Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The netgear orbi offers a dependable mesh network that enables seamless hand-offs. It is crazy expensive for a home wireless setup but it is so much better than everything else i've tried.

The orbi router and satellite system emerges as the unrivalled champion. What's laudable is the orbi system's robust speed. It's a shining example of exceptional tech that marries style with substance.



Cons

The power grid in the south - atlanta isn't the best, honestly. Sadly, having already invested in the product….

Some of the iot devices and wifi laptops refuse to connect. The outdoor unit is set 10 feet from one of the wired orbi units and refuses to connect. The only way to get everything working after any power cycle is to turn everything off, including all ...  Read More

They refuse categorically to upgrade our service ticket to a senior advisor. Hilariously, i pay for the security service and when i tried to get support from netgear it blocked their own site!

Support is outsourced. I am not willing to subject my personnel to the frustration of countless hours of waiting for support services to resolve issues. Not to mention a subscription is required to get what is clearly regarded as subpar.

It is incredibly expensive so you would expect it to be intuitive and simple to use. They are tall with a short base which causes them to tip over very easily.

Quality


Seems very sturdy and easy to mount on wall and secure satellites safely.


The elevated position seems to enhance the signal distribution, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted gaming and streaming experiences.


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


This peace of mind is priceless, especially in a bustling household.


Bottom line, these are expensive but are easy to setup, rock solid connections, and fast as expected.

In any case, it is an improvement over the prior model and is much better than other mesh systems i’ve tried.

Devices reboot pretty quick compared to compeititors.

    It’s going to sound incorrectly like my comments below offset the positive but please don’t read them that way

    It terms of downsides setting this one up can be a bear as the app doesn’t always recognize the device even under perfect conditions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But pity the person who doesn’t understand ip addresses and can’t get other network devices to “see” this router


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Also for the price this system lacks some of the more advanced networking features we’d expect


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    No need for an app unless a cell is all you have for connectivity
