Horrible product!

I have gone through absolute hell, spending hours for something that should be so simple. I have the Orbi set up with satellites because my home is large and I have a guest house. The satellite system works very well, but my guests cannot sign in their cell phones or computers when they visit my guesthouse. I have tried everything imaginable to get into my Orbi account so that guests can access the Wi-Fi. Although online it says it can be done, they do not give you that option once you’re in the Orbi or Netgear. I sign on, but I’m never given the option that is described to enable guests. They’re always trying to sell new products on the same pages . They should cut back on that and show more concern to teach people the absolute basics on how to use their product. This is a widespread problem represented by a huge amount of posts from people trying to find help for the very same problem on the web.

Unreliable Product

Always goes out

Orbi The Only to Surf

I had the Orbi for four years and it’s reliable, easy to use and provides excellent coverage.

Configuration error

one of the worst app I ever used, the new device setup process is a total disaster, after you finally getting it done and try to set the wifi, it gives you that configuration error, retried dozens of times and eventually decided to give it up, just use a computer to manually confogure it, don't use this trash app
