Review on πŸ“Ά NETGEAR Orbi RBS20-100NAS Mesh WiFi Add-on Satellite - Expand Your Orbi Router Coverage by Up to 2,000 sq. ft with Speeds up to 2.2Gbps by Jordan Doyle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The app and support leave a lot to be desired, but overall good.

App and support leaves something to be desired, but overall good. This system with an extra satellite covers my house and detached two story garage fairly smoothly, including the yard space between them. In general, I am very satisfied with the system. Wi-Fi no longer drops when heating potatoes or popcorn in the microwave I want the satellites to always connect to the main router and not another satellite. BUT I understand that this is also the purpose of a flexible mesh network. He goes where he has to. We had a major problem with one particular weather station, which I won't mention without reason (La Crosse), where it would not connect EVEN IF I turned on the microwave. Requires 2.4. Maybe there is a way in the system to force 2.4 instead of 5. Also, I sometimes try to turn off the wifi for my daughters. The Disney Circle option, while ok, isn't perfect, and it would be a lot better if Orbi told what it could do. that would be good. I turned off the signal on the device, and NEVER have any of my children left their room to complain about the lack of signal from the built-in Orbi. On the contrary, no reaction. So I'm wondering if this works at all.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Concerns me
