Description
Meet Orbi - Fast, Secure, Whole Home WiFi. Orbi is the World’s First Tri-band WiFi System. From your front yard to your home office to your pool, Orbi gives you reliable, secure, and crazy fast WiFi to every inch of your home.
Key Features
- WiFi everywhere: No more dead zones upstairs, no dropped connections through walls, just WiFi everywhere. The Orbi Home WiFi System reaches up to 4,000 square feet through WiFi barriers like walls, stairs and doors. Need more coverage? Just add an Orbi Satellite to instantly expand your WiFi reach.
- Finally, mesh done right: Orbi can grow as you need it with seamless connectivity between devices and Orbi units. Orbi’s Tri-band WiFi System allows your devices to move between bands and other Orbi units without needing to reconnect. Every inch of your home will be covered in a blazing fast network giving you Better WiFi, everywhere.
- Is Orbi a range extender?: No! Range Extenders create multiple WiFi networks to expand your coverage. That means you need to reconnect based on where you are in your home. Orbi creates a single high speed network that gives your entire home complete coverage. Orbi dynamically optimizes your connections for you without having to reconnect.
- Don't wait on buffering: Buffering shouldn’t be a part of family movie night. Orbi helps prevent buffering and lag by creating a high speed Internet superhighway for all of your devices. The Orbi Tri-band WiFi System works with your current ISP’s modem to maximize the speed you are paying for.
- Quick and easy setup: Unlike some WiFi systems, Orbi works with your Internet service provider right out of the box. You won’t need to change your current equipment to use the Orbi WiFi Home System. Orbi uses a single WiFi name (SSID) and with just a couple of clicks, your secure WiFi network will be ready in no time.
- Circle App: Circle is a smart way for families to manage content and time online, on any connected device. Managed by the easy-to-use Circle app, families can create unique profiles for each family member and easily set time limits for apps and websites, individual filter levels for family members, BedTime for each family member, pause internet by device or user, and manage your family's mobile devices across all networks and much more...*
*Some features require Circle Premium Subscription - sold separately.

Fast and Easy
Very easy to install and creates a super fast network. The router has plenty of processing power (my DSL throughput increased by 20-40% over my previous router) and the network easily covers my entire home. Throughput from the satellite to the main router is excellent and my streaming media now starts playing instantly without waiting for it to buffer. All in all I'm very happy with my Orbi.

Excellent high speed cover for a big house!
Excellent router with plenty of advanced features, excellent wi-fi coverage at 5GHz throughout a big two story house with plenty of brick walls to slow it down. Get high speed cover through out. Easy and fast set-up and install. Expensive for a good reason... quality product that deliver excellent results. Highly recommended

Excellent wifi!
I moved house 3 weeks ago. My house is full of gamers and the NBN box is at front of the house. My son and I are gaming and streaming at the back of the house. Since our Orbi arrived we have had no problems with lag in our gaming or streaming. We have one tv running foxtel off wifi, another running a PS4 constantly and myself on the PC online gaming or netflixing. The Orbi can certainly handle it all with no lag spikes! Easy set up as well as a magic app on your phone so you can disconnect children with the touch of a button when they want to argue about doing chores later. Very handy. I love the Orbi!

as good as claimed
My Linksys EA8500 fried after 18 months of ownership and I wanted something as good if not better. After reading the reviews all over the globe and decided to give it a try. range has certainly improved a lot. the UI has a lot more to offer as compared to Linksys. In addition, the built in Disney Circle is a Godsend especially when you have two teenage kids! Only weak point that I can think of now is playing games online is not ideal with Orbi. After all its not designed to gamers anyway. May consider to add on the Nighthawk All in a great purchase for me. Highly recommended.

Whole house access
Very happy with our Orbi AC3000 RBK50 package, we have a large house and it provides WiFi not only throughout every nook and cranny of the house but also outside including connecting 5 WiFi cameras on the external of our house perfectly. Recommend this mesh system over an extended system, I haven't had a need to even look at the system since connecting to it 6 months ago, complete set and forget.

Not perfect but closer than anything else I've eve
OK so these are VERY expensive but don't immediately rule out the Orbi. I'm a bit of a tech head, run my own servers, etc, etc. This is by far the best home wireless system I have ever seen, even without the second unit turned on, this reaches all over or 3/4 acre block. Nothing seems an obstacle.

Best wifi I have used
My converted warehouse is notoriously difficult for wifi (could be all the steel-trusses across the living areas) but the Orbi nailed it ! Great reception everywhere. Installation very simple, and software is very easy to use, with plenty of features. The other surprise is that it has not needed a "reboot" since installing several months ago! My previous wifi would drop out, and I needed to reboot regularly. The Orbi also LOOKS very cool, much nicer than typical computer gear... I highly recommend the Orbi

excellent coverage and speed
I upgraded from 2 x Netgear R7000 and couldn't be happier. This covers my large double story house and gives me full speed for my cable internet everywhere even in the backyard. Having only one SSID means i don't have to worry about connecting to my upstairs network to get full speed anymore.
The initial setup was a little tricky and wasn't a plug in and play like what the box said thats why it only gets 4 stars instead of 5. But after some googling and restarting my modems it worked.
