Very good but be careful if you are planning a wired transport network

Product was great - installed my Orbi satellites quickly and held up perfectly. There is no noticeable impact on WiFi range or reception. However, if you're using a wired transport system (connecting satellites to the Orbi hub via Ethernet instead of WiFi), you might find that you have a very tight twist — almost a pinch — in the Ethernet cable to connect it. to a satellite socket. I used spacers to keep the product 3/4" further from the wall to solve this, which was fine in certain settings, but I imagine I wouldn't want the look in others. Also, please note that this product (and review) is for the original Orbi system only, not the new "Orbi lite" that just launched, which is smaller, cheaper, and doesn't support wired backhaul.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
