This is a great system. It seamlessly switches to the stronger WiFi signal (router or satellite) as we move about the house. Did a manual setup using WiFi (which was easy) for a couple of reasons. Printed the Spark login and other settings from old router and typed them in. ...view more

The Netgear Orbi is one of the best devices in its class and after it has gained the daisy-chain capabilities, it became a more complete device, while still being able to outperform all of the popular wireless mesh systems from the market.

Stellar Wireless Performance; Dedicated Backhaul 5Ghz Radio; MU-MIMO Technology; Easy-to-Use Interface

Very Expensive; There Are Some Dormant Features; Ethernet Backhaul Is Unstable

Mesh Wi-Fi networks have been all the rage ever since Eero introduced its first router system last February. These Wi-Fi systems are designed for large houses or offices that would typically need to be served by multiple routers or Wi-Fi range extenders.

Great range; Excellent performance; especially over large distances; Easy to set up

Expensive; Barebones app

Excellent wifi solution. Easy to set up, simply follow the online or app instructions. Speeds are extremely fast. Highly recommended.

it's quite expensive but I'm happy as signal strength is so good! Works perfect in my 4 storeyed building. This simply works and good to provide wifi system in your society/apartment. speed is simply extraordinary! Good product!

I got tired of using a wifi extender, and didn't want to go through the hassle of (learning to and) reconfiguring an old modem to function as an access point in my house. After looking at the Orbi, Google home, and Eero, I bought the Orbi. Took about 10 minutes to set up.

After years of having to put up with poor wireless due to extremely thick granite walls and countless attempts to use ever more expensive dual band routers and extenders to solve the issue, I was dubious to say the least that this router would offer more than a slight boost in range and speed.

The router is probably the most underutilised IT product in the average home, if you think about it. Sure, it works 24/7, but how do most people use it? They plug it in and leave it.

The Netgear Orbi mesh-router system is out of this world, able to fill a large home with high-speed Wi-Fi. It's a snap to set up and has more range and power than almost any other router.

Phenomenal performance; Dedicated router-to-extension data channel; MU-MIMO technology; Choice of app or browser setup

Relatively large devices; Expensive; Limited functionality on mobile app for now

Netgear's Orbi Wireless AC system is perfect for geeks looking to tweak their network.

Great coverage throughout the home; The browser-based interface provides tons of settings to tweak; A dedicated 5GHz band for router-to-satellite communication; Internet-based remote network management

The system and its satellites are very expensive; The parental controls feature is a standalone service; The USB 2.0 port can't be used for storage devices
