Pros & Cons

Pros

Orbi wi-fi is light-years ahead of my isp provided router. Dedicated 5ghz back-haul channel makes all the difference.

Go through the step by step setup, as guided by the app, about 10 mins. No real dislikes other than the pushes via in-app ads and messaging to utilize the bundled netgear and bitdefener security products. Couldn't be happier with this setup.



Cons

Horrible router & satellite. Have been using netgear since 2005 but never been so disappointed. Extremely disappointed and did not expect from a premium product like this.

The system seems to be very quirky, as it may work for multiple days and weeks flawlessly, but then for no reason, quite working altogether. It take almost an hour for these devices to sync even if they are in the same room. Satellites drop in and out...  Read More

I'm throwing this whole system in my garbage for them to pick up tomorrow. Going to return this. Returning it immediately" "i am convinced my unit is defective but netgear will not honor the hardware warranty, and amazon will not allow me to return th...  Read More

On average, my wifi 6 speed with compatible devices are 300-400 both upload and download speed, so definitely the speed is not there. When we watch live performances on zoom, we get overlay messages internet connection unstable. We are unable to zoom ...  Read More

Other than the bottleneck, i am very happy with the mesh system.


So far i am very impressed with the orbi system.

Netgear seems particularly bad in this regard.

Competitiveness


I put the other satellite in my barn (through a cat6 connection) and i'm getting 480mbps in my 2100sf garage, corner to corner.


The dedicated 5ghz back-haul channel makes all the difference.


Just installed the orbi rbk753 mesh wifi6 system replacing a tp-link deco s4 wifi 5 mesh system.


If i have any criticism at all, i wish there'd been one more cat5 port on the back of the router.

    Ive been looking at mesh wifi systems for a while and the one thing that has always stopped me is seeing multiple reviews that say the product worked really well for a while then slowed down or started working intermittently after an update


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Netgear seems particularly bad in this regard


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One thing im not thrilled about however is that the mesh concept seems flawed


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A portable device will latch onto one station and does not seem to let go of it when it is moved away and approaches another station with a stronger signal


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If i read the netgear response correctly they blame the device that is its up to your phone or laptop to move to the stronger signal and netgear cant force it to change stations


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    On the other hand after using the system for a while the worry about not selecting the station with the strongest signal seems mostly theoretical


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The internet guy told me about this


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was hesitant to purchase the rbk753s after spending days reading and watching review videos
