Review on NETGEAR AC3000 Business Expansion Wireless by Juan Grayson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Great wifi system for smart home

So far this ORBI is meeting my needs. I currently have 46 WiFi devices connected to my ORBI setup. It works well with Spectrum Internet. Although I need to use 3 ORBIs (routers and 2 satellites) to cover an area of 1900m². ft. I didn't have a 3 band signal for all my devices when I was only using 2 ORBIs. With 3 ORBIs, I get 3 lanes for all 43 Wi-Fi devices in the house and only 1 lane for Rachio's sprinkler control, Nest doorbell, and Nest outdoor camera installed outside the house. For this reason I give ORBI 4 stars because the installation is advertised for 2 ORBIs with an area of at least 3000 sqm. foot and I need to use 3 ORBIs for my 1900 sqft. ft. home. Overall, ORBI works well with my setup. It works well with my Macbook and iPhone (contrary to the reviews I've read about problems with Apple devices). It also works well with Philips Hue, Nest, Wemo, Rachio, MyQ, August, PetNet and more.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Lots of things
