NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 Add-on Satellite (RBS750) – Works with Your Orbi WiFi 6 System| Adds up to 2,500 sq. ft. Coverage | AX4200 (Up to 4.2Gbps)

These were the best on the market for the money before the WiFi 6E standard came out. New phones and computers are coming out with WiFi 6E. 6E is faster and has an additional band to help with load balancing the traffic. Devices using WiFi 6E can still use this generation.

As transparency, I’m an IT tech and have installed these in a lot of homes and offices. These are one of the best (if not *the* best) for the money on the market if you don’t want to be drilling holes in your home or office. Easy app management but placement is key (don’t just put them anywhere). WiFi only travels in straight lines not around corners. Always have the main router and these units as high off the ground as possible and in the highest, most central location in your home or office (WiFi can travel downward but not up nearly as well … think rain on an umbrella). They don’t go thru *interior* walls well (or at all) that have plaster, brick, cinder block, stone, ceramic, porcelain, and mirrors. This includes homes/offices in an L-shape where there can be 2 *exterior* walls between the units and the room/area where you need WiFi. Microwave ovens and HVAC systems also interfere a lot. Hire a professional to get the most efficient placement (special equipment is needed). Just measuring the bandwidth on your phone isn’t enough. All mesh units and extenders only “repeat as good as they get”, they *don’t* boost a WiFi signal. So if a unit is only getting 1 bar of WiFi signal, they will only repeat 1 bar even if the repeater shows 4 bars (it’s 4 bars of a 1 bar signal). Recommend.

Despite customer service telling me that you can not support two networks with the same APP; it is a breeze to add the satellite to the mesh network. The only problem I see is that a device installed within 10 feet from a satellite unit that relays via another linked unit .. will gravitate toward making the long haul connection to the the distant (> 50 feet) unit ; in order to most likely ; eliminate hops and minimize latency speeds. The new addon unit was found to not have any WiFi connected device loading, as all IOT and mobile devices gravitate toward connecting to the upstream master’s.
Is this addon really needed ? – Watch your App mapping and individual connected devices ; then evaluate for yourself if the addon really helps your network connectivity.
It would have been nice if the router and mesh supports locking your wifi connecting devices to a specific mesh unit , and eliminating the automatic mesh long haul connection attempts that caused the disruptive bouncing around of connection reaches for the client device.

I recently purchased the Orbi Netgear TriBand Mesh System for my home and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with its performance.

First and foremost, the ease of setup was a breeze. The system comes with clear and concise instructions, making it simple to get everything up and running within minutes. The sleek and modern design of the Orbi units also adds a touch of elegance to my home decor, which is a bonus.

In terms of coverage and speed, I am more than satisfied. The TriBand technology ensures that I have seamless, uninterrupted Wi-Fi throughout my entire home, eliminating any dead zones. Whether I’m streaming movies in the living room, working in my home office, or gaming in the basement, I consistently get strong and reliable Wi-Fi signal. The difference from my previous router is night and day.

Another standout feature of the Orbi system is the dedicated backhaul band. This ensures that the connection between the Orbi units is always fast and efficient, maximizing the overall performance of the network. I have multiple devices connected to the network simultaneously and have not experienced any lag or drop in speed.

I also appreciate the user-friendly Orbi mobile app, which allows me to easily manage and monitor my network. The app provides insight into connected devices, allows for customization of security settings, and even enables parental controls. It’s a convenient tool for keeping my network secure and optimized.

One small drawback is the price of the Orbi Netgear TriBand Mesh System compared to other routers or Wi-Fi extenders on the market. However, considering the exceptional performance and coverage it provides, I believe it is worth the investment.

Overall, I highly recommend the Orbi Netgear TriBand Mesh System to anyone looking to upgrade their home network. With its exceptional coverage, speed, and user-friendly features, it has become an integral part of my everyday life, making streaming, gaming, and working from home a seamless and enjoyable experience.
