Title: Fixed My WiFi Issues
Review: The Orbi 971 Mesh Wifi System consistently delivers strong, reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout my home. With its sleek design and easy setup, it was a breeze to integrate into my existing network. I've noticed a significant improvement in streaming quality and online gaming performance, especially in areas where my previous router struggled. The Orbi 971's range is impressive, ensuring I have a stable connection even in the farthest corners of my house. If you're looking for a reliable and powerful mesh Wi-Fi system, the Orbi 971 is definitely worth considering.

Title: FAST, reliable and excellent WiFi coverage with a great app!
Review: I recently purchased the Orbi 850 after reading rave reviews, and I have to say, it lives up to the hype and more! Setting up the main router satellite and (3) additional satellites was a breeze; the instructions were clear, and the app made the process seamless. The coverage is outstanding. I now have strong WiFi signal in every corner of my home, even in areas where it used to be weak. Streaming movies, gaming, and video calls are all smooth and uninterrupted. The design is sleek and fits well with my home decor. Overall, I'm incredibly satisfied with my purchase. If you're looking for reliable WiFi with excellent coverage, the Orbi 850 is definitely worth considering as highly recommend.

Title: Great Product!
Review: Ever since broadband internet became available in our area, we've always had issues with our wifi cutting in and out. We also have several unexplained wireless deadzones which is very annoying. Well, not anymore. This product has eliminated all of those and works very well. Now, we have full 6G wifi speeds throughout our entire house. This product was extremely easy to setup and has been a real lifesaver. I'm really hoping that these things last more than a year because they truly work as advertised.This is coming from someone who has spent thousands of dollars on the newest, badest, routers and range extenders with absolutely no luck at all.The only negative thing I have to say is that I have 1 OLED LG TV that has real problems staying connected to these things both through wired and wireless connections. However, that's one device out of 20-30 easily. We've got everything from printers to other smart OLED TVs, to laptops that have no issues whatsoever.I really can't recommend this product enough.

Title: Really fast, but far from being ready for prime time
Review: Pros:- Speed, speed, speed. Best WiFi speeds I've ever experienced, I routinely hit peaks at 800MBps+ (see pic) => +5 starsCons:- Web interface is excruciatingly slow, counter-intuitive and cumbersome. The previous Orbi generation web interface was already pretty bad, but this is worse, the new Orbi supposedly comes with a much snappier CPU and should run the webserver a lot faster, but it doesn't. To add insult to injury, Netgear removed a ton of options readily available in the Orbi first generation => -1 star- Security is not implemented well, the thing leaks like a sieve (see picture, you absolutely don't want the blue squares). I would caution against connecting the router directly to your provider's WAN, you might want to leave a gateway or a cheap yet capable router in the way. That's using the latest firmware available (V3.2.9.2_1.2.4), and with the firewall settings on ("Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection" is off, it makes no difference on or off anyway, I tried both) => -2 starsI own the previous generation of Orbi router/satellites, they are far from perfect, but they are rock solid and reliable when it comes to security. This new product was obviously rushed to market, and consumers are essentially being used as beta testers. Given the amount of similar reviews all over the interwebs, I'm surprised Netgear is not stepping up, the firmware in its current state is either going to lead to extremely negative headlines when someone manages to exploit the security holes on the WAN side, or to a class action lawsuit for selling an unfinished product and not implementing what their website says they did. Netgear keeps saying here in the comments they provide high security and point to their website security "good practices", but they haven't even implemented the first "security measure" listed on their site.I'll come back and update my review as they make progress, in the meantime, I'm putting my RBR850 behind an el-cheapo router with a standard firewall stack (it doesn't take much effort to implement, but I guess it's too much to ask from Netgear for now). This is disappointing to say the least, especially when you have to drop a grand to get a router and 2 satellites.*** 2/24/2020 update ***I did submit a case on the Netgear support website (per their request in the comments), and also pointed out the security issues on their forum. No peep from Netgear, so that's another star that's gone. Some forum users acknowledged they saw similar issues with the built-in firewall, but Netgear reps never took the time to look/respond at the forum either. I gave up and bought an Edgerouter 4 from Ubiquiti and switched the Orbi to AP mode (access point only). The Edgerouter proved to be rock solid and secure, though if you plan to make a similar move, make sure to triple-check your firewall rules on he router before you make the switch. It's unfortunate I had to spend another $200 to get basic security that was available in the previous Orbi generation. One positive note: the guest network in AP mode still works, it has its own subnet and dhcp, I was actually surprised moving to AP mode didn't screw that up (one can argue since guest devices are on a different subnet with its own dhcp, they're effectively being route, so it's not true AP mode for them, but that's the way it should be designed to keep the guest network isolated).*** 3/1/2020 update ***I keep finding new bugs on a regular basis. Latest one: if you plan to use the router in AP mode and plan to use a fixed IP address for the router instead of DHCP, the router will not connect to NTP servers to get the correct time, even if you try to use a third party server and not Netgear’s. Why does it matter? Many devices will not properly connect to WiFi guest due to the fact that the guest network has its own DHCP server (it’s on its own VLAN), I suspect the leases are out of whack due to the time discrepancy between the router and the devices.*** 3/18/2020 update ***Netgear pushed a broken firmware last week and essentially bricked many Orbi's in the process. See Netgear forums, lots of unhappy users over there. We're well into negative stars territory at this point.*** 4/1/2020 update ***Well, I really gave it the old college try, but I eventually gave up and put the thing for sale on fleabay. The hardware is great, but the software is simply not mature enough, and I have better things to do than debug the damn thing on behalf of Netgear. I switched to the Amplifi Alien and things have been rock solid since then. YMMV.

Title: Expensive but delivers
Review: So the only real cons to the Netgear Orbi is the size of the product as it is quite large and the cost. Fortunately I paid a solid sale price. Outside of that, the set up was fairly easy and the performance is top notch. Speeds deliver on my 1.2 GB internet service. Average wireless test is well over 980MB to 1.2GB from the built in speed tester on the app. Most wireless devices are limited by their own wireless limits. Example, no way the iPhone will pull 1GB, but I consistently get will over 400 MB to 500MB and it’s plenty fast for everything I need. Obviously, the more devices you add the more bandwidth is shared, but it’s dynamic to what’s being used versus idle and this particular model easily services the 40 connected devices I have including cameras and gaming systems. The tri-band or third connection dedicated to backhauling between the router and satellite is what makes the difference in streaming performance. In short, not discrete in size and pricey, but worth the money on performance an capabilities for larger homes. For something more discrete and reasonable in performance when you have less than 1GB, there are cheaper and solid performing options like EERO or Google. Still, this was worth it for home size, number of devices and performance.

Review: I originally had a basic Velop mesh system and decided to upgrade to a premium option. I chose Netgear, expecting great performance given its price and marketing. However, when I set it up in the same spot as the Velop, the units couldn't even connect to each other. Despite the large size of the device, I was willing to overlook its appearance for a superior connection. Unfortunately, this turned out to be my worst experience ever, and I felt completely ripped off. I will be replacing it with the Deco X90.

Review: The product failed during the initial setup.I reached out to the technical support over the phone and they were very kind enough to trouble shoot the problem . Unfortunately the product was declared as Hardware failure by the Technical support team after spending nearly half day trouble shooting with multiple attempt and method. I was having a very high expectation on Netgear products , unfortunately it failed with me .Looks like its my bad luck i had to return the product.
