wired connection from the satellite mesh (router / Ftth is upstairs). Just needs IGMP enabling if using with a BT Home Hub.
My orbi mesh system is linked to my 5g router and give very strong WiFi throughout my large 5 bedroom victoriana house and out into the garden Great piece of ki
With the new Netgear Orbi I have a consistently higher broadband speed. Very easy to change the SSID and password for reconnecting any smart switches etc.
I’ll keep it short and sweet. Had loads of dead spots in our house for sometime but we lived with it.
Our property covers 2594 sqft, Since buying the Orbi we now have 100% complete coverage in every room with speeds of 100mbps in all bar one room. Only had it for a day but so far completely sold on this product and would recommend. Installation was very simple also. even i could do it.
Zuvor hatte ich ein kleineres (RBK13) Orbi System das hin und wieder die Verbindung zum Internet (trotz bestehender WLAN Verbindung, warum auch immer) verloren hat. Mit dem RBR353 ist das deutlich besser, zudem es bessere LAN-Anschlussmglichkeiten bietet. WLAN Abdeckung im bei gleicher Satellitenposition ist ebenfalls deutlich besser.
Performance kann ich nicht objektiv beurteilen, mit ca. 5-8 Gerten (Smartphone, Notebook, NAS, TV, Drucker) und einer 50er DSL Leitung gab es keine Beeintrchtigungen der WLAN / LAN Leistung und alles funktioniert wie gewnscht.
After lots of research on mesh devices, I decided this one was the one to get, also as it comes with Wifi 6, it was a little future-proofing for products we buy later on. After receiving the product, the setup was fast and seamless. I was getting internet dropouts constantly every few minutes and couldn’t even have a video call. Now, I get the max speed of the internet, both down and up, and a consistent connection. I highly recommend and would instantly buy this again if we ever needed another.
Habe bei Amazon bestellt und die Ware schnell erhalten. Ausgepackt und das App downladen die Einrichtung war sehr leicht und auch der Geschwindigkeitszuwachs in den entlegensten Winkeln meiner Wohnung war sehr deutlich schneller. ich kann dieses Mesh nur empfehlen. Jetzt habe ich in meinem Bro volle Internetgeschwindigkeit und auch beim Kopieren einzelne Dateien im Netzwerk geht es schneller als vorher. 4K Filme kann man streamen ohne ruckeln. Fr mich eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
ottimo il software, con anche la possibilit di scaricare bit defender antivirus su varie macchine o smartphone e tablet, pagando ovviamente un abbonamento, ma compreso anche l’antivirus residente nei dispositivi mesh, che bloccano sul nascere virus e malware in genere prima che arrivino al computer.
L’unico problema che ho avuto da quando l’ho acquistato che per 2 volte si sconnesso, e dopo un po di prove si riconnesso.
About as quick as WiFi gets – consistent 500+MB speeds to multiple devices, my iPhone 11 will almost hit 700MB. Super easy to set up, works without a hitch
The wifi signal was great all around my house and even got 50mbps in the garden!
Cela fait peu de temps que je l’ai install mais tout fonctionne parfaitement. Je suis assez impressionn, notre maison est en pierre avec des murs de 55 cm + cloisons en briques pour un total de 85cm, ce qui fait qu’en dehors du salon o se trouve notre box on avait pas accs internet. Depuis l’installation du systme Orbi j’ai bien accs au wifi dans toutes les pices (environ 250m2 au sol, avec un tage), le signal va jusque dans les chambres qui se trouvent plus de 20m du salon spares par deux murs de pierres plus des cloisons en briques et des cloisons en parpaings. Le dbit n’est pas incroyable mais c’est parce que l’on est encore en ADSL pour le moment.
L’installation est extrmement simple, il suffit de tlcharger l’application, et part dfinir un nom de rseau et un mot de passe on a juste a appuyer sur “continuer”, difficile de faire plus facile.
This system is great, easy to install & the speed every where is incredible. Would highly recommend
