Review on NETGEAR RBK30-100NAS Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi System – Easy setup, Wireless Router Alternative, No WiFi Dead Zones, Compatible with by Brian Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Installation by a layman in 10 minutes

I'm not just giving 5 stars because I have WiFi on my 2,900 square meters. ft, not to mention I can sit outside on the patio and work too, but on the best of days I have tech issues and I got this up and running at my house in about 10 minutes. I have an Xfinity router at home and use the Netgear Extender which was great but didn't reach the top and as you moved around the house you switched networks which sometimes caused problems with my Fire tablet. Also, I couldn't sit outside. I installed Echos around the house and none of the upstairs devices could find the network. Orbie comes to the rescue. I made sure to follow the community suggestion to mod the Xfinity router first before doing anything else. It was very easy to install, change the network name, connect and run the extension. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Practical item
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
