## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: I have mixed feelings about this expensive tech - Good for small commercial perhaps? - The dream - is fast, solid, stable WI-FI in every room, with not much messing about during setup, and no need to switch from network to network. You are thinking to yourself "I want to just go up and down stairs, out to the shed, down the garden and in the garage on my WI-FI network. I Just want to connect and not think about it" - Well YES, this product will do that. Its fast, and once its working (read on) its really solid, sometimes my devices choose a weird base point to join, so for example, a printer in my office (next to an access point) has decided to connect to the living room base point which is a long way away ... it works its just odd? Can I change the default base station for a device ? No. I do like the guest network settings, so if you have a cafe, or B&B and you want to use EPOS and "private" devices such as laptops, tablets, Sonos speakers for example, then the private network is perfect. Then you can simply create another "guest" network with a different password and give different access to people. The setup was great - (but there is a down side so read on) - This system uses a wizard to set you up, it works and it took the pain out of it. BUT. a big BUT... If you want to play Jazz with it, like fiddle with settings, or do some pro setup of your network then you are going to be disappointed. It does it one way and that it... It works perfectly (mostly) but it's very restricted. Something that is REALLY GOOD, is the switch handling - So I have a load of devices, like Philips Hue, Smartthings, Hive heating, NAS storage boxes, Sonos devices, and the all need a base station type connections somewhere. With a Cable to a router somewhere. So buy a cheap Netgear (or whatever) un-managed switch like "NETGEAR 8 Port Gigabit Network Switch GS108 £25 on desertcart" and just plug everything in, then connect it to a single Ethernet port on the ORBI base station - and wow wow wow it just all works. If you want to tinker and play jazz (read on) you can't - it works but there is no controls you to touch - that might sound like heaven or hell depending on your skill level ! It is very restricted to "home users" with kids... The safety settings, and internet restrictions are powerful but pointless if you just trust your family or want "normal" internet. I turned on Parental controls by accident, and when I tried to turn it off I managed to lock everyone (including myself) out of the internet. Support gave me nothing useful (using my phone 3g to access) so in the end I did a hardware reset to factory setting and started all over again. Painful day that was.... Not sure I like the Rewards feature of the parental controls - granting "internet time rewards" for good behaviour sound like a house I would not like to grow up in.... but I am old and have no children so I will let you be the judge of this feature. Here is the BIG negative. - Netgear I expected better. - This system is basically only compatible with itself. There are lots and lots of NETGEAR ORBI models and kits, too many to count, and basically they all do the same thing - some faster, some with more concurrent connections, newer models with more whizzy stuff but in principal all doing the same job. EACH SYSTEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE OTHER - RBK752, RBK762 base stations and extension points will not work with other Netgear Obi systems - you have to have the exact model from a look up table on Netgears website to extend the system. That has got to be deliberate ! I only found out this when I purchased an extra pair of satellite range extenders which looked identical but were not compatible - I Had to return them. BAD NEWS - I could not buy single or even (at the time) double satellites that were compatible with my existing ORBI system- even though it was pretty new, so after only 9 months, even though nothing was faulty with them at all, I had to but this system again NEW because it was the only way to get my hands on compatible satellites to extend the range. BOOoo Netgear. For a system that is supposed to be fully extendable, and totally "capable" of connecting everything together, that's is job at the end of the day, I fail to see why NETGEAR have chosen to build in incompatibility into their systems with no way to join or extend freely from the range. With the benefit of hind site - I should have just paid a lot less for a mesh network, I don't know how much better this is for the money, but I help a friend set up a DecoAX3000 the other day and it was brilliant, at a quarter of the cost. I don't expect that to last a lifetime but I can buy one every two years for a decade for the price of the ORBI !
Review: Great wifi 6 kit at a bargain price - I recently purchased an Orbi RBK352 system (1 x base unit & 1 satellite) as a Christmas present for my daughter. I had previously done some research as to the best systems on the market and Which had given this Orbi system a 90% top rating. The router in her house is on the opposite side to her office, where the wifi is absolutely woeful. As I'm going to be installing this on Christmas Eve, I thought I'd try it out in my own house first, just to make sure there were no 'hidden' issues. My daughter and husband aren't really 'techie' so I'll just be setting it up in 'Access Point' mode. It really is plug and play. I setup the base unit first - the instructions were clear and took a couple of minutes to change the mode. I then connected the base unit to my BT HomeHub6. Using the Orbi app on my smartphone, I checked the connection. I had internet (150Mbps) and my wifi connection was 856Mbps. Perfect! I now took the satellite and set it up in my loft, which is about as far away as you can get from my router. I plugged it in and synced it with the base unit - it took a couple of minutes to connect. Reception brilliant! The wifi in my own house isn't that good but now it's great. So I'm keeping it! I've just had to go out and buy another Orbi system for my daughter's Christmas present. I work in IT, and for my own house, I wanted to use the base unit in 'router' mode to replace my BTHomeHub6. That's where I came across a few 'issues'. Whilst it is possible to replace the BTHomeHub with a separate modem (expensive - and not an option for me), it took quite a few Google searches to find out how best to leave the BTHomeHub6 in place as a primary router and setup the Orbi base unit as a secondary router. A more knowledgeable IT friend of mine explained that I just needed to setup the Orbi on a separate subnet and everything would work fine, which it did. There was no information on the Netgear site to help me regarding this issue. This is a great piece of kit which I highly recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ So expensive but so worth it
*by D***N on 12 May 2021*

So, the only reason I've given this product 4 out of 5 stars is because it's so expensive. Apart from that, this device has solved so many problems. I am so happy with it. I have a lot of internet enabled devices in my smart home. My old router wasn't coping. Facetime was breaking up. Devices were losing connections. Streaming services were stop/start/stop/start. Enter Orbi ... You put your old router into modem mode (Consult your ISP for details on this), connect your Orbi to your router (now acting as a modem), and follow the setup procedure in the app. It's actually quite a simple setup procedure. I had it all up and running in no time. Now I'm getting maximum speed from everywhere, including the bathroom. All of my devices are connected, working and responding quickly and reliably. Facetime is high quality, stable and clear. The only issue I've had is with a network drive which sometimes doesn't seem to respond. I'm still investigating that. At one point I tried to get tech support using chat on the app. I got in the queue and then it told me some time later, moving down the queue, that support was not available. So thumbs down for that. The system seems stable. I've only had it 2 days and not really had any problem with it. But, it has only been 2 days, so I've taken a star off for stability just in case. So, in conclusion, my advice is ... take a deep breath, pay the money (As a general piece of advice, I would say never buy anything on credit. Save up for it. Don't get yourself into debt on credit cards, overdrafts etc), get the Orbi and enjoy trouble free WiFi.
