I purchased the RBS50 Add On satellite to go with the RBK50 system I already had to expand my coverage in the house. I bought this unit before installing the router and satellite because I wanted to bring them all up at the same time.The reason I needed the additional satellite is because I have two PC’s that are fed off of Ethernet cables. One is my Son’s upstairs directly above my office and the other in my office. Another reason I was looking for a new WiFi solution was my cancelling of Comcast’s 150 MBPS download/6 MBPS upload internet service. I was able to replace it with AT&T’s Gigapower fiber-optic internet service with 840 MBPS download and 880 MBPS upload through the AT&T modem.My previous router was the Netgear Nighthawk X6000 AC3200 router with a Nighthawk EX7000 AC1900 Exrtender in my office and an old Linksys extender in my Son’s room. My office and my Son’s room are 50-60 feet away from the router passing through several walls. The performance metrics below will highlight why I began looking for better networking equipment.My PC: 150 MBPS download / 300 MBPS uploadSon’s PC: 60 MBPS down / 65 MBPS upiPad 15 feet from the router: 99 MBPS down / 100 MBPS upiPhone 6s same distance: Same results as above.Installed the Orbi system. The add on satellite synced flawlessly with the router as did the other satellite. A quick call to Netgear support got me past a sticking point associated with the Orbi app. I updated the satellite firmware, then the router firmware. I went to both PC’s and measured the hoped for improvement. I was hoping to double my previous performance at a minimum. I was not prepared for the actual performance.My PC: 643 MBPS download / 740 MBPS uploadSon’s PC: 533 MBPS down / 640 MBPS upiPad 15 feet from the router: 500 MBPS down / 550 MBPS upiPhone 6s same distance: 375 MBPS down / 450 MBPS upThe improvement in performance is 4 fold to 9 fold better than my previous Netgear equipment which is only 3 years old. I am astonished at the performance. I check the performance everytime I get on my PC and it is rock solid stable at the numbers above.The Orbi WiFi system is everything I thought it would be and THEN SOME. It is amazing technology and I can’t wait to see what Netgear does for an encore!NETGEAR Orbi Home WiFi System.

Used Netgear for years and I enjoy how simple their products are to install, program and use and are even unobtrusive/attractive to look at.

I was looking for a router, which can power all three floors in my home. I tried a couple of other routers, but they were dead zones. This router does a good job.

I have a medium-sized apartment that would be usually covered by a standard router, but because of some obstacles, the wifi is a nightmare. One of these guys + a satellite not only has gotten rid of all my wifi black spots but have also multiplied my Internet speed x3 times (check screenshot before and after buying the Orbi system using the same Spectrum Internet connection). AMAZING!
