NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh Network System (RBK752P) – Router with 1 Satellite Extender, Security Features, Coverage up to 5,000 sq. ft., 75 Devices, AX5200 802.11ax (Up to 5.2Gbps)

The biggest thing to know —if tech isn’t your first language — you plug the main Orbi into your existing router box that’s plugged into the wall. The other Orbi is its “satellite” and helps the internet speed and connection on different floors or areas of the house. This is the WiFi part. This was the easiest home network system I’ve ever hooked up. I’m astounded signal strength is maintained everyone at max right now. The app made it super easy. Signal is FANTASTIC and we have a 4,000+ sq foot house. Only using 2 and strong from corner to corner. I got it all set up within an hour. I love being able to rename the network, label all the connected devices, and control my kid’s individual devices to limit screen time. There’s a pause button next to each connected device listed in the app. If you have a garage hooked to this network be sure to do the travel limits on the door after you change to the new network in your garage door opener app (it’s a safety feature) Then it will connect. This was the only hurdle I encountered. And found results with Reddit and a quick YouTube video. Netgear, I’m super happy so far. Thanks for making a solid product.

I replaced an older set of Orbi's (slower) with this new set. They are must faster and give me the full band width of my provider through out my home. Setup was easy as I had a learning curve from my original set. I did experience one problem: I have a long house. My internet connection comes into one end of the house. I set the main router there and put two satellite units inline down the centerline of the house. The second satellite unit (furthest away from the main unit) does not connect to the intermediate placed unit. Rather it connects to the main router--sometimes with 'good' reception and other times with 'poor' reception. After a couple of hours with Orbi tech help, I found out that the satellite units always tries to connect to the main router, even if another satellite is providing a stronger signal--supposedly 'this provides a faster connection.' Do not understand why this is the case since I do get a 'poor' connection to the main router at times on the second satellite unit. Looks like I wasted my money on getting a second satellite unit. Even with this problem, I am getting full bandwidth throughout the house.

Had to change out my router after over a decade. I should have done so sooner! These have been amazing and easy to use. They have been stable, have a great range and the mesh system is a game changer! I bought refurbished and besides a great price they looked and worked as if new. Setup was so easy and the app walked you through the process. I used the same network name and the was a seamless transition for my old devices to jump on network.

After having an Orbi extender in the past, when it finally wore out after many years, we thought just getting a new Orbi was a good choice. Boy were we wrong. The base unit does not have a way to hook up the house internet which only comes in on a coaxial cable. All the unit has is an ethernet port. Not to be deterred, we thought maybe we could use the old base unit, and just add the new extender. That is when we discovered the second roadblock; you need to download an app and install from your phone. We don't want an app on our phone. Still, trying to salvage the 1.5 hours already invested in installing this worthless unit, I installed on my phone. That still didn't solve the problem, now we need an administrator password, which the instructions indicate the default administrator password is: password. We tried that, only to receive an error message that it was the wrong password. Tried resetting the administrator password, nope, won't work either. Desperate and frustrated, thinking I had done something wrong installing the app on my phone, we tried it on a second phone. Same problem, need the administrator password, and, spoiler alert, the default password is NOT password. After 4 hours of trying to get this to connect, searching the internet, going to the Orbi site to get some assistance we gave up and decided to return it and buy a much cheaper solution. Unless you are an IT specialist, or know a 10 year old that is, I strongly recommend against this product. The website doesn't specify the connectors needed, and our previous unit had a port for a coaxial cable so we didn't have reason to believe this one wouldn't; the directions are very confusing, the included prompts are wrong and it is a very expensive way to spend 4 hours just to raise your blood pressure without a successful connection.

I bought these to replace my RBR/RBS50. Given the kit is called RBK752P I expected RBR/RBS750, but these are actually RBR/RBS750P which is just the 760 series. They only have 4 radios instead of the 6 found in the model 750s and a much weaker cpu which will lead to long reboot times and slow firmware upgrades. I will update this review in about a week after I decide if I'm going to keep them. EDIT: I guess I'll keep them. They're as good as my RBR50/RBS50 with higher speed (not that my isp can deliver it), and gigabit ethernet ports all around, making it easy to just plug in without wondering what ports only support 10/100. Even though they are labeled RBR/RBS750P, they have the rexact same FCC ID (PY321100530) as the RBR/RBS760. So they're not a new 750 model, they were simply renamed to 750P 2 years after launch. Only 4 stars because I'm still frustrated I was had by deceitful renaming, but they're fine, especially for the price.

Should have done years ago. Speed increase is huge

This device does its job. However, the mobile app is lack luster. Coming from other brands, and for the price that I paid for this; and may have to pay if I want to expand the system, it's not worth it. Internet also drops intermittently; even kids who are barely literate are able to explain to me the quality of service has changed since our replacement. I would not choose this brand again.

I guarantee you that your router isn't performing the way your company promised when the sells pitch was over. Been there done that, we have a rather large home, more than 3,500 square feet and another 1,200 pool and concrete desk area. I don't care which company we were with and all the bells and whistles plus a multitude of promises, we just never had the coverage or guarantees promised. I finally started doing a bit of my own research and calling or stopping by every electronic store in the city and asking questions and normally got the store sells pitch or BS finger pointing exercise. But, when I started talking with the tech/installer people, one name kept coming up for a powerful solution and extender. Best part of my research was that I didn't need the most expensive router aka extender/boaster and could purchase one that covered well over my entire house and property and at a price that didn't require me going into debt for something I truly didn't need. There's three or four models to choose from and I selected the one that covers 5,800 square feet and it covers every inch of my property plus some and max bars even at the maximum range. Now for the best part of this, I'm no techy nerd and have had to give up and hire someone to finally do what I couldn't accomplish when it came to hooking something up. Setting these two extenders up was so simple that I disconnected them and asked the wife to follow the instructions and see if she could do it. Yep, she did it on the first try. Finally we have full WiFi throughout the entire house and across the entire property. If you are considering these extenders, do Not purchase the three extenders just because you "think" you'll need or absolutely have to have the extra power, because surprisingly you'll have more than you'll ever need with two. Additionally, you can always purchase the third one later if you really need to, but doubtfully will have to. Another plus, no more having to give your WiFi password for friends or family when they visit, this device has a temporary password for your company.
