"I have a 2 story 2350sf house. I have an Orbi with the master AP upstairs in the hall covering all the bedrooms rooms. Downstairs I have 2 Orbi Client APs on either end of the house covering all the downstairs, garage, and outside. ... I’ve never had any issues with coverage or bandwidth."
"The furthest room away from the primary is the “throne room” in the master bathroom. I get awesome signal and because of that, three units are not excessive for a 2,000ish sqft house ;)"
"We have an Orbi system it goes through all the layers and delivers full (5 bars) connection throughout our over 3500 sq ft 1730 home."

"I download 50tb a month on my server and steam Plex to nearly ten simultaneous users this way. Never had any issues relating to the wifi side of it."
"after about 6-8 months of continual firmware upgrade was WONDERFUL and blindly fast 880 on a 1GB , symmetric up/down . Rock solid unflappable."

"If you want good enough, simple outta the box, then Orbi mesh is great. ... It’s been dead simple to administer."
"the mesh works so much better, both in coverage, speed, and ease of use."

"As far as *hardware* goes, the Orbi is a good premium mesh system ... my best performing wireless devices I've owned were my nighthawk and my Orbi. ... Out of desperation I dropped a lot on a 4 station orbi triband and it just worked so well out of the box. ... I have a 3,000 sqft home so 4 strategically placed APs wirelessly connected to each other over the dedicated 5ghz third band works really well."
"a good quality mesh like Netgear 6e or 7 will have a dedicated wireless backbone channel and be miles better than any client pcie or USB wifi adapter."
"I have an Orbi setup and it tells me if my backhaul connection is good or not."

"Netgear told me to factory reset after every firmware update. It took over one hour every time…They write it in every forum thread. They never fixed their firmware. This was an awful experience."
"If the power went out, it wouldn’t come back on until after I manually unplugged."
"I've had mine almost 2 years and have many times wanted to throw it out the window of a moving car."

"I've tried Orbi several times over the last few hardware generations and it had been the same shitty experience for me each time. It seemed there was always something up with it"
"they stopped updating any firmware and my security software was screaming at me to patch holes."

"I would have probably kept going with Orbi if I could call support, but you need to buy a subscription from netgear!"
"their support was absolutely horrible"

"Had way too many disconnects"
2begreen 0.3At work I am Switching to UniFi from Orbi pro. Had way too many disconnects and the insight interface sucks. Will do the same at home.
Previous-Spring-6476 0.3Went mesh 3 years ago. Never felt better. Orbi Pro here. Another party trick is the cost of the thing. Always gets attention 😋
HmmReallyInteresting 0.1Same. my original Orbi from precovid was garbage performance originally, but after about 6-8 months of continual firmware upgrade was WONDERFUL and blindly fast 880 on a 1GB , symmetric up/down . Rock solid unflappable. But, they stopped updating any firmware and my security software was screaming at me to patch holes. So I researched and almost no one can deal with the new Netgear stuff you and others mention here. So, I went with a pair of Asus ROG GT6's... Stable but otherwise disappointing performance. fantastic tweaking software, but despite this, just 'meh' overall. highly asymmetric performance: fast-ish – still only slightly faster than HALF of what the 5 year old Netgear got on the download. And it's horrible on the upload. So seriously disappointed in Asus. Everyone seems to think Ubiquiti is the best (within reason) and I'm going to sell my Asus Stuff and try that too. Thanks for your info.
ultrazgunner 0.0I've used orbi 5ghz 4 nodes in 7500sqf home for years and worked great. I was able to use MOCA since the house got coaxial wired to all rooms. I've downsized and recently bought Asus axe7800 3-pack at bestbuy. Just grab 2 sets and you got a router and 5 nodes to mess around with.
availablelol 0.0I bought an Orbi WiFi mesh from a Costco a while back. I've had zero issues with it. I direct play 4k streams to my Apple TV 4K through WiFi with no buffering.
BigCliffowski 0.0Also an Orbi survivor. Good for you!
Blackdogaudio 0.0Funny, I did the same thing only it just lasted two years with Netgear.
Bow-Masterpiece-97 0.0I have also had fantastic luck with Orbi systems over the years.
Busy-Style-2036 0.0I've used Orbi (Netgear product) for the last 7-8 yrs, very reliable, good quality. I upgraded after 3-4 yrs, my parents use the earlier version, they all run fine.
carefreeams 0.0I had a bad experience with orbi also. Took it all back.
