Netgear Netgear Orbi RBK753 - Wi-Fi System (Router, 2 Extenders) - Up to 7,500 Sq.ft - Mesh - GigE, 802.11ax - 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax - Tri-Band - RBK753-100NAS (Renewed)

Very happy. Very sad I didn't order this when it first came out.Arrived promptly, packaging was suitable for the product. Unpacked, followed the quick start instructions, unplugged the original equipment. Power cycled the modem, plugged in the base station, plugged in the Satellites in other rooms, added the app to my phone, connected to the device, configured my SSID and password, and that's it. Since I used the same original WIFI SSID and password, everything that was connected before connected again to the new equipment. Greatly extended the range of my network. Previously, I had three mid-priced ($150 each) devices in mesh mode using OpenWRT, and would experience frequent drops and outages throughout the day, none of which was more than a minute or two, but always seemed to occur at the worst possible time.Since installing the Orbi setup, no drops, no disconnects, can freely roam around my house, garage, into the driveway, backyard and front yard and as long as I'm in range of one of the satellites or the base station, everything flows 100%.So for less cost than the three mid-range WIFI boxes, and much less trouble than installing my own firmware and maintaining it all, and with much greater performance? There's no regrets other than I regret I didn't buy this sooner.

Holy smokes this thing works. I had just a regular Spectrum router, tried a powerline adapter, the Orbi RBK50 (1 router 1 satellite), and now this Orbi753 (1 router 2 satellites). The powerline adapter sucked- maybe it was my wiring, i donno. The RBK50 was "decent" but didn't really outperform my basic router enough to justify its cost in my opinion.This thing blows everything else away so far, not only with the extra satellite, but I think the general signal power as well. My PS4 was upstairs (router is downstairs) getting 15-30mbps on wifi and the powerline, and 50-100mbps on the other Orbi plugged in with an ethernet. Plugged into THIS orbi, it's getting 250mbps, which is what it was getting PLUGGED INTO THE ROUTER DOWNSTAIRS..... My max internet speed is not much, it's only 300-350mbps coming into the house. So this is bonkers. Some other ambiguous testing locations that will mean nothing to you, other than for comparisons:Location A (wifi):Spectrum Router- 340mbpsPowerline adapter - 56mbpsOrbiRBK50 - 336mbpsOrbi 753 - 338mbpsLocation B (wifi)Spectrum Router - 226mbpsPowerline adapter - 35mbpsOrbi RBK50 - 223mbpsOrbi 753 - 335mbpsLocation C (wifi)Spectrum router - 130mbpsPowerline adapter - 46mbpsOrbi RBK50 - 267mbpsOrbi RBK753 - 317mbpsLocation D, outside (wifi)Spectrum router - 68mbpsPowerline - N/AOrbi RBK50 - 148mbpsOrbi753 - 314mbpsJust bonkers. Full speed internet everywhere on my property.This is refurbished. Seems to work well so far. Will update if anything goes sideways down the road. Hope it stays this great forever.

easy set up, grate signal strength, reliable not to loose connection, best money ever spent on an item that is better quality than that provided by an internet provider

Setup was okay...one of my satellites did not want to connect and I had to do a lot of "turn it off and back on again."One day though, my admin interface stopped working. I do some pentesting from time to time and needed to update my port forwarding. I called customer support and they told me to factory reset. Several times. I said no as they did NO TROUBLESHOOTING AT ALL up to that point.Several calls later (as I am sure we all have experienced) I get the person who knows whats wrong. This is a KNOWN ISSUE and they are rolling out a fix. Could not tell me when or how that would happen but we'd get there.In the end, I found a user on Reddit that was a NetGear CSR Admin and asked her for help. All good the next morning.TLDR: Had an issue, had to get a Redditor to fix it. NetGear CS is bleh.

I've had a few Orbi's since they were introduced and tgis one does not dissapoint. I've connected this to my cellular home wifi router and get solid coverage around my house. They are reliable and well worth the purchase.
