I’ve followed the discussions on the Netgear forum regarding a painful two months of handicapped Orbi hardware because of buggy firmware release by Netgear (that should have been better vetted by their engineers). I coincidently bought my 3 station orbi (and added a 4th this week) right around when Netgear releases firmware version 2.1.2.18. I have had none of the issues attributed to versions prior to 2.1.2.18. I’m an experiencing very good wifi speeds and coverage. The family is finally enjoying the internet speeds we pay our ISP for. Is it perfect. No. Netgear still has some issues with the GUI a user would use to periodically monitor their devices with but that is a purely cosmetic issue because it doesn’t affect the underlying performance of the hardware. (To clarify, the firmware is referring to the software that runs on the Orbi hardware not the hardware itself…only one version of the hardware for each model of Orbi)

Equipment working great – no problems. Installation was a little tedious.

We have a 2 satellite 1 router setup and it gives us great coverage over our 4 floor 6000 soft house including the garage. Very pleased with the update from my 8 year old router. Highly recommended. Gotta make sure if you use a cable modem that has a WiFi network that it is disabled before setup as it seemed to cause some trouble with Orbi during setup.

RBK50 beats its peers with multiple Ethernet ports on the base and the satellites. And I was pleasantly surprised with the easy to use management interface.

The Orbi is so flexible. With the latest firmware update the satellites now can connect to each other rather than depending on the connectivity to the Base. I can walk around without losing Internet connectivity, yet when I interrogate the admin panel I find that I’m moving from one Orbi unit to another. This is the flexibility I’ve always wanted!

In a house built in 1959 everything I tried to get wifi to work throughout the house failed epically! Enter Orbi and I have a strong wifi signal in every room and on every inch of my 11,000 sq. Ft. Property!! Such an amazing, easy to use product!.

Quick and Easy installation and great wi-fi coverage throughout our entire house.

Range is great – reaches everywhere with RBR50+RBS50 mesh system. Reaches my wireless Ring and cameras fine.

Router easy to set up, minimal issues. Netgear orbi app needs work. It allows you to check internet connection speed between router and provider but not between router and devices. Still very good router

Gear head support not only was available when I reached them over phone but also honest about refunding the support fee I paid in case they are unable to resolve my issue. Fast and honest support!
Elnora Little (verified owner) –
Adding this satellite to my existing network was very easy. What bugs me is that the cost per-satellite is so high. I feel like the Netgear folks are opportunistically exploiting ecosystem lock-in when customers want to expand their footprint.

I’m pleased with my Orbi; however, we’re working on a problem when the units are hardwired. Obri technicians have been very responsive.
William Howe (verified owner) –
I’ve setup wi-fi’s before but never has it been this easy. I was expecting an all-day adventure but I got this working with an add-on satellite in under 20 minutes without a hitch. Amazing and very strong signal.
Lucy Roberts (verified owner) –
It works really well. The distance on this thing is amazing. The value is amazing. Not having horrible connection while gaming.. Priceless

Had it set up and in place of the old wireless in less than an hour. Works great, excellent coverage!

Home owner with older local network. Always had connection problems. We have tired extenders etc. Finally decided to start all over. Went with the Netgear CM500V modem and the RBK-50 router. The hardest part was talking/working with Comcast to take my old modem off and recognize the new modem. I tried to do it manually per the instructions but it did not finish completely. Had to call Comcast. After they finally fixed their side I set up the RBK50 router. It automatically set up in a flash. No problems, no phone calls. Good instruction. It worked just like it was suppose to. I was so excited after spending several hours with Comcast. The range is very good and strong. No problems connecting, no dropped signals, speed test has more than doubled.

Our old router was going bad so we decided to give these a try. Have added extra satellites and these have made a huge difference in our home internet.

Currently really enjoying the Orbi System. Working seamlessly with all of my 18+ devices. Highly recommend!
Gwen Yost (verified owner) –
Setup was fairly easy. Had to move the satellite nodes several time to get coverage for the entire house and cameras outside. So far working great compares to the FIOS router and ap off of it. It has improved my upload and download speeds everywhere.

Since using the Netgear Orbi WiFi mesh, I have the best reception in my home. Simple to set up and no issue connecting my 2.4 ghz only devices.
