Worst experience so far

I've read a lot about this system and expected superiority. I have a network speed of 1Gbps and when connected to this router via Wi-Fi I get 200Mbps sitting next to the main router. I get good speeds on Ethernet, but Wi-Fi6 was the only one I bought. I have a case with Netgear, I hope they fix it in a week otherwise I'm sending it back.

Pros
  • No more dead zones Whole-home mesh network Wi-Fi coverage of up to 5,000 square feet and 60+ devices Mesh technology helps you stay connected as you roam your home with one network name. Expand coverage up to 2,500 square feet with optional satellites (sold separately)
Cons
  • Security

Highly Reliable Wi-Fi System

I've had this for a few months now. The 2.5G WAN port provides >1Gbps internet support. WiFi speed is very good. The screenshot was taken on an iPhone near the main node. Stability has been excellent so far. I only had to restart once. The range is pretty amazing. It covers over 4,000 square feet with just two nodes, where I needed 3 on previous systems.

Pros
  • Easy setup and management, connects to your existing cable modem, installs and setup in minutes with the orbi app - Easily manage device and network-level Wi-Fi settings, check internet speeds, view speed history and monitor data usage
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

A platform you can't trust

You might think that packet distribution is the most important A router's job, but in the modern world it decides whether the packet should be routed at all. This device cannot do that. This is a known issue and has existed for many years. Netgear technical support cannot say when the issue will be resolved. Problem: Devices can be connected to the router, get full internet service, but never appear in the "Connected Devices" lists and nowhere in the logs. This is a bigger problem than it might

Pros
  • Tri-Band Transport Link: Dedicated band between Orbi router and satellite frees up the other two bands to provide maximum speed for your devices
Cons
  • Waiting too long

Too bad reviews. "SERIOUS "?

I was very skeptical about making this investment due to so many bad reviews. I was looking for a replacement for my Nighthawk router and access point. Setup, user interface, 2.4 devices without connection etc. more than worried me in this price range. I took a leap of faith and invested in RBK853, router and 1 satellite. 1 The satellite is only connected because it is far away and my house is connected to it. The other satellite is wireless as expected. The setup recognized it with no problems

Pros
  • AX6000 WiFi 6 ultra-fast gigabit speed delivers up to 6Gbps for HD video game streaming or internet browsing and downloading Works with existing WiFi devices and new WiFi 6 devices such as iPhone 11 Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10
Cons
  • Discontinued Weak

It's faster than my Spectrum modem

Orbi speed 471.52 Mbps. Spectral modem 433.49 Mbit/s. Excellent coverage - just one modem and one satellite, two devices together, and I love the fact that you can add more as needed, both inside and outside my home. and I live near an acre property

Pros
  • Advanced Cyber Threat Protection: netgear arm (powered by BitDefender) is network-based protection against viruses, malware, fraud, phishing and ransomware on unlimited devices, 30-day free trial (69, 99 USD/year)
Cons
  • Some small things
