Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
Quality
Easy to install and set up, app made everything simple, so far working flawlessly.
Great coverage, super easy set-up, highly recommend
The antennas had limited throw, devices would constantly drop.
These satellites are not "self healing" meaning their connection back to the main router unit doesn't always reconnect automatically.
Price
Nothing not to love about the whole kit - worth every penny of the premium price.
Bottom line, these are expensive but are easy to setup, rock solid connections, and fast as expected.
Although expensive, this system should last me for a long time with the 200 item limit which i'll never meet.
We pay for a fast internet connection, but our wifi speeds were always inconsistent.
Shipping
I received my orbi wifi mesh recently.

Competitiveness
In any case, it is an improvement over the prior model and is much better than other mesh systems i’ve tried.
I have it hooked up to a starlink system and my wifi speed test are almost the same as the speed test from the wired starlink r... Read More
The prior system supported 100 devices and this system supports 200 devices (at least according to netgear specs).
