" ... Signal strength and range are very good. ... "
" ... The cowork offices are about 3000 square feet and the the Orbi provides coverage throughout the building. ... At this point, because the wired connection on the satellite is so strong I think I’ll forgo running cable back to the network room and simply connect an 24 port ethernet switch. ... "
" ... About a month ago, I purchased an Orbi home router system (RBK50), two additional indoor satellites (RBS40) and and outdoor satellite (RBS50Y). ... My goal was to get consistent fast 5 MHz WiFi inside my house (approximately 10,000 sq. ... feet), and to extend 2.4 MHz WiFi our to the street to connect a series of Ring security cameras. ... "
" ... I had the best, most highly rated Netgear router but internet was always dropping (we have a lot of brick). ... "
" ... We found that although some mesh WiFi routers have up to 3 satellite points they lacked the advanced capabilities that the Netgear Orbi Pro had and the larger data transfer pipe and back haul. ... That is why we want with the NetGear Orbi Pro! ... "
" ... As a Cisco professional, I'd have to say the orbi mesh system is pretty dependable in my 3000 sq. ... I have 2 satellites and have no issues whatsoever with bandwidth issues, streaming or with NAS. ... "
" ... When the router works, all is great. ... I like the Orbi because it really has good coverage. ... And, we have plaster walls and ceiling in more places than I can count. ... "
" ... We have tried a number of different WiFi routers and extenders in our house, but we never could get good reliable coverage in the master bedroom or in parts of our basement. ... With the Neatgear Orbi mesh system, we now have full coverage throughout the house. ... "

" ... Note that I run a complicated network full of Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, and access points. ... In this project, I was looking to decommission my enterprise setup and "go consumer". ... I knew I was likely to hit obstacles and things I couldn't accomplish with consumer gear, but I was simplifying my setup and hoped to make it work and compromise in some areas. ... It really cannot do both well and maintain proper segmentation -- even if you're trusting Netgear's layer 2 segmentation. ... "
" ... The Orbi doubled my speed, offers seamless handoff, and was very easy to setup. ... "
" ... The web-based setup is identical to other Netgear routers. ... Naturally, the system is a little more complicated to setup than a single router, but well worth the hour or two you might spend coming up to speed on it. ... "

" ... We found that although some mesh WiFi routers have up to 3 satellite points they lacked the advanced capabilities that the Netgear Orbi Pro had and the larger data transfer pipe and back haul. ... "
" ... For example the guest network apparently has access to the entire local network if you use IPv6! ... Wi-Fi coverage did seem good. ... "
" ... Strong signals, no service issues and create flexibility to create multiple wifi login accounts including public wifi with service terms. ... "

" ... This solution worked perfectly with just two nodes, no lost connections for any device and speeds are great with our gigabit service, It took a couple of days for the system to normalized which device was going to connect to which node, and Amazon Echo was a little hit or miss with all room music for the first couple of days, but after that, the system just worked. ...
