Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Performance is stellar! Several 4k tv’s streaming 4k content at once without issues.

The orbi app keeps track of all of my devices; when active or dormant. It also has an iot login (not a separate network) that assigns devices to the 2.

This delivers for us in *. Especially useful for the pesky sonas. Well done.



Cons

Support is outsourced. Subscription is required to get what is clearly regarded as subpar. Product &t support is no good when needing experience/expert help. They terminate direct support once the 1-year warranty expires.

The orbi is being returned. Tried for over 2 weeks. My only option left is vote with my feet and let them sell their wares to someone not needing to cover as large an area. That’s what i will be doing and it won’t be a netgear.

Freez up, wouldn't communicate, took 4 hrs to almost connect things. It refuses connections because its dhcp server is buggy.

The speed of the wi-fi 6e is less than 1gbps. Most of the times is around 500-600 mbps. The amount of data loss between the rbre960 router and gateway is astonishing. Average download and upload speeds are 150-300mbps up and 808mbps down.

it is outrageously expensive! You would expect it to be intuitive and simple to use, but it is not. By far, the most difficult unit to setup and use.

Price


Nothing not to love about the whole kit - worth every penny of the premium price.


Yes, it cost a little more, but having all of my devices working flawlessly is well worth the upcharge.


50 per 1mb/s) and at full price of the orbi was $1600 ($2.


Although expensive, this system should last me for a long time with the 200 item limit which i'll never meet.

Packaging/appearance


The hardest part of the install is opening up the packaging.

    These were not a great solution because it still did not provide a great signal was noticeably slower when further away from the router and there were so many wifi options with the ext label on my phone that made it look awful


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That all disappeared with the wifi mesh with orbi


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Previously had an asus mesh router that died shortly after the 1 year warranty expired


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They reached a far distance until the new wifi 7 versions came out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Im just waiting on the business models because i need just aps with my new setup these home units dont allow you to set vlans and connect the vlans to the different ssid they only just make new ssids which is why im looking to low level business grade


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also the cost doesnt match what you get in value with the newer devices


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Like right now wifi 7 is double and still just doesnt allow the features that high end homes need


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
