Netgear Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 Add-on Satellite (RBS850) Works with Your Orbi WiFi 6 System Adds up to 2,500 sq. ft. Coverage AX6000 (Up to 6Gbps), White

Kind of the best budget option for me to cover around 4k sqft. across 3 floors. Coverage is great but not as promised on paper, plus sometimes it has problems switching between routers/satellites or providing consistent speeds to remote corners. The higher budget options work awesome and many of these issues have improved with firmware upgrades. Overall happy with the purchase, gets the work done.

I bought this satellite to add to my existing Orbi RBK50 network. The coverage has imrpoved and there are no deadspots now. I get the same download speeds over my WiFi as my ISP allows - 300Mbps. All 3 units work as one and ensures a single SSID network spans my home. So no disconnections even if I move from one area to another while on a video call or conference within my home. Not once the router had to be restarted after its latest firmware upgrade that was done 6 months back. Reliable and steady performance and I am happy with it.

Good after sales support, very organized. No complaints, fast connection. An investment that is worth it.

Just wanted to get this out there, although the experience you are going to get from this is going to depend on the network setup you have.So it all started when I decided to go cheap. My first choice was google mesh, but came with a hefty price tag, so I looked up orbi and sure enough there are plenty of paid youtube reviews that highly recommended it, and I fell for it.To be clear I started off with the rbk40 system 1 router and 1 satellite. And everything was going really well, but then I needed to expand my network to the next floor, so I ordered the rbs20 sat.PROBLEM 1: My router gets 200mbps, but my orbi satellites on a good day give me 60-70mbps. Yes its plenty, but by that logic someone with a 30mbps plan will get 9mbps in reality, which shows how bad the mesh performance is.If I place the satellites within 20 feet of each other, I get the full 200, but then I would require 4 satellites, just to reach the upper floor.PROBLEM 2: Now the second problem has cropped up only after the return period has lapsed. The rbs 20 keeps disconnecting every couple of hours, and once it does, I either have to go and manually press the sync button, or I have to restart the unit.PROBLEM 3: Yes they have an app, if you can call it that. It's so useless that you will only use it to reboot the network, that too if you are connected to the satellite. Lol in my case I can't, if my rbs 20 is disconnected. So at that time if I have to use the orbi app I have to go to the ground floor so that the other satellite can see my phone.Guys please do your research better. I do not recommend this sub standard product. Everyday, I wish I could return this.

I have 4 satellites and 1 router now for a full coverage of my home. Adding a new satellite is breeze and they pair among themselves dor daisy chaining or star topology. This way router can be placed somewhere with all its wiring and then these satellites can be mounted on walls with broader and deeper range and away from any mischief.

I received a previously opened box with the contents haphazardly packed send with a power adapter that was not compatible with Indian wall sockets. With great difficulty, I could activate a request for replacement. Got the replacement yesterday. New piece of course, again with WRONG power adapter.

I am using the Orbi Mesh Network system (1 Router and 2 Satellites) in my apartment and my experience has been excellent in terms of seamless coverage. Range of each unit gets limited in a major way if there are walls and hence I have 2 satellites to cover my entire apartment. But coverage is seamless when you move around the house with the device. Download speeds are also good for various streaming devices kept around the house. Of course, it's a bit on the expensive side.

The product is great and has been using a pair for over 6 months with no issues.Bought one more satellite for the office this week as the walls are too thick.If buying the product in India, pls take note I got a used piece from Appario Retail Private Ltd it was not sealed packed...for the price I paid, I would have expected a new sealed piece.

Fácil de instalar, desde que salió esta tecnología me ayudo a cubrir todos los puntos de casa y jardín.

Don't buy this product. The hardware is great. When it works, it works wonderfully. However, as of the date of this post, the Orbi has been crippled by its firmware for around three weeks. Appreciating that a firmware update can have unintended consequences, and hoping that a fix may be forthcoming, Netgear's completely inadequate handling of the situation suggests to me that this company is one you will not want to trust going forward.I purchased this product about 6 months ago. I have a system with a router and two satellites. At first, all was good. The setup was particularly easy. Some users reported occasional drops on ios and android devices which they attributed to the Orbi. I experienced some drops, but nothing particularly troublesome and who knows if it was the Orbi. Functionality always restored quickly, and my overall coverage was so much improved that I was very happy. Eventually, Netgear pushed a firmware update, and my measured wifi speeds dramatically decreased with distance away from the router. Logging in to the router, it was clear that the two satellites had ceased to communicate with the router/hub. Every effort to wipe, reset, and resync the system was useless. Tech support should have been aware of the firmware problem within a day or so but continued to obliviously suggest doomed-to-fail efforts to reset and resync. Eventually, after 4 or 5 hours of escalated phone support, the support technician acknowledged what should have been completely obvious, there was a firmware problem, and there was no ETA on the fix. On my last call, I was told it "should be about a week." That was about 4 days ago, but I am not holding my breath.As it stands, with the new firmware, my system is not a mesh network at all. It is a single access point with two dead satellites. For weeks now, the Orbi has done nothing more than the cable modem/router it replaced. It is possible to manually roll back the system to older firmware. After a roll back, all is in order and running great. What is really infuriating is that Netgear, in its wisdom, configured the Orbi to auto update firmware in a manner that cannot be turned off or blocked. So, you can roll back the firmware and have a working mesh system that breaks itself in a day or two after auto updating. Netgear support advised that preventing users from stopping the auto update was a feature for easy operation. Thanks for that Netgear. A big ol' rock is also easy to operate and is as useful to my network as the Orbi satellites.You will see some good reviews here. Aside from shills, those are understandable. The hardware once worked terrifically, and some users claim the newest firmware works for them. Don't believe it. Maybe you will get lucky, but my experience is that Netgear pushed firmware that made my system completely non-functional then hid from the problem while I wasted hours on support calls. Even if you get lucky, do you want to deal with a company that forces autoupdates of broken firmware? You don't. If you are still tempted, take a look at the Orbi message boards maintained by Netgear. You will see almost a month of upset users postings with no meaningful response from the company. Netgear could simply disable autoupdates or push the older firmware while it works on a fix. For whatever reason, this company prefers a strategy of radio silence.I believe that Amazon should delist this product, at least while so many users continue to report that it is not functioning for any aspect of its intended purpose.UPDATE: After posting this review, Netgear replaced both of my satellites. Counterintuitively, this seems to have fixed my system. It has only been up and running for a few days. I have experienced a couple of wifi drops, but I have not reached a conclusion as to whether I expect this to be a frequent problem. There is still no new firmware, there is still no way that I can determine to get around the firmware auto updates, and there are still apparently folks with non-functioning systems posting in the forums. I would like to see Netgear address these issues. If my system stays functioning well for a fair period of time, I will definitely up my one star review. When it works, it is a FLAMETHROWER. If Netgear fixes the underlying issues with the firmware in a way reproducible for all users, it would really be a top-notch product.UPDATE (12/22/17): I am changing my initial 1-star to a 4-star. The new firmware is, in fact, working great. Per my earlier review, when this system is working, it is hard to beat. The new firmware is killing it. I used conventional range extenders before, and there was always a huge drop in performance with the extenders. This Orbi system has fast speeds everywhere even at the farthest reaches of my property. Compared to old-fashioned range extenders, it's like magic. The satellites, which once did not work at all, are suddenly very stable. I also just received the firmware push including the Circle parental control feature, and that is a really great surprise added bonus. I do think users of network products need more control over firmware, and the several weeks I spent with a non-functioning system due to a push of bad firmware really prevents me from a full 5-stars at this point. I still have a bad taste in my mouth from that experience, but it is going away. I am loving this system today. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others.

Buyers beware. If you buy this product and are on firmware V1.12.0.18 you will run into this terrible bug where all Satellites will show up as attached devices instead of Satellites. I purchased a second Satellite a few months back to increase the range of my Wifi through my backyard. Instead, I ran into this bug that you will hear a lot in Netgear Community.After adding my second Satellite, I noticed that both my Satellites were showing up as attached devices under the router list. Logging into the Satellite shows it has the appropriate firmware, but it says both 2.4 and 5Ghz radios are disabled. They both say "Wireless AP: Off".Several people in the Netgear Community have pointed out a workaround of doing a factory reset but if you power off the Satellite and move it to another location you will run into this bug where they will show up as attached devices instead of Satellites. Making your Satellites pretty much useless.If you downgrade the firmware you will have your router and Satellites working for some time, until the auto-firmware update kicks in and you will run into this bug again.There are workarounds on Netgear community to enable Telnet and then disable auto updater. That will help you install an earlier version of firmware and prevent V1.12.0.18 from auto updating. For an expensive product such as this, Netgear is surely not in any rush to provide a fix. I have a support case open with them for three weeks now, still waiting to hear back from their engineers.If I had the option to go back, I would have selected Google Wi-Fi over Orbi.08/28/2017: Update to my review. After working with Netgear Support they RMA my Router and both Satellites. It has been a little over a week now, the new units have been working fine on the latest v.1.12.0.18 firmware. Hopefully, their engineers are able to identify the root cause of this issue from the Router and Satellite that I have sent over and provide a fix. I will update my review once I hear back from Netgear for my open support case.08/31/2017: Netgear has provided a beta release for the bug I have mentioned in my earlier review. I have not tested this beta release as the RMA units have been functioning normally. Expect a official patch from Netgear for the Orbi Satellites soon. From my conversation with Netgear support, I gathered the issue is relevant to older units and does not affect newer units. The fix will resolve older units from running into the bug I mentioned above.Changing my review from "I hate it" to "I like it." Product itself is excellent when it works as advertised. My goal was to expand Wifi throughout my backyard and have a Satellite close to my Wifi sprinkler controller. The only way to accomplish that without wiring was either buy an extender or add another Satellite. Orbi works excellently, I hardly see any drop in speed when I move from one floor to another.It would be nice if Netgear can offer an option that prevents their products from auto updating. An option to select the auto update feature or disable it. It helps when you run into issues like the one I mentioned in my initial review.

Connexion hyper facile. rendu efficace.

Tutto ok ottimo prodotto consigliatissimo 👍
