Orbi The Bes
After lot of deliberation, research and reviews, I ordered this router-satellite pair for my home use(1800+ sqft) considering the number of rooms(5) and the intermittent walls(up to 4).
Since I have a high parallel usage with 10-12 devices connected simultaneously including 4 Laptops, 6 Mobiles, 2 TVs(4K).
It is easy to set-up with the Orbi App. I have not experienced any issues while multiple devices being connected.
Pros:
– Works on latest technology WiFi 6 (802.11ax) with sufficient throughput for domestic use
– Easy to set up manual/handout – Equipped with sync button for quick sync
– Aesthetic and sleek design which fits well in any of your rooms.
– User friendly app for quick configuration
– Control connectivity to any connected devices
– Comes with a Guest WiFi option for your guests
– Comes with compatible plugs for EU and Non-EU regions
Cons:
– Costly for those who look for economical options
– Comes with limited version for Armor (internet security) compared to others which offer lifetime security with no additional cost
– Doesn’t come with a stand for wall mount which need to be bought separately
– Power Adaptor could have been more sleek to hide behind the router with standard socket size.
– Less indicators to know the status of connection to internet and connected satellite compared to conventional routers with lot of indicators.
Easy to set up system
I had bought an Asus triband but one of the units broke. It happens but the difference in the ease of set up between the two is night and day. Orbi was very easy, through a great app, to set up and install the system. The app is intuitive, gives you lots of info and easy to install and use. I’d recommend Orbi to anyone. Very happy so far with the purchase. Coverage is great in my home and garden now.
One for the grandparents 😀
Quite possibly the easiest network setup ever, something I would be happy to post to the grandparents as they would be able to get it working on their own. The performance throughout the house is excellent and it has removed all black and slow spots. The security elements and remote access are excellent features. Highly recommended
Superb Mesh Wifi
I recently installed the NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Dual Band Mesh WiFi 6 System in our 4 bedroom property. It’s set over a number of floors and had a lot of dead areas. This has now completely fixed the Wi-Fi coverage so we have it everywhere, in the basement and even out into the garden area. I also like the feature where there’s vulnerability scans on all devices that connect to it, added to the fact that it’s easy to connect to the original Wi-Fi network so there’s no need for changing usernames and passwords and all devices automatically connected to the new mesh without issue.
sehr stabile Verbindung
Sie mssen vorsichtig sein, wenn Sie dieses Gert mit einem bestehenden Router (z.B. Vodafone) verwenden wollen, weil DCHP. Ansonsten ist die WLAN-Abdeckung sehr stabil und die Geschwindigkeit ist schnell. Ich kann sehr empfehlen, fr die Hausbesitzer, die schwaches WLAN-Signal Problem ha
Easy to set up and works reliably
We have a long thin house, which is difficult to cover with traditional MESH systems. This one uses a main router and two nodes. Excellent coverage, multiple devices work seamlessly, plenty of ethernet connection. The “sync” button is a little confusing but also works as WPS setup, so printers connected really easily (they were a pain to set up with my old Velop system). Overall great coverage, easy to set up. Love it.
Best home Wi-Fi ever!
I have the NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 6 router with 2 satellites. I get the same superfast download and upload speeds in my loft conversion office and at the end of my yard outdoors.
Back Online - Brillia
Works a treat to eliminate dead WiFi spots in most of my house.
Stopped me getting grief from the rest of the family so well worth i
easy and straightforward
love the fact it gave me house hold coverage great produc
Prices but worth every penny
I did some research on mesh systems that are useful for my use. I initially went with the TP link M9 plus system, which unfortunately was a big mistake. The system did improve my wifi, but was temperamental and I had a few issues with losing connectivity. I, therefore, decided to return it and get the netgear orbi which was nearly double the price. I am glad I did that. I never had any issues with it. Setting it up was easy and quick. My wifi is now strong and reliable. I highly recommend it.
Amazing Mesh WiFi System
Was left disappointed by other brands cheaper mesh WiFi systems. So finally went for RBK753. It has completely transformed our 4-bed 2-storied medium sized house. I may add that i have historically always struggled with WiFi speeds and had given up. This product has changed everything. I cant be more happier. I would suggest perhaps only thing that is not so good is app requires subscription for parental controls. Else on performance, its unmatched. I have no hesitation in recommending RBK75x series. Just go for it if you like me have given up on WiFi speeds !!
Great results and easy to set up with the Orbi App
No trouble setting up – including a Panasonic TV which usually sulks with anything new. We live in a long bungalow (80ft) and the router and 2 satellites are perfect. However, I’m glad I didn’t spend more for tri or quad band – quite unnecessary!
👍 Very Positive Experience 👌
I had a new Wi-Fi security camera system installed outside my home, and the internet signal it reached them was hectic.
I needed an internet mesh system for them to work. I did a research, and found that Orbi is “Which” recommendation
Then watched a few YouTube reviews & that pointed me to the same direction
I experienced a straight forward and easy installation, with step by step guidance. I worries it will call for a complicated setup. But NOPE. And so far it’s doing all it promises
Super debi
produit vraiment trs rapide avec un super dbit. Facile installe
Stabile non perde mai il segnale
Ho apprezzato la maggiore stabilit del segnale con Wi-Fi 6 quando sono agganciati i Device pi vari come accade oggi nelle nostre case. Di negativo non ho nulla da segnalare.
La connexion se coupe de temps en temps !
Sinon le signal wifi est trs puissant malgr la dizaine de produits connects dessus.
The product is easy to install, excellent quality signal is value for money.

Bello, stabile, qualche difficoltà nella configurazione
Il sistema bello e veramente stabile tra il router e il satellite che stavano a una distanza corretta per il sistema avevo praticamente la stessa velocit e il ping di quando sono connesso via cavo. Purtroppo l’altro satellite andava posizionato un p troppo oltre le possibilit di questo prodotto e quindi ho dovuto renderlo a causa di ci: credo che questo sia alla base dei problemi di configurazione iniziale che ho avuto. Avevo gi posizionato i satelliti e quello pi lontano creava delle difficolt nella operazione di associazione dei vari elementi. Dopo qualche tentativo tra pressioni dei pulsanti sync e posizionamento dei satelliti in zone “pi coperte” sono riuscito a collegare tutto correttamente ed a impostare i dispositivi in modalit access point lasciando al mio router di casa la “direzione” della rete.
L’applicazione carina e fornisce anche degli strumenti utili per capire la situazione della rete in modo abbastanza semplice e chiaro: soprattutto l’analyzer mi ha permesso di capire che la coperta era corta e che non mi avrebbe aiutato nei futuri upgrade di casa. Lo speedtest lo ho trovato un p furbetto perch dava sempre dei risultati relativi alla connessione del router Orbi al mio router di casa senza indicare da nessuna parte che il test non era riferito al satellite in cui ti connettevi.
Fabulous 200Mb Everywhere
We’ve been surviving with three separate access points in the house for years and poor signal in so many areas. Then ORBI 753 (AX4200) and now we have full broadband signal everywhere in the house – even under the bedclothes in my son’s top bedroom, which makes him very happy. An outstanding device and well worth the money.
Fantastic!!
Seriously amazing!! I’ve lived in a chalet bungalow and due to being a long building with very thick walls have never been able to get reliable WiFi to the whole house. I’ve had sky Q with various mini boxes that meant to create a mesh that never worked properly even when an engineer hardwired a mini box by running an Ethernet cable round the whole house. Even then there was lag and buffering and always had trouble getting strong signal to outdoor cameras and doorbell. I’ve used booster, powerline adapters and still rubbish.
So I took the plunge with the Orbi and I’m honestly blown away!! Now getting over 70mb in every room and even to the bottom of my garden. No drop outs when moving around the house on wifi calling as it just seamlessly switches. All my cameras work perfectly and I don’t hear the kids screaming at the PlayStation complaining about lag etc.
Honestly can’t recommend it enough!
I previously used a Wi-Fi extender to bring my router’s wireless coverage to the whole home but the performance was not what I craved. Installing the Orbi RBK352 instantly changed that into a very delightful, lag-free, no-dead-zone wireless connection. I had no problems setting it up with my existing router and the performance is really impressive. Areas of my home where I got 27Mbps earlier, I get around 180Mbps now (I have a 300Mbps connection). This is really a rich experience.

Powerful wifi mesh system
Orbi provides powerful and stable to the house, it cover well forom ground floor to upper floor. Strongly recommend to someone is looking for whole home mesh.
Excellent system
We were recommended this system as we have struggled with good wifi throughout our house. This system is easy to set up easy to use and gives excellent wifi throughout. Would recommend.
Buen funcionamiento general
Despus de algn tiempo usndolo, cumple con las expectativas. En mi casa de tres plantas a veces pierde la seal en algn satlite pero no sucede con frecuencia. De momento bastante contento con el el resultado. Lo recomendara
Excellent paramétrage facile derrière freebox POP
Je suis tonn des commentaires ngatifs j’ai la freebox pop et j’ai pass cette dernire en mode bridge j’ai activer le vlan sur le port 2 ou est brancher ma tl et tout fonctionne nickel….Mon pouse pensait qu’avec le wifi on captait plusieurs kilomtres ce qui est impossible donc mon premier commentaire est valable. C’est du bon matriel.
Transforms your Virgin wifi
Excellent system. I put our Virgin hub 3 into modem only mode and this mesh system has transformed our previously unreliable connection. It’s not cheap but we now get the stated speed from Virgin throughout the house without the intermittent signal.

Does what it says on the tin!
I wasn’t sure at first if this would deliver.. I was wrong! Firmed up my sketchy connections all over the house! Relatively easy to setup. I honestly couldn’t be happier. Well tells lie if it upped the speed to over 1GB I would have been absolutely elated
Buon wifi mesh ,ma non il top
Premetto che e’ il primo impianto mesh che uso, sicuramente comodo avere un wifi solo ben distribuito per tutte le camere , nel mio caso ho disattivato il wifi Tim , ed uso solo quello Netgear, velocita’ circa il 95% di quella del modem Tim , stabilita’ buona ,la usiamo per film in Streaming con vari smartphone e tv collegate contemporaneamente e non va in crisi, non va mai in tilt, i satelliti rimangono ben collegati, il difetto grave che ha e’ che non puoi decidere di disattivare il 2,4 o 5 gh ,fa tutto lui in automatico. La cosa diventa problematica quando (come nel mio caso)devi collegare ad esempio delle telecamere wifi che funzionano solo con il 2,4 gh, e non si collegano. Quindi per baipassare il problema ho dovuto attivare il wifi Guest(che si usa solitamente per ospiti) che funziona solo con il 2,4gh. Copertura ottima
Great produc
Great product, easy to install the app is easy to use. Would definitely recommend this product if your struggling with weak Wi-Fi or dead spots within the home.
Strong, stable mesh wifi
I bought the Orbi 353 to replace my BT Whole Home mesh system, which had been failing at inconvenient times. We have “fibre to the premises” so the mesh system was becoming the weak link. Installation was easy once the app was downloaded. The units are inconspicuous and easy to place. I found that three were entirely adequate to deliver 100mbs performance over the whole house (1950s four BR detached). This is one fewer than the BT system it replaced. I connected one to the router, of course, and the other two along the ground floor. This gives good strong signal in all bedrooms above and out into the garden. All in all, I am very pleased with this system, which so far has been excellent. If it remains as stable as it has been in the first week, it will have been a really great choice.
NETGEAR Orbi Wifi 6 Mesh RBK 353
acquistato per migliorare stabilit della ret WiFi e soprattutto per permettermi di muovermi tra i piani della casa anche durante riunioni telefoniche senza il problema di avere cambi di rete e cadute varie. I tre satelliti posizionati nei tre piani della casa (di circa 120mq) danno copertura eccellente nelle varie stanze (posizionando le antenne al centro dell’appartamento circa) e ad un mese dall’installazione sono molto soddisfatto. Installazione a prova di stupido seguendo le indicazioni dell’app, in pochi minuti sono riuscito a configurare tutta la casa.
Adesso ho buona copertura anche intorno alla casa, incluso buona parte del giardino e in garage. Decisamente soddisfatto in relazione alle mie esigenze.
Simply Work!
Easy to set up & manage using app. Performance so far has been faultless with virtually no loss of speed/signal
Full coverage
I used to struggle with spinning bezels on my TV and mobile devices using the standard virgin broadband router. This solved all my frustrations. I have excellent coverage in the whole house including the garden. The app is very intuitive making the setup very easy.
Fantastic
Excelent, wifi throughout house. The best feature is being able to change name to existing router which allows all of your existing devices to connect automatically without the need to reset.
Bonjour tous.
a fesait longtemps que je voulais commenter ce produit, et que je ne prenais pas le temps pour le faire. Donc voici mon avis.
Tout d’abord il faut savoir qu’il existe plusieurs packagings (1 metteur pour plusieurs rcepteurs). Moi j’ai pris le pack 1 metteur avec 1 recepteur car cela me suffit pour amliorer ma reception Wifi entre le bureau et le salon (ma box se situe dans mon salon, loin du bureau). Mes appareils sont en Wifi 5 mais sont compatibles avec le Netgear qui lui est en Wifi 6.
Les branchements sont assez simples et la connection ce fait aussi aisment via l’application. Le seul inconvnient est peut tre le prix un peu lev mais la qualit est l. Pour ma par je me suis tourn vers un modle reconditionn moins cher.
Pour vous rendre compte de l’amlioration de ma connection Wifi je vous joinds des capture d’cran de mes test.
Au revoir et trs bientt pour un nouveau commentaire.
RBK353
Just installed this Wifi-6 Mesh product to address Wifi blindspots in my house with the existing router and Wifi extender combination.
Installation was simple and well descibed in the documentation that came with the units. In addition Netgear sent a link by email to a YouTube video showing the steps.
Can thoroughly recommend the product. Where the bllindspot existed previously ( intermittent 1Mb/s) I now have access to the full 50 Mb/s delivered by my provide
Easy set-up, no dead spots.
The Orbi was extremely simple to set-up, the app does it all. We’ve struggled for ages with the bog standard kit that was supplied by Virgin. The Orbi had revolutionised the wifi in our home. No dead spots, no nagging kids, no game glitches. Seamless wifi everywhere. Not the cheapest on the market, but certainly worth the investment.
Problem solved
Wi-Fi coverage in our house has been poor for sometime. Tried a number of things but to no avail. Since installing the Orbi coverage is excellent throughout the house. Some problems setting it up but was eventually resolved with a long call to tech. desk.
Big speed improveme
Having installed the RBK353 system I was surprised by the significant increase in speed across the whole house. I assumed that as I had the latest Virgin router that my WiFi was as good as it could be but now I realise that much higher speed mesh WiFi systems can transform home WiFi
A great WiFi system at las
All my probems with WiFi coverage and speed disappeared the day I installed Orbi mesh. It’s an old house with many hard & thick walls, but now coverage is complete. The availablity of ethernet ports at three locations around the house has enabled me to put various bits of cable attached infrastructure out of sight. And the concept of a single network name with the system sorting out the speeds transperantly saves a lot of fiddling about switching networks. A great system, easy to install and it works well. It’s a shame that the associated secirty monitoring system comes with an ongoing subscription & I have yet to deside if I need it.

Cumple su funció
Compr Netgear Orbi porque me lo recomend un amigo, ya que los extensores de Wifi suelen fallar bastante. Me interesaba sobretodo la funcionalidad Mesh, ya que una de las habitaciones esta muy alejada del router. La configuracin es sencilla, por poner una pega, podra incluir un puerto USB.
Excelle
The reception is much better now with the multiple handsets. The app is really helpful.
It works like a charm.
I found nothing to dislike, I use it in the home.
Have been using this for a week now and simply i can say that i made the best investment. Design and looks wise it's cool and modern and elegant. Performance wise it's also great. I have Jio Fiber connection of 150Mbps and using this Mesh System i am easily getting 130-140Mbps(Same as Jio Router). Wifi Signal is also strong. i have bought one satellite and one router and router is in the living room and satellite is in first floor and they both cover my entire house. Overall happy and satisfied with the purchase.

WiFi
This is excellent sorted my WiFi out in the hole house so happy
But a bit pricey
Improved my bad loading speed.
I currently live in the suburb of a city in Greece. My internet speed is terrible here and I got these in an attempt to improve my life.
I have two phones, one computer, and a laptop. For instance, when I use my computer, I can’t use my phone and vice versa. Cause one device would be stealing internet from the other. It was a nightmare.
After getting these, I can use all devices at the same time and I no longer have this issue. Even though the difference is very minimal, it has still improved my internet experience a lot. Now I can take a break from my computer and log into Instagram without the app loading forever.
I have attached a few images that I believe might be helpful to users of a similar experience.
IMAGE 1 & 2 – That shows my modem being connected to Orbi. Have marked with 1 and 2 for which cables go where.
IMAGE 3 – That is the main Orbi router (have marked my personal information with red for privacy).
IMAGE 4 – That is one of them while in use. You can see the blue light indicator.
IMAGE 5 – That is my internet connection before and after use of Orbi. That is a test made by my desktop.
IMAGE 6 – That is a test made from my Orbi app and I assume it tests my phone’s speed which is way better than what my desktop has.
A house full of wifi
Bought this as we have virgin media hub 3. The hub would happily supply over 400 MBps in the room in which it was located but the rest of the house was poor to non existent.
I bought this system with two satellites, positioned them where I thought would be best and now everywhere in the house is getting at least 200MBps. (For info, my supply is 600MBps)
Set up wasn’t difficult, but it did take maybe 30 minutes. I renamed the network to be the same as the Virgin one and all of my devices connected to it straight away.
So far there has been no drop outs and I’ve not had to reboot the system, I seemed to be rebooting the Virgin hub daily.
Perfect Mesh router for your home
Early I was using the router comes along with the ISP. It was giving me lot of trouble, when connected to multiple devices and streaming is too pathetic.
Finally after a quite bit of research I found this Netgear RBK352 mesh router. It’s a prefect router for your home. It’s easy to install and I am getting 200+ Mbps throughout my home, without any signal drops. There is no disconnections while connecting to VPN
, so it’s prefect for work from home users as well.
Just go for it, you won’t regret it.
Great system
Works out the box as described – improved connection over power line adapters
Flawless and 500Mb back channel is axes
Actually using my full fiber connection on pc upstairs with it plugged into satalite. Super low latency, super high love.

Wifi in hard to reach rooms
At first I was very sceptical about buying this, as nothing seems to have worked with my Virgin router.
But I was presently surprised, as to how easily this was to setup, and how good it actually works.
I now have a strong and steady wifi signal in all rooms, and can stream without any issues. I would definitely recommend Orbi
Best for dead network signal areas, excellent for existing. For me it was critical requirement to get such wifi router. We have 3 adjacent rooms in our house and due to cable constraint wifi was mostly reachable upto 2nd room and hall. Last room and kitchen had no network or dead signal after after using extender. Orbi router helped me to get satisfactory internet speed in those dead areas with the help of satellite and extremely fast speed in areas where i had moderate speed earlier. Thank you.

Great produc
Replaced aging powerline system. Fantastic. transmits the full wifi signal throughout the house. Max speed at FTTC access point is 70 mbps, get this everywhere now. Before, lucky to get 25! Super easy to install and with excellent management app. Highly recommend.

Simple and Effective
Easy setup via app. Solved the drop outs and dead spots.
Best purchase I’ve made
Purchased router with 2 satellites.
Works perfectly. I struggled getting WiFi in all the rooms of my house, and the signal I could get was poor upstairs and in the kitchen.
I have virgin broadband and would get 108mb speeds near the hub 3 and 40mb upstairs. I now get 108mbs in all rooms in the house, even in rooms that I couldn’t get WiFi in before.
The set up process is simple but a little time consuming as there is a lot of turning routers on and off again. One thing the set up app does not tell you to do is if you are plugging your Orbi into your existing router then you have to put your old router into modem only mode. Once googled this was very easy to do but you may have to wait 15-20mins for the settings to take effect and there is no prompt telling you when this is done. My Orbi was not working, I thought I set it up incorrectly then out of nowhere it just worked perfectly and has ever since (3 weeks now)
You can set your Orbi up with the same WiFi name and password as your existing router so all devices connect to it straight away.
Wish I had bought it sooner!

Easy install, works well
Bought this product because I was fed up with having to reconnect to differently named AP routers as I move around the property. Installation using the Android app is fairly straightforward but it’s important to reboot your ISP router in modem mode after switching on the Orbi devices. I’ve connected the slaves with ethernet links for backhaul and now everything works well as a single named AP mesh system. It’s noticeable that the 5Ghz WIFI links don’t penetrate solid walls as well as the 2.4Ghz, even so, I’m very happy with my purchase and the recent price drops make this system a good value buy.

Brilliant! -- Best WIFI Upgrade
Went from having serious dead-spots and generally slow WIFI in the home to having super-fast speeds – instantly. Easy set-up, took about 15-20 minutes. Now am able to take full advantage of the broadband I’m paying for.
Worth the investme
I’ve being wondering for quite some if its worth upgrading to a WiFi mesh system and finally decided to make the move. I’m very impressed with the upgrade. We now get very fast wifi speeds everywhere including right up to the back of our garden without any dropouts.
I set it up so that one of the extenders is hard wired and the other is connected over wifi. Ideally I would have liked to hardwire both but the location I wanted it didn’t have a wired connection close by. Setup was simple but I do have a pretty good technical understanding.
Speechless
Connected to existing VM hub in under 10 minutes and excellent speed across the house

Great wifi 6 kit at a bargain price
I recently purchased an Orbi RBK352 system (1 x base unit & 1 satellite) as a Christmas present for my daughter. I had previously done some research as to the best systems on the market and Which had given this Orbi system a 90% top rating. The router in her house is on the opposite side to her office, where the wifi is absolutely woeful. As I’m going to be installing this on Christmas Eve, I thought I’d try it out in my own house first, just to make sure there were no ‘hidden’ issues. My daughter and husband aren’t really ‘techie’ so I’ll just be setting it up in ‘Access Point’ mode. It really is plug and play. I setup the base unit first – the instructions were clear and took a couple of minutes to change the mode. I then connected the base unit to my BT HomeHub6. Using the Orbi app on my smartphone, I checked the connection. I had internet (150Mbps) and my wifi connection was 856Mbps. Perfect! I now took the satellite and set it up in my loft, which is about as far away as you can get from my router. I plugged it in and synced it with the base unit – it took a couple of minutes to connect. Reception brilliant! The wifi in my own house isn’t that good but now it’s great. So I’m keeping it! I’ve just had to go out and buy another Orbi system for my daughter’s Christmas present. I work in IT, and for my own house, I wanted to use the base unit in ‘router’ mode to replace my BTHomeHub6. That’s where I came across a few ‘issues’. Whilst it is possible to replace the BTHomeHub with a separate modem (expensive – and not an option for me), it took quite a few Google searches to find out how best to leave the BTHomeHub6 in place as a primary router and setup the Orbi base unit as a secondary router. A more knowledgeable IT friend of mine explained that I just needed to setup the Orbi on a separate subnet and everything would work fine, which it did. There was no information on the Netgear site to help me regarding this issue. This is a great piece of kit which I highly recommend.
Finally a mesh system that can carry out a strong signal
I’m impress with the results, it sustains the broadband speed.
I previously had the ones from BT and it doesn’t compare with this.
Works brilliantly.
It has enabled me to dispense with 2 network switches and a powerline adapter along with their associated power and cable requirements.
Best home wi-fi
Very easy to install following the steps by steps instructions. For better functionality, have to turn off the ISP hub Wi-Fi, let Orby manage the Wi-Fi at home, it will go smoothly

Works just as I had hoped it would
I needed to get WiFi out to my garden office at the bottom of the garden. I have tried two different range extenders with no success.
My modem/current router is right at the front of the house around 30 meters away.
I placed the Orbi router with the modem, one satellite at the back of the house and one satellite in the garden office. The signal strength is great and consistent, where we had no WiFi before we now have the exact same speeds as if you were right next to the router.
Being able to setup guest WiFi for customers to use if needed is good too.
I found the setup to be easy, I placed each component where I thought they would go and then tweaked them after it was all setup with the network map to get the best signal strengths.
Highly recommend.

Great mesh wifi
Looked at several mesh wifi systems. Finally settled on the Orbi because of the number of ethernet ports on the router. Saved me from buying another switch. I’m getting excellent 5g wifi signal strength in every room of the house. Would definitely recommend (I was on a VM hub3)

Facile, anche con Fastweb
Premessa che ho Fastweb, dunque non avevo modo di usufruire il Netgear come vero e proprio router, tuttavia l’ho collegato al Fastweb router con cavo ethernet e il Netgear crea comunque una rete sovrapposta all’altra e funziona benissimo. Con Speed test indipendente sul Internet ho quasi 3 volte la velocit di prima. Molto contento.
Calidad, velocidad y facilidad de instalació
Tengo unos eero pro y pensaba que la instalacin de estos dos iba a ser ms problemtica, pero me ha sorprendido no slo eso, sino la estabilidad de la red y las posibilidades de gestin algo ms avanzada. Por otro lado para los que pueden tener alguna duda por el tamao, sin ser pequeos, no son para nada grandes ni anti estticos.
Great for everything
I work from home and needed a better WiFi signal then my last extender and fast. It is really expensive so I went for the monthly payment option and it’s been really worth it.
Easy to set up and use and it pushed my WiFi from 15mb to my max 300mb and no doubt can go higher if I was on a better broadband package.
Theirs about a size of a water bottle and doesn’t stand out too much. Worth every penny. My only issue is it has dropped out once or twice but very rarely
Solid replacement for by Nighthawk AC1900
I have to be honest, I’ve installed a few mesh systems, deco, tends and even a BT one for friends and they’ve all been… Hmm. OK… The Orbi, I bought for myself to replace my AC1900 which has been bombproof but was due for replacement and wifi6 was beckoning. Literally from unboxing to running in 30 mins with all devices connected and a solid mesh through my whole apartment. Good testing features, good coverage and no issues so far. Good solid netgear kit as usual.

Wow
Apres de nombreux essais, j’ai dcid de mettre le budget et je ne regrette ABSOLUMENT PAS.
Je suis en appartement et ma Freeboox est long de ma chambre. Les murs sont pais etc. Apres de nombreux achats, je n’avais toujours pas internet. (J’ai la fibre..)
Apres l’installation de NETGEAR : Je suis pass de ne pas pouvoir lire de vido Youtube en 144p lire des vido 4K sans delai de chargement. Mes tlchargements sont passs de 30 45 minutes moins de 2 minutes par vido de 1Giga.
JE RECOMMANDE FORTEMENT !
Eccezionali
Ho comprato per la prima volta un sistema MESH e ho provato questo sistema della NETGEAR…e devo dire che funziona in maniera IMPECCABILE …. ho una casa di 3 piani e porta il segnale fino all’ultimo piano senza perdere quasi niente del segnale originale!!!!
Molto meglio di qualsiasi sistema powerline o ripetitori esistenti……
Works well and sorted out our WiFi problems
We used it to boost our a virgin business broadband around the house
Orbi 6 is a life saver if fast clear wifi is important to you
Easy set up the wifi is now amazing. Before the virgin media Hub 3 was rubbish even up close but now the Orbi 6 with two satellites pushes excellent fast wifi in front of the house & beyond the back garden. The Ring wifi cameras are now instant & the door bell picks up immediately any callers. Only regret not buying it last year.
Great ki
Great kit. We have one satellite inside and one outside in the log cabin. Both connect great with the base and give us excellent internet streaming throughout the set up. Was sceptical at first with the outside one but no problems, works great. We have the guest WiFi set up as well so any friends can enjoy the set up without eating into our own connections. Easy to use interface through the app also. Don’t let the price put you off, we’ve tried a few cheaper versions and not one match up to this. Worth every penny
Orbi WiFi system
Very pleased no more drop outs I like that it sends you notifications of new devices and attempts to try and join
It is very easy to set up just follow the onscreen app instructions it talks you through step by step
Solved all my problems
Brilliant bit of kit. Easy to install. Opted for 1 router and 2 satellites. Currently with Virgin broadband. Nice and simple to install and has boosted the overall signal across the house even down to the bottom of the garden. Well worth the price.
J’ai achet le kit avec base + satellite pour une maison de 200m2. Mon problme est que ma box fibre est performante, mais le wifi est pourri.
J’ai donc regard les commentaires, et j’ai vu que le ORBI est un trs bon compromis entre le prix et l’accs au wifi6.
A rception rapide du colis, j’ai ouvert pour dcouvrir les 2 boitiers qui sont trs similaires. L’esthtique est trs jolie, et ils sont bien stables une fois poss sur une surface plane.
Je me suis connect comme dcrit dans le manuel, et c’est l que les choses se sont un peu compliques. Pas moyen d’avoir un wifi fonctionnel…
En fait, toute l’astuce consiste bien crer le compte administrateur, puis ensuite aller sur orbinet.com, se loguer avec “admin” et le mot de passe qu’on a cr prcdemment. Curieusement, je n’ai jamais russi accder l’interface avec mon smartphone, alors qu’avec ma tablette (Samsung S5) a a fonctionn du 1er coup… Toujours les mystres de l’informatique !
A partir de l’interface, il faut aller slectionner le type de connexion et dclarer ORBI comme “point d’accs”. Car par dfaut c’est un routeur, donc a se bagarre avec la box pour savoir qui cr les adresses IP, donc a ne marche pas bien.
Une fois dfini en “point d’accs”, c’est le bonheur. Appairage du satellite simple (russi en 2 coups), puis ensuite j’ai positionn l’tage pour couvrir toute la maison.
J’ai ensuite procd des tests de dbit un peu partout. Pour un dbit max thorique de 1Gb/s (box fibre SFR5), je mesure du 700/850 Mo un peu partout, avec un signal super stable, et qui ne saute pas quand on change de satellite.
Donc c’est nickel, je suis super content, c’est exactement ce que je voulais… Et mes ados ne rlent plus, car ils peuvent enfin activer le wifi partout dans la maison.
Je recommande donc vivement ce produit.
Effective wifi mesh system
Consulted Which? assessment, found this system rated highest, therefore bought it. Installation easy with exception of one aspect: change of name of network. Netgear recommend changing name to the previous name; hence family devices will connect without fuss. My old network was still active; this caused confusion to the new software. Easily solved. Now have a domestic wifi system whose ‘spread’ is far superior to the former system. Pleased with purchase!

Bought this as I had Virgin wifi that was very unreliable with lots of dead spots and needed a more stable system for the amount of wifi use in the house. Very easy to set up initially just by using the app. Once set up the app give great features. The whole system was up and running within twenty minutes or so and now all the kids and myself can watch and play whatever we wish with no lag. Fabulous piece of kit.

Gran equipo si necesitas red en una vivienda con problemas de señal en algunas estancias
Lo he tenido que instalar “despus” del router que quera sustituir. He sido incapaz de sustituir el antiguo router. Pero “puesto en serie” despus del que “nos instalan” las operadoras de WiFi, funciona perfectamente, ms consumo de electricidad, pero lo intent todom que la operadora reseteara el mdem de manera remota, resetearlo yo…. nada, en serie, o sea el Orbit conectado al original que va conectado al mdem y todo “perfecto”
Job done
I’ve got a large 3 story Victorian house. Most of the internal walls are brick. The router is in the front of the house and WiFi at the rear was very poor. With the mesh I can stream Netflix etc and get WiFi at the bottom of the garden!
Endlich gutes WLAN
Vorher gabs im Haus immer zu vielen tote Ecken und stndig nur 3-4mbit (bei einer 400Mbit Leitung).
Mit den 3 APs des ORBI, wenn man diese geschickt whlt, passt es nun endlich! Man muss schauen das man die APs gewhlt platziert, den auch diese schaffen kein Wunder durch 2-3 Wnde, aber wenn man sich damit im EG und 1OG eine gute Abstrahlung schafft ist es ein prima System was einwandfrei zusammenarbeitet. Mit Kabel verbunden eine super Lsung. Leider fllt ein AP immer auf das WLAN Backbone zurck, aber auch so ist es merklich nicht langsamer.
Die Konfiguration ist gut, wenn auch ein paar Einstellungen mehr schn wren. Gerade um das System im LAN Modus zu halten und die Bitdefender Security Suite komplett abzuschalten (Werbung).
Einfach mal probieren und schauen. Fr ein normales Haus ist es eine deutliche verbesserung und einen AP dazukaufen kann man auch immernoch.
Would highly recommend
Very easy to set up, clear instructions and was done in about 10-15 minutes. Has totally changed the WiFi now as we don’t have any drop outs when working at home with virgin broadband
