App needs a new facelift

Sometimes the app works, sometimes it doesn’t. When it does work it it’s very slow. Takes a while to move around in the app

Amazing and Reliable

I have my ORBI hooked to an Arris Modem, and it works amazingly around the house. Would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase their own Networking system

Terrible app, terrible products

Trying to create the guest network through the app crashes the router and the satellites loose connection to the base. Once the main base crashes, the app no longer can connect to the router and I have to hardwire in with a desktop to adjust router settings.

Excellent Coverage

I had a older NETGEAR and I could see on my cell phone the WiFi signal fluctuating and some of my wireless security camera would have problems connecting now that I got the ORBI I have a strong signal no fluctuation and all my camera work without issue. I’ve been putting off buying this system. I’m glade I finally made the decision to upgrade it’s the best thing I’ve could have done. So happy with it.
