"I've got a higher end orbi system, and move an absolute boatload of data around, with more than 50 attached devices on the network, and it holds up very, very well."

"I also max out my gigabit thru wifi, anywhere in the house with just 1 satellite. And it's not a small house."
"We have a Netgear Orbi mesh system in our house with the router downstairs on one side of the house and the satellite upstairs on the other side. We have a full-strength wi-fi signal throughout the house."
"mesh, no cables and it works great on a pretty big house with another router 100m away. ... I have the main router, one repeater on flat 1, another on flat 2, one in the garage, and another in the shed"

"It's set and forget and just works, quite awesomely."
"Netgear Orbi seems to be easier to manage all around."
"It's honestly been one of the most reliable pieces of tech I've ever owned, especially in the world of networking. ... Hooked it up two years ago and basically never thought about it again. ... Everything in the house/yard/basement had perfect internet all the time."

"after a few weeks of running it has the appearance there's some drops in connectivity and a reboot of all the mesh is needed to clear up the network issues."
"I used to have Orbi and the web interface is a joke."
"the Orbi firmware does not let you create separate 2.4 and 5.0 GHz wireless networks."

"Another tell-tale sign that the WiFi needs a reboot is the management interface for the primary AP gets quite a blit slower, although it's pretty slow and ineffective to manage to start with."

"Avant j’avais les Orbi de Netgeat et j’étais assez déçu au regard du prix que j’avais payé et des rares options disponible"
"they are a bit expensive for a mesh."
UNCfan07 0.2Check Facebook marketplace. I was able to find and Orbi 2pck of WiFi 6 for $80. Works perfectly
brotkel 0.1I hated the WiFi 6 Orbi system I bought. It was lacking so many fairly basic features, such as QoS, firmware updates breaking basic functionality, and a very lackluster app-focused experience. I replaced it with an ASUS WiFi 7 system comprised of a RoG router with two Zen nodes and it’s been a lot more solid with far more configuration options than I’ve ever seen on a residential router. Maybe the Orbi WiFi 7 line has solved their earlier issues, but I’ll never buy one again based on my prior experience.

MithrilFlame 0.0Netgear Orbi 2 or 3 unit mesh wifi kit. Or, more expensive but with more options Ubiquiti kit. Those are your best performance choices.
Bill_Money 0.0Netgear switches - great Netgear Pro AV - great Netgear consumer Orbi - total shit
Accomplished-Ruin945 0.0I moved from a Netgear Nighthawk router and extender to an Orbi network... Well worth it to me.
AdogHatler 0.0Had an ORBI for many years, its had numerous minor issues over the years but it finally stopped functioing a month or two ago and I go myself an Archer AX10, quite happy with setup and no issues so far.
Alarmed-Intention-22 0.0It depends on what you want. I have a Nether Mesh system that I disabled the router function on and use a home built pFSense unit running on a micro pc with multiple LAN ports. I don’t get full functionality out of it and I intend to learn more about it. Works great. The NetGear Orbi series is a good base to learn from
Amazing-External9546 0.0If you are going to depend on WIFI mesh is a great choice. Main with one remote with 1700 ft is probably great but one with two even better. You don't necessarily need all the newest wifi whistles and bells but the user interface on the newer mesh systems is a huge help. My orbi system has all kinds of things like idiot lights that while I don't need them still are nice.
anakaine 0.0The wireless backhaul is nothing to sniff at on the better domestic mesh systems. I've got a higher end orbi system, and move an absolute boatload of data around, with more than 50 attached devices on the network, and it holds up very, very well. Your average home user will be well served by a Deco mesh.
