NETGEAR Orbi Quad-band WiFi 7 Mesh System RBE973S, WiFi 7 Router Plus 2 Satellite Extenders, Coverage up to 10,000 sq. ft. & 200 Devices, 10 Gbit Internet Port, BE27000 802.11be (up to 27Gbps)

I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the Netgear Orbi RBK970. Setup was simple and straightforward—just followed the included instructions and everything was up and running in no time. Performance-wise, it’s been flawless. All of my devices connect seamlessly, and I’m consistently hitting the maximum internet speeds provided by my ISP, which is a huge win. Even in a large home with multiple users and smart devices, the system hasn’t missed a beat. What really stands out is the rock-solid stability. I’ve had zero issues with devices dropping off the network, and the connection has remained strong and consistent throughout. Highly recommended if you're looking for a premium, high-performance mesh system that delivers exactly what it promises.

I had a Netgear Nighthawk router before purchasing this system. I have Virgin Media optical fibre at 1 GB speed. Not only do I get 1 GB plus on the router, but I also get 1 GB plus on the extender.It is straightforward to install and looks far better than the Nighthawk RX.There's a slight downside: my Devolo doesn't connect to the Orbi. Not sure why?

Extremely disappointed with product. No better if not worse than my Orbi863 router. WiFi speeds down on previous router mentioned. For the range of the router when less than 8 mtrs away from the satellite Orbi, no connection available outside. Over proved and will be returning . Looks great but that is where it ends.

Had Orbi 15 connected to eero with a few Netgear wifi extenders. This, with an extra satellite - mind-blowing. Max signal strength everywhere with no extenders. So simple to connect. Should have upgraded ages ago.

I am still evaluating if this is a good product. What is clear to me is that the premium price you are paying is not for the support.I decided to save some money by buying the product from Amazon Resale in a used, "Like new" state.I set up the device quickly, as I was familiar with the configuration from upgrading from another, much older Orbi product.The product is fine, but WiFi 7 is not yet revolutionary (even with a WiFi 7 receiver), and for the rest, you get the usual Orbi product. Not super performance or incredible range, but consistency and a constant signal across the area covered by the mesh. Could it be better or faster with another product (i.e. Eero Max 7)? Probably yes, but Orbi is about reliability.Perhaps the only annoyance is the booting time - it has a bug where, if you restart it, it fails to re-query the DHCP server to retrieve the IP address assigned to the WAN port for over 20 minutes (possibly longer) unless you unplug and replug the cable. However, it's one of those things that might be fixed in the future or by setting a static IP address (although I didn't try).Additionally, even if the device was "Used - Like New", it had not been reset. So I had to reset it. Acceptable.What I found puzzling is that it was impossible to register the product with Netgear when I set it up because it was already associated with another account (probably the previous owner).From there, it becomes a very scarce service for £ 1,600, essentially. You have to open a ticket on their system, which is extremely difficult because the system defaults to only allowing tickets for registered products. So, only by the web mobile interface is there a path, starting from the failed registration, that will enable you to open a ticket to get a product registered.The entire matter was resolved within a week. After when you see your device registered, you realise that you don't have any priority service nor any service chat or warranty available, and the 1yr armour requires payment now (roughly £50 with an introductory offer).The support says, almost verbatim, "You bought a used product? Now you are on our own!". It is not entirely unreasonable, but for a mark-up of £1600 on a 'Like New' product, I found it a bit unacceptable.Now Amazon is doing its best, offering me their support and the possibility to return it to buy a new one.However, when you are targeting this level of product, you want to be considered a bit more by the manufacturer. Registering a product that is used but essentially new and is still sold and fully supported should give you some initial priority support. For 2-3 years? Okay, it's used, but at least 6 months? And the 1-year armour in the headline is also misleading because it is not included.While I am not generally dissatisfied with the product (note: not blown away either), I might decide to return it. However, at this point, I might try another brand to move towards WiFi 7 because it is clear that the product and the service you get from it are massively overpriced.If that happens, I will lower it to 2 stars.

When it works it’s v fast but was hard to get it it to register in the app and then has lost link with the satellites - a bit irritating after a week after installation

Always struggled with speed issues in a 4 bedroom house. Finally took the plunge and what a difference. I’m now getting almost 1gbps in every part of the house. I’ve not had a single drop out in service and everything is working so well it’s almost unbelievable. Going from 100mbps to the full speed I’m paying for is amazing. It is worth every penny although it is a little expensive and I’m sure that will reduce over time

Item arrived promptly, packaged well and installed first time. Bought as a third Satellite to iron out signal loss in a problematically L shaped Bungallow with a multitude of walls and obstacles it’s solved an issue. Ordinarily I’d say a router and two satellites would be enough as they are powerful transceivers and too much overlapping signal creates problems too. But with a rethink and a shift around we’ve massively improved internal WiFi speeds as well as boosted use externally in the garden etc. I bought the original kit three years ago and now more devices are 6E compatible so starting to see the benefits of the faster speeds, and this extra satellite provides a better spread of signal for 6E as its range is less than 2.4GHz
