Almost perfect.
The bridge mode is impossible to set up from the Android application. If you follow the guide provided you end up with two separate networks, one IP range for wired and another range for wifi6. To activate the bridge mode which corrects this bad setting, you need to access the Orbi router through a browser and its IP...
Pro
- Very good coverage.
Contra
- Incomplete Android application.
Router with decent range and speed thanks to the satellites
Pro
- Range: Satellites connect mostly without interference in 3-storey house with reinforced concrete floors
- Speed thanks to WIFI 6
Contra
- Connectivity of the satellites: disconnect from the main router from time to time
Expectations not well met
Our 4.5 room flat measures about 120m2, so neither big nor small. Quite normal on average.
Since the router is in the distribution box and therefore somewhat shielded, I got this Orbi to have flawless WLAN coverage throughout the flat. The setup is relatively simple and certainly a plus point.
With two devices (1x in the living room and 1x in the back room), the Wi-Fi coverage is okay, but definitely not outstanding. In addition, the Accespoint in the room keeps flashing. After several hours of searching for the cause, I have not found a solution or even why it flashes blue. It's relatively tedious at night.
I have therefore removed it and only the "May device" is running in the living room. The WLAN coverage is now miserable in the back two rooms. With 120m2, all on the same floor and open, I find that relatively weak.
Before, I had the original SWISSCOM repeater in the living room and WLAN was fine in the rooms.
For this Orbi device, it's rather embarrassing.
Can at least this device therefore rather not recommend.Pro
- simple setup

Unstable, useless
Since I got the mesh, it brings me nothing but frustration. I constantly have to stare at the pink light, although my use-case is absolutely not complex, not big, but not small enough for 1 AP to be enough. It is impossible to set up this network in a medium sized flat to have normal, uninterrupted internet for 1 day. Very disappointing product.
Pro
- Quick
Contra
- Unstable
- Constant off and on plugging
- Bright LEDs at night as soon as it reconnects for the 20th time
- Support from netgear for this is chargeable
