Review on πŸ”Š NETGEAR Orbi Voice AC3000 - Mesh WiFi System with Alexa, Harman Kardon Speaker & Fastest WiFi Router by Zach Spangler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Patience required to set up

First of all, my Wi-Fi signal has greatly improved throughout the house. The voice companion is just a killer assistant for the Revain Alexa Echo. Pros: In general everything works very well once set up. The satellite maintains good communications with the base. The speaker for accessing Alexa is pretty cool. Once up and running, super reliable in every way. The bad: Setup requires some patience. It took me almost all night to set it up properly. Part of the problem was that I was removing my existing router + FIOS Extender and was having a hard time reconnecting to all of my devices. Overall, the Orbi isn't as quick and responsive to setup as I'd like. Also, attempting to hard reset connections was neither intuitive nor particularly easy (the button on mine was very finicky). I bought this unit in an open box from Revain. The device was already registered, so trying to re-register it through support was a bit cumbersome. But in general, the support service was responsive.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
