I was somewhat hesitant to purchase this product because of the price. Our house has sprayfoam insulation making wiring access points near impossible. Our house is also three stories and 3,000 square feet. Our old mesh system had a plethora of issues, dropped signals, bandwidth interference, low wifi speeds, always needing a reboot. Working from home became a challenge. Once I got this system up and running we haven't had an issue since. With our gig internet connection wifi speeds are a degree of magnitude faster than before with no dead spots. Our zoom calls no longer drop, people can be streaming, downloading, transferring files with no issues. I'm seriously impressed. App is easy and intuitive to use, and setting the system up was a snap. The broadcast range on these units are impressive. We have one unit plugged in on the bottom floor, and one unit on the top. Getting some peace of mind working from home makes these units worth the price.

I have been setting up networks for 30 years and thought I wanted to try this unit because of all the claims that is was the best. I was upgrading from a Amplyfi unit which I had been pleased with, but was expanding my coverage and had read great things about the new Orbi 9600. Set up went fairly easily but the ethernet ports on the unit were not active. They would give an IP, but not connectivity. A after lots of reading and a firmware upgrade, the ports started working, but the WiFi was incredibly slow. After a bunch more reading it was suggested to do a hard reset. At this point I was pretty put out with what is one of the most expensive WiFi Apps around and learning that after a firmware update you have to hard reset the unit. But I did and the WiFi was fast again. But the ports quit working again. If I had not waiting so long after purchase to set this up, I would have returned this unit at this point. The app for this unit has very few of the features available and after more reading I decided to access the unit with a browser. Many more features offered here. While neither the app or the web browser access said there were any more firmware updates, the website did so I followed the instructions to do a manual firmware upgrade. At this point I concluded this was the most difficult WiFi AP I have ever set up. Especially since after updating the firmware it locked my laptop out of the Router. No more browser access. I had to use a mobile device to login with a browser, allow access to the dozen or so devices that it randomly decided to disallow access and reboot the unit. This final firmware update did resolve the port connectivity issue and the WiFi is fast again. Updateing the firmware in the satellite unit was equally as difficult, having to access the unit independently via a browser. There is no way I can recommend this unit to anyone who is not very technically included and patient. I cannot believe any home users can plug and play with this unit. It is incredibly expensive so you would expect it to be intuitive and simple to use, but it is not. By far, the most difficult unit to setup and use. I would not buy this again. Would even sell it if someone wants it. Frustrated I paid so much for it.

Switching from a $750 monthly WiFi bill for my business to a single network solution was a game-changer. The old router was clearly subpar, but the Orbi effortlessly manages my customers’ needs, especially for my brewery/restaurant with self-serve QR codes. WiFi is vital to my business, and this router has consistently delivered reliability and blazing speed. My speeds went from 400mbps to over 1100mbps, a level I didn’t think was achievable. Setting it up was a breeze, thanks in part to hardwiring the satellites to the router. I replaced my old router and modem with the Orbi, followed the app’s straightforward setup, and it was well worth the investment.

Only complaint is the cost. There are much cheaper options but this actually works great.
