Pros & Cons
Pros
Orbi’s performance is exceptional with the 20+ devices in our home. Mesh coverage seems to be good and has eliminated several old devices. Coverage is really good, a solid brick building, there are no dead spots front to back.
Cons
Nothing but problems with wifi and even lan. The router also decides to block websites at random and you need to go deep into the settings in order to find a workaround. This is not mentioned on the website at all.
Highlights
Quality
Also, that is just with the base model ax1800.
The only thing i struggled with was connecting the orbi in bridge mode with the isp’s modem.
Competitiveness
Orbi’s performance is exceptional with the 20+ devices in our home and just a 50mbps nbn connection.

After setting up the just the router not the satellite to test signalspeed of the internet at the farthest point in the house away from the router i did a speed test there was a one point drop in the wifi signal yet it gave 100mbps which is the speed as equal as standing next to router
