Upgraded from TP Link Deco PX50 to Orbi 770 Mesh. Our house is old 1997 with main HVAC running right through the middle of our basement floor then up through main and second floor. I have Xfinity ISP at 2.5gb data plan. 3 x TP Link Deco placed 40 to 60 ft apart on each floor for coverage. Wired or not I would never reach a gig with TP. Wireless signal was unreliable and one of them overheated within a year. My youngest daughter told me to call them inna-net boys to fix our internet. In comes Orbi, premium price for quality of service, ease of setup, and capable of reach in 2.3gb data speeds. The app is super helpful in determining best placement for my the other two Orbi Satellites and wifi signal reception analytics. All of my wired devices are on static IP reaching 2-2.3gb speeds. For wireless in the house it can reach up to 1-1.2gb on the 2nd floor and main floor. Basement 800-900mb. The signal and quality of this Orbi is perfect. All of my iOt devices have a strong connection and everything is protected by NetGear Armor. I certainly recommend this for the person who is looking for consistency, quality, and high service availability. Orbi saved my families life.

For years I was hoping to retire the CAT5 LAN cables between the upper and ground floors of my reinforced concrete abode. As I unboxed these magnificent looking components of a seemingly superior Wi-Fi mesh system my hopes raised especially after being swayed by the raving reviews publicly available on Amazon.com for this product. Like most men, I hunted for the quick start guide or equivalent within the package. The instructions seemed simple enough. But the instructions were imperfect as the Orbi router did not acquire the internet signal nor did the satellite connect to the Orbi router. After a night battling with different variations of interpretation of the quick start guide to no avail, I packed it up for the night. In my sleep, upon dreaming of WI-Fi 6 connectivity throughout my house I awoke restless and eager to try again, this time using the Netgear instructions online. Alas, the router connected to the internet, and after a few minutes of following the instructions, the closely set satellite was transceiving to and from the internet with the aid of the Netgear app on my cell phone. With glee I repositioned the satellite to the ground floor while leaving the Orbi router on the upper floor connected to the internet service provider. Even after reseting the entire system, the signal between the router and the satellite was intermittent and weak with the app detecting the satellite part of the time despite being less than 15ft above each other. Sad to say this system was unfit for my underwhelming purpose.

The product page says that it’s a router plus a satellite when you order and that it’s new. However, I got only the router and there are marks and dents everywhere on this thing. Avoid at all costs.

Using as access point to existing network. It did take a bit of time to get setup. If you do advance networking, you will need to step out of the app and log in directly with a browser. Great speed and coverage. iPhone Wifi hit 1.2G on our 1.2G internet pipe. Well constructed, great quality, excellent performance.

Can not syn my new satellite for 2 hours, After review and tried C&J review, my system work great now, thank you for the help, i repost his post. credit to him. anyone having this problem, follow the step and give this a shot, thank you.5.0 out of 5 stars Advanced setup may be required.Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023Verified PurchaseI've had good luck with my Orbi 750 system but wanted to expand the coverage with this satellite. I spent over 2 hours trying to get this to sync with my system with no luck. This is what I ended up having to do, and id assume this will work for whomever runs into this issue. Start by plugging the new satellite into the Orbi router with an Ethernet cable. Plug the new satellite into power and wait for it to boot up (usually 2 minutes). Wait for the light on the satellite to turn blue and then turn off. At this point open a web browser and log into the Orbis interface (192.168.1.1) enter your username and password when prompted, then select attached devices and find the IP address of the new satellite. Once you've located the new satellites IP address open a new tab and enter the new satellites IP address into the address bar and login (Username:admin/password:password). Once you've logged into the new satellites web interface look for the firmware version and compare it to your existing Orbi firmware. If it doesn't match you need to manually update the new satellite firmware. Open a new tab and search RBS750 firmware. Find the firmware version that matches your current system from the Netgear support site only (not 3rd party). Once you've located the correct firmware download it to your desktop. When it's finished downloading extract the zip file to your desktop. The firmware file will end with .chk . Now go back to the browser tab for the new satellite and select firmware/update Firmware then select browse and navigate to the unzipped folder you downloaded and select the file ending .chk and update. This process can take up to 19 minutes. Once the satellite is finished and there is no light coming from the new satellite unplug it from your router and place where you want it and plug it back into power. After the light on the new satellite finishes blinking it should go blue for a moment then off. If the placement is poor you may get an amber light instead of blue and magenta if it's too far from the Orbi router. This is how I got mine to work, I hope this helps someone in the same situation. After all this it works great for me.

Funcionan de maravilla en el interior manteniendo las altas velocidades de internet 5G que tienes contratadas, antes me alejaba 3 mts del modem y perdía el 40% de velocidad y en la mayor parte de la casa no llegaba el 5G solo el 2.4 y con un 10% de la velocidad contratada y en muchas áreas no había señal en lo absoluto, ahora conservo más del 95% de velocidad 5G en cualquier parte de la casa incluso en las áreas que antes no tenia internet, lo recomiendo al 100%, lo único que no me gusto fue el precio

Mi casa es de tres niveles y con el sistema se nos acabo el problema de no tener señal. Toda la casa queda cubierta, se mantiene una velocidad estable y buena y acepta varios dispositivos conectados.

The description says this is 100-240V, but the unit I got is only 110V. If you live in a place with only 220V, then this unit is NOT usable. I had to request a return, which is not a fun process. It is been three weeks now and the request is still pending...

If money is no object and strong reliable WiFi signal is the objective, this is the solution. Like many, I’ve transitioned to a work from home environment and more than ever need a strong reliable WiFi signal at home. For the first few months working remotely, I was fine using the dining room table as a make shift home office, but that was a temporary solution. I eventually relocated my home office to a spare bedroom on another floor. The relocation was an improvement in my personal life, but my internet speed suffered. Significantly. I was dropping calls, had slow download speed and needed to find a solution. Initially, I opted for a simple, inexpensive WiFi extender/repeater. The WiFi extender/repeater worked fine for a couple weeks and seemed like a reasonable solution. I actually reviewed that product very favorably. For the price (less than $50), it was a reasonable attempted solution, but like the dining room table as my home office, the repeater was a temporary solution. It required a shadow second network and the connection would bounce in and out. The repeater was a bandaid; I needed stable reliable internet for video conferences, data heavy downloads and uploads and I was paying for a lot that I wasn’t getting in certain areas of my home — mainly, my new home office! The WiFi extender worked, but only gave me about 60% of the signal I was paying for. I looked at Upgrading my internet package and then looked at a mesh system. The Orbi system was literally 10x the price of my prior bandaid, but WOW! 10x as good. Problem solved. Solid, stable, strong, reliable WiFi signal in every nook and cranny of my home. I went from unstable 60% signal strength to a blanket of strong reliable 99% WiFi connectivity throughout my home. I obsessively checked and rechecked Speedtest.net — bingo! No bouncing in and out. No checking which bandwidth or competing for signal; this product provides strong, solid, stable, complete WiFi signal through out the home. I’m thrilled and can’t believe I paid so much, but also can’t believe I wasted my time and money on anything else. The Orbi is next generation awesome. Easy set up, same network and while I worried I would need more of the signal/units to cover my 3000 sq/ft home given the experience with the WiFi extender/repeater, I did not. One router and one signal was plenty for my concrete 3 story home with the router tucked in the basement and office on third story. The app is easy to use, intuitive and frustration free. I am no tech guru and I had zero problems installing or making it work. This is a no brainer for anyone that needs a reliable blanket of WiFi signal through out their home. I considered other mesh systems but read reviews, did research and decided that this system was an investment in the next generation technology and would last the longest. With out question, it is among the most expensive solutions, but I have complete confidence that it is the best solution on the market at the time of this review. The WiFi signal strength in my home is now so strong that the WiFi picks up outside. If you have money to burn and are demanding of excellence, this is 100% the way to go. I read dozens of articles and watched and read reviews and talked to every tech person I knew before sucking it up and crushing my internet speed problem. If you are on the fence, go for it.
