Netguard Armor and all of netguards native safety software gets installed and runs in the background by default, only after messing around with a combination of hard and soft resets did we figure out how to somewhat hide the bloatware that was blocking legitimate websites and devices like printers. Unless you are extremely tech savvy I would stay completely clear of the Orbi.

Plenty of features, user-friendly management and top-flight performance...

For such high price, Netgear should do better. first , add a sticker in their box, clearly state USE WEB GUI to set up, do NOT use Apps, because if you're SPARK fiber customer, the Apps will never ever get it works.

Prior to installing the Orbi we had no Wifi upstairs in our 3 storey terrace. After reading many expert reviews on different mesh wifi systems I went with the Orbi and it is awesome! Strong wifi from the top to bottom (RBR50) of the house. Easy to setup, effectively all I did was plug and play.

The Orbi system worked flawlessly for a year, strong Wi-Fi signal and fast connection throughout the house. Then it started repeatedly dropping Wi-Fi signal. Product support for Netgear is nonexistent, so I scoured the internet for solutions and tried system reboots, factory resets and firmware...

Set up was no problem, the Wifi worked and speed was good, however even with the firmware updates, the WiFi would just drop, logs didn't show any issues, in fact the logs showed no failure of broadband - this would happen quite often and no explaination- Put the old WiFi system back on and it worked...
