True wireless Gig-Speed!
After doing some research on which WiFi mesh systems could support gig-speed on both the 2.4 and 5GHz frequencies, I purchased the AX6000. It boasted up to 1,200 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and up to $2,400 Mbps on the 5GHz. Although I didn’t have any wireless device that could support WiFi 6 (until just now) I was pulling down 940Mbps wired to my laptop. With my new iPh...

Great coverage, poor connectivity
When I purchased the RBK852 (2 pack), I was trying to be future-proof. It has wonderful advertised features. So I installed it to my home. The setup was easy, but slow. It will literally take 2 minutes or longer, just to figure out if a satellite is available. Doing everything in a phone app is convenient.

Help!
This purchase replaced a previous Orbi system. Compared to the old system, this was more difficult to install. I used the app as instructed. Could not get two computers, two printers and cell phone to work with this new system. After hours on the phone with support, systems now operational.

Easy setup, great signal
I set it up in an hour. Easy. Great signal throughout, and our HP printer, which had become largely unavailable, is back. Thanks. Worth every penny!

Great product, worth the price
Very easy to install, no detailed configuration necessary. And results in a really fast network, even with a lot of devices connected . Very happy with this.

Range and Reliability
Had for years better than newer orbis with smaller footprint. I have a 1914 solid brick house with plaster walls and a solid concrete foundation 2 floors plus a finished basement. And detached garage I have no issues with 3 of the orbi 853s

Great system!
We had a mesh system, but the technology outgrew it. This system brought us back up-to-speed! Very easy to set-up and has improved usage throughout the house.

Great Mesh System
fantastic router system, speeds are fast, super easy to setup, I've had Orbi Mesh system for a while and decided it was time for an upgrade from 6 year old router, definitely worth it.

Too many security drawbacks to ignore
Too many security drawbacks to ignore. Just to start... Why can I not hide the ssid name? I mean, this is security 101. From there is gets even worse. Why can I not bind a client to a specific satellite? I had a client defaulting to a super weak satellite signal when there was a much stronger signal from the one 10ft away frm them.
So many other issues...

Impressive performance
I don't think I can tell anything that's not been written about it.
The range is very good. The amount of networks in the area is probably diminishing too.
I am not gonna pull a star for this because I don't think it would make any difference, but I would've gone a step further to the rb860 and have WiFi 6e with it. A little disappointing that its not possible for...

Maximize Your Home Internet
After setup was complete, there was an obvious increase to the responsiveness of my home internet and network on all my connected devices. Purchase the Pro Support Pkg. along with the equipment. I needed help from Pro Support to complete the set up of my system. It’s well worth the modest expense.

Great mesh system that was easy to setup
this is an upgrade from a nighthawk unit. We needed to switch to a mesh system because our older system could not reach the length of our house. We switched and now we can cover the whole house with out any issues streaming.

Orbi 850 is Fantastic
Easy to install. Replaced an older Nighthawk router with a system speed test as high as 120 - The Orbi RBK853 Model 850 has a speed test of 470. Unbelievable!
