"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."
"I have an Orbi setup I got from Costco on black friday a few years ago, it's a couple gen old now, but still works fantastic."
"Backhaul is rock solid and fast ... wireless backhaul can saturate them :)"

"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."

"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."
"I had the same issue when I moved into my current home. I bought the Netgear Orbi mesh system with three satellites and it’s worked brilliantly for me"
"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 ;)"

"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."

"Covers all of my 1970s-era house—which previously had very spotty 5G—plus the back yard."
"definitely provides the coverage you need in all corners of the house ... 2800sq ft with zero dead spots from basement to floor 2 and even garage as well as outside use and driveway area"
"We use a Netgear Orbi base station and two satellites and it works pretty well. ... I was looking on eBay to pick up a third satellite to extend the signal out into the garage."

"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."
"I would have probably kept going with Orbi if I could call support, but you need to buy a subscription from netgear!"
"Netgear support was marginal, but once they determined it was faulty, they wanted me to send it back on my dime and they'd send me a new one. Again, the unit was a week old."

"firmware updates breaking basic functionality"
"NG severely nerfed the software for power users (I'm a network admin by trade) ... you need a dedicated and better gateway with actual features"
"the parental control options were junk."

"When it works it is fast but the connection drops sometimes out of the blue and it is unstable. ... With the Orbis I know everyone is complaining about dropouts"
"I had a WiFi 6 Orbi set up. It worked for about a week and then the mesh point died. ... The problem was that it died silently. It said it was working but nothing would connect to it."

I’ve used the Orbi for the last 1.5 years and it seems to be working great. Not a cheap system but definitely provides the coverage you need in all corners of the house. 2800sq ft with zero dead spots from basement to floor 2 and even garage as well as outside use and driveway area.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->I recently did a moderate upgrade going from an Orbi RBR50 which was solid to a Orbi RBR750P. Speeds are better, but ever now and then it just factory resets. It is painfully slow to setup these Orbi’s. Next time it happens I am switching to something else.
r/orbi • Any Recommendations On New Orbi (or other mesh like system) since current one is end of life? ->Very, very happy with my Orbi. Covers all of my 1970s-era house—which previously had very spotty 5G—plus the back yard. I really don’t remember any problems with it at all, and it has been several years. Prices have even dropped since I bought my system.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->https://preview.redd.it/wmdnb4yrmqje1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d552c2926e936aada1a964c6c6d0b990ecf3317 I swear by netgear orbi. Nothing but good experience with them. Backhaul is rocks olid and fast, 2.5gbps lan ports and wireless backhaul can saturate them :)
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->We use Orbi, and it covers our 2800 sq ft home, plus the garage and the apartment above. Total coverage with the 2 extenders with no dead spots. 5g throughout the whole area.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->Not sure about the others but the Orbi firmware does not let you create separate 2.4 and 5.0 GHz wireless networks.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->I did not like my orbi setup. Buggy POS for me riddled with terrible firmware releases they kept having to apologize for. I moved on to unifi and while it’s not a panacea… it’s a damn sight better than orbi.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->I had an Orbi mesh system until it failed. Switched to Deco and love it. The software is so much better.
r/HomeNetworking • What is the Best WiFi Mesh System for Home? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 ->Hoping a new pair of eero 7 Pros arriving this afternoon from Amazon see off my old RBK752 system after the RBS started having issues. I dusted off two eero 6 Pros I had in storage while waiting on the 7 Pros and I'm shocked at how good they are with the latest firmware. They support our 2K security cameras with zero pixilation now when scanning the yard in real time. My RBK752 didn't have the bandwidth to support that kind of stream.
r/orbi • Moved from Orbi 970 to Ubiquiti and OMG ->I have the 750 with two satellites. I use it as the main router for my Century link fiber (hooked directly to ONT and not quantum) and it works really well. I also have it driving a 12 connection switch for all the stuff I have hard lined. No complaints and I get way better results without century links modem/router in the mix.
