NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi System (RBK13) – Router Replacement Covers up to 4,500 sq. ft. with 1 Router & 2 Satellites

Connected my starlink to this and it works perfectly, super easy to setup as in DIY level easy. It's plug and play. the signal has been stable and i have zero complaints.

For a non tech person like me, this system was easy to set up, it works well and definitely increased our WiFi coverage throughout our home, especially in the basement

We've had this Netgear Orbi Mesh system installed for more than six weeks in a 3200 sq ft, 2 story house. The router module is next to the computer and internet cable modem at one extreme end of the first floor and next to the back wall of the house.. The 1st satellite is in the middle front of the house about 30ft straight line away through 4 walls including a laundry room and kitchen and the related metal appliances. The 2nd satellite is nearly straight above the 1st on the 2nd floor but against the front house wall. After having to work through the install and syncing procedure a few times, the Orbi performs quite well. Wifi strength is greatly improved upstairs where we had very noticeable problems previously. On some devices the signal was almost non-existent. This mesh system now seems to provide as strong a signal upstairs as we previously had downstairs. We are happy. Definitely a good buy. And, to avoid confusion, it appears that the Orbi RBK-13, as advertised, is the same as the Orbi AC-1200. Don't ask why. Interestingly, we did have two instances where one or the other satellite lost it's good connection (status light turned yellow) but that was quickly resolved by re-syncing (pressing the router sync button on the back, then press the sync button on the back of the satellite, and then wait several minutes for the blue light to re-establish. Maybe similarly, we also had two instances of lost power for which the system re-established itself without human help. Great. Humans get worn out. Lastly, tech support did not respond to the only email I sent. Eventually found the answer needed in the manual. The mobile app is ok and since we've so far chosen to keep it simple, we've really not needed it nor the Amour protection they hope to sell you.

To give you context for this review, I am an electrical engineer with 50 year experience with computers and other devices - designing them as well as using them. So... Once I got this up and running it seems to work very well. Definitely better than what I had before. However, getting it up and running was a royal pain. I had to run through their procedure many times to finally get it going. Basically did the same thing every time, following their directions each time. One time it started giving me notices that it had blocked the phone I was using to set it up with due to some malicious attack! Finally I was able to get through all the steps of the setup and have everything work properly - doing the same steps every time. Obviously the setup procedure needs work. Then there is the note in the directions that if one uses the same SSID and password other devices would automatically reconnect. WRONG! While they did try to connect to the same WiFi network I had to reenter the password on each and every device. Finally, don't believe the sped test. It is testing the connectivity speed/quality of the base station through the modem to your ISP. Usually, what you really want is to see what is happening at the device you are using. While my ORBI speed test on the phone app says 250M, my remote devices range anywhere from 45M to 100M - depending on how far each is from one of the base or satellites. I suppose the phone test is useful when determining what your network is capable of with multiple users, but beware if you think you will get that number anywhere in the house. Of course, as noted above, these speeds are much better than what I had with my previous router so I am not complaining about that - only that the app test can be misleading and the initial setup was a nightmare. I would have given this five stars if it had my experience was what the ad copy promised. The WiFi access lived up to that promise, but the other issues brought the rating down to a four.

Why is this item taking so long is it cause that its out stock

The product started out good for the first year or so.. but after the warranty period ended nothing but trouble. the product keeps asking to reset the password to remote in to see wifi status via the app constantly dropping.. I had to create a backup SSID on my main router due to this dropping issue (what's the point of doing this when you have a Mesh!!!! :( ) overall experience is not good... Going to try one of these others - Dlink, TP-Link or Linksys... buyer beware......
