Been hankering for a Netgear Orbi for years. Decided now was the time but sorry to say it has been a disappointment...at least for my use. First the good things. The hardware is an absolute beast and blasts out a signal across the house and into my yard. Left my previous mesh router in its dust. Also, setup is reasonable simple but took about 15 or so minutes to work through the wizard on the app. App, incidentally is clear and uncluttered but also lacking in a lot of features to fine tune and control the Orbi. Need too use the web interface on the computer for that. Now what I didn't like. Be aware that the security features touted in its description all come at a price. You get a trial of 30 days and after that, $99.99 per year (auto renewal). Also, Parental controls are not supplied but will cost you as well. During my 30 day trial, I was nagged how some of my devices were accessing sites known for spamming (they're not really). Blocking these decreased the functionality of the device. One of my laptops kept disconnecting from the internet (it remained connected to the Orbi though?) after about ten minutes of use and you would have to "forget" the connection and then reconnect it before going through the cycle again. Two other devices wouldn't even connect at all. Maybe this was a setting issue or incompatibility with legacy devices and WiFi6? Don't know but after a few hours of troubleshooting and resetting, I gave up on it. Maybe it would be different for others but I returned my Orbi and bought a rival competitor's mesh system and had no issue with any of my devices.Read full review

With the long house i have been having difficulties reaching from one end to another with the signal. The orbi 752 was in good order on arrival and worked perfectly after an easy setup. It did well in covering the large area and gave a good signal through brick and several rooms it needed to penetrate.
