    • Excellent System
Style: WiFi 7 Size: 3-Pack
I upgraded from an ORBI 6 Pro (Very nice system). The 970 is a very fast and reliable WIFI system. It was extremely easy and fast to setup with the ORBI App. I have been using Netgear Routers for many years, and I am very happy with the company......

    • WiFi 6 and mesh for large area coverage.
Style: WiFi 6 Size: 2-Pack
I have used Orbi mesh system for several years now and needed to upgrade to network my home interfaces and computers. I had upgraded to gigabyte fiber and the old system was bogging down. I unpacked this two unit system (much heavier a bit larger than my older model) and followed the instructions to install and connect to the fiber. There were no problems with the connection and I was up and running. The coverage is wonderful. This two unit system does the work of my older three unit system. The speeds are much better for wifi: the old system 486mb versus new at 898mb. Each unit has four gibabyte ethernet ports so you can easily do a wired backhaul if needed. All in all, I am impressed with this combo. I think you will be also. ... show more

    • Extends the WiFi over all 3 floors
Style: WiFi 6 Size: 2-Pack
This unit was a replacement for the one I had for the past 10 years. This unit was easy to set up and has great coverage. Will handle more guest than I will ever have at my home. Great speed and well worth the money.

    • Really fast, but far from being ready for prime time
Style: WiFi 6 Size: 3-Pack
Review Image by David G. David G.
Review Image by David G. David G.
Pros: - Speed, speed, speed. Best WiFi speeds I've ever experienced, I routinely hit peaks at 800MBps+ (see pic) => +5 stars Cons: - Web interface is excruciatingly slow, counter-intuitive and cumbersome. The previous Orbi generation web interface was already pretty bad, but this is worse, the new Orbi supposedly comes with a much snappier CPU and should run the webserver a lot faster, but it doesn't. To add insult to injury, Netgear removed a ton of options readily available in the Orbi first generation => -1 star - Security is not implemented well, the thing leaks like a sieve (see picture, you absolutely don't want the blue squares). I would caution against connecting the router directly to your provider's WAN, you might want to leave a gateway or a cheap yet capable router in the way. That's using the latest firmware available (V3.2.9.2_1.2.4), and with the firewall settings on ("Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection" is off, it makes no difference on or off anyway, I tried both) => -2 stars I own the previous generation of Orbi router/satellites, they are far from perfect, but they are rock solid and reliable when it comes to security. This new product was obviously rushed to market, and consumers are essentially being used as beta testers. Given the amount of similar reviews all over the interwebs, I'm surprised Netgear is not stepping up, the firmware in its current state is either going to lead to extremely negative headlines when someone manages to exploit the security holes on the WAN side, or to a class action lawsuit for selling an unfinished product and not implementing what their website says they did. Netgear keeps saying here in the comments they provide high security and point to their website security "good practices", but they haven't even implemented the first "security measure" listed on their site. I'll come back and update my review as they make progress, in the meantime, I'm putting my RBR850 behind an el-cheapo router with a standard firewall stack (it doesn't take much effort to implement, but I guess it's too much to ask from Netgear for now). This is disappointing to say the least, especially when you have to drop a grand to get a router and 2 satellites. *** 2/24/2020 update *** I did submit a case on the Netgear support website (per their request in the comments), and also pointed out the security issues on their forum. No peep from Netgear, so that's another star that's gone. Some forum users acknowledged they saw similar issues with the built-in firewall, but Netgear reps never took the time to look/respond at the forum either. I gave up and bought an Edgerouter 4 from Ubiquiti and switched the Orbi to AP mode (access point only). The Edgerouter proved to be rock solid and secure, though if you plan to make a similar move, make sure to triple-check your firewall rules on he router before you make the switch. It's unfortunate I had to spend another $200 to get basic security that was available in the previous Orbi generation. One positive note: the guest network in AP mode still works, it has its own subnet and dhcp, I was actually surprised moving to AP mode didn't screw that up (one can argue since guest devices are on a different subnet with its own dhcp, they're effectively being route, so it's not true AP mode for them, but that's the way it should be designed to keep the guest network isolated). *** 3/1/2020 update *** I keep finding new bugs on a regular basis. Latest one: if you plan to use the router in AP mode and plan to use a fixed IP address for the router instead of DHCP, the router will not connect to NTP servers to get the correct time, even if you try to use a third party server and not Netgear’s. Why does it matter? Many devices will not properly connect to WiFi guest due to the fact that the guest network has its own DHCP server (it’s on its own VLAN), I suspect the leases are out of whack due to the time discrepancy between the router and the devices. *** 3/18/2020 update *** Netgear pushed a broken firmware last week and essentially bricked many Orbi's in the process. See Netgear forums, lots of unhappy users over there. We're well into negative stars territory at this point. *** 4/1/2020 update *** Well, I really gave it the old college try, but I eventually gave up and put the thing for sale on fleabay. The hardware is great, but the software is simply not mature enough, and I have better things to do than debug the damn thing on behalf of Netgear. I switched to the Amplifi Alien and things have been rock solid since then. YMMV. ... show more

    • Easy Set Up, Works Perfectly
Style: WiFi 6 Size: 2-Pack
The title about says it. I'm not a millennial so not born being a tech head. But out of the box it worked like its predecessor. It blasts the WIFI signal throughout our 3 story home. If I could get the cable internet company to work as well as the Orbi, I would be in heaven.

    • Installation was "awkward" - UPDATE #2
Style: WiFi 6 Size: 2-Pack
Update 23-Aug-2024: For over 20 years I’ve used Netgear routers, WiFi and LAN switches. As I recall just once I had a warranty problem with a ProSafe LAN switch that Netgear gladly replaced for free as it was under the ProSafe Lifetime Warranty. I’ve had a few AC adapters fail after years of use, and I just replaced them. My Orbi 850’s UTP ports (all of them) stopped working. Aside from the UTP ports not working, the unit seemed fine: no error message, no warning lights, I could connect to it via the Orbi app on my iPhone and via a web browser via WiFi with my laptop. The Hardware Warranty expired 6-Jul-2024. I called Netgear, selected Sales, was on hold about 15 minutes (reasonable) and Support answered. I tried to explained I needed Sales, and he insisted on troubleshooting. I did my own hardware troubleshooting; my laptop was able to connect to my ISP via a UTP port, Orbi wasn’t on any of them. I knew the hardware warranty had expired. I just wanted to see if Netgear would sell me a refurb’ed unit at a decent discount given it had only been 7 weeks out of warranty. After a few minutes, the Support Tech transferred me to Sales. And she told me the same thing, your Orbi Hardware Warranty has expired (duh.) I already knew and told the support and sales people same, yet they had a need to tell me after I told them. I was given no options aside from buying new. They didn’t care, that was clear. I felt 7 weeks was reasonable to warrant a discounted refurb’ed, not new, unit. I spent $640 (2-pack) just a year ago. Orbi is a premium product. For now, I can use my iPhone's hotspot for Internet access for my laptop, Now I have some decisions to make. Does this mean you'll have issues with Netgear's customer service? Just sharing what I experienced. Update 25-Oct-2023: I've had no issues with Orbi. I have rebooted a few times, not a big deal, and was probably related to my ISP if they did some maintenance work. When I run backups to my NAS I'm clocking close to 1Gbps wireless - not too shabby at all given my previous WiFi router would do around 180Mbps (wireless) and close to 1Gbps wired. My ISP is 100Mbps and I clock 110Mbps when I do a speed test. I did set-up the Gust Network, no issues at all. The app works well once Orbi is set-up and functioning. Overall, this meets my needs 100%. I don't game, and no kids. Amazon Prime Video has been perfect, no buffering issues like I had with my old Netgear wireless router mentioned below. I would give this 5-Stars if not for the messy, cumbersome set-up. Original 8-Jul-2023: RBR850 router (1Gbps WAN port) and 1 Sat for my 3,800 sq ft house, slab on grade, no second story. I chose the 2.5Gbps WAN rather than the 10Gbps. By the time my microwave wireless ISP offers 1Gbps (currently they offer up-to 200Mbps and soon 500Mbps) and higher it’ll be time to upgrade the Orbi plus by then 10Gbps will be standard. If you have a fibre ISP or over 1Gbps cable service, then the 10Gbps may be reasonable. Buy what you forecast for the next 3+ years and don’t over do it as at some point you will need to upgrade. Others have mentioned set-up was not easy – it was a hot mess. The only instructions for the installation - download the Orbi App and use it, no more, no less. And if you don’t have a smartphone…so sad so sorry, I guess. My ISP only requires providing the MAC address. Once called and updated I started the installation via the App. It failed over and over. I fooled around with reboots of the Orbi and my iPhone – spent an hour and some plus some "choice" language for a $600 rig. For this price, it should be flawless simple. Plus, you can spend over $1,000 if you go with the higher-end Orbi will more sats for a larger house. Bottom line, I had to call Tech Support (7:30PM MT). I was on hold for close to 30 minutes. Once connected the tech was good and walked me through alternative steps. What was needed: I had to disconnect WAN/ISP connection, reboot, connect to the Orbi default Gateway Address (192.168.1.1) via a browser (not possible while the WAN was connected, I tried before calling), then configure via a browser, no Orbi App. The App was useless for MY INSTALLATION. This doesn't mean it won't work for all, it just didn't work for me. I wasted over an hour trying to troubleshoot and then another 30 minutes on hold, and about 15-20 mins with the off-shore tech guy. Once the router and sat were up and running, the App was handy for some things however setting Reserved IP addresses for a few devices had to done via the browser. I set my devices up: DHCP space is 192.168.20->.50, Orbi Router 192.168.1.1 (gateway) to 192.168.1.9 (I used a Reserved Address of 192.168.1.2 for the Sat and space for more Sats if ever needed). 192.168.1.10-.19 are unused, no reason why, I just don’t use them. NAS is 192.168.201/202 (2 bonded 1Gbps wired ports) and the printer is 192.168.1.130, all Reserved Addresses. I don’t have that many devices, and this works well for me. Overall, I have around 13 devices connected, way below the 100 devices Orbi is designed to handle. If I had like 80 devices to connect, I'd go with the next higher up model. I do need to set-up the Guest Network 2.4g for visitors/friends – it’s easy via a browser. The defaults work well for my use, as will for the vast majority. It would have been helpful if documentation, PAPER, recommended "If this happens try 1, 2, 3..." different ways to perform the initial installation, like the tech guy did. Just saying "Use the App" with no other documentation needs to be re-thought by Netgear. Why did I buy Orbi? Overall, I have had good luck for many years w/Netgear. My 4 to 5-year-old AC4000 Nighthawk wasn't allowing use of the 100Mbps of my ISP upgrade, it was capping off at around 15-20Mbps even with the latest firmware. I use a microwave service, no cable/fibre out here in my rural area, and 100Mbps is more than enough - this was an upgrade from 30Mbps, WAY better than the 1.5Mbps DSL CenturyLink has offered for 15 years. I've used Netgear Ethernet ProSafe Unmanaged Switches in my house for going on 20 years. Excellent devices, all 1Gbps. When we built this house 15 years ago, I ran UTP to areas where I knew I wanted wired access. Now with tablets, smartphones, guests, ect, wireless is really needed. Orbi is robust enough to handle my environment. If your home is not wired, then you really need a solid wireless mesh set-up. Yes, Orbi is expensive. I read reviews of other mesh set-ups, asked my ISP what they have experienced with others (they serve rural communities in Colorado, are not a corporate thing, plus they are a small business with great engineers and service) so I decided to spend the money on Orbi. For the price, Netgear should offer 1 year of Premium Support. Typically, once you are set-up, support is rarely needed – it’s the thought that counts when buying premium equipment. One router and a satellite extender was $600, if you buy a 4 or 5 pack or the 10Gbps option it’s very pricey – I expect more for this price tier. And way better installation documentation. ... show more
