About NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (RBK753) Router
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
87% praised the intuitive app, but 13% struggled
I found the app incredibly easy to set up as it walked me through the setup process.
I had difficulty connecting the devices using the app and had to use the sync function on the router and satellite to get them connected.
91% praised the coverage area, but 9% found dead spots
In our two-story, 3300 sq. ft. house, the system's coverage and speed were remarkable.
Orbi RBR750 provides fast and reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout my home, ensuring a seamless internet experience for all connected devices.
I was having trouble with internet connectivity in the back right of my home, but after the installation of the product, I have not lost a connection yet.
My 3,000 sq ft house cannot be covered by the mesh system.
93% liked the customizable settings, yet 7% found them limited
Setting up the initial router was easy, but syncing the satellite was a challenge because the instructions did not mention hitting the sync button on both devices.
I have noticed that the router has basic parental controls, but they are not as comprehensive as the Circle app. The newer model overlooks crucial features like setting individual time limits, filtering content, and pausing the internet on specific devices.
In AP mode, the product does not support VLAN tags for those who prefer their own router like PFSense.
94% found it easy to set up
I am confident that maintaining my home network will be much easier with the new Orbi setup.
It was easy to install and set up the system.
90% liked the ability to support many devices, but 10% didn't
When I run multiple devices streaming 4k, there is never a signal issue or buffering.
My house is 2100 sqft and with the previous solution, the garden had no services.
This device is not compatible with VLAN tags in AP mode, which is a problem for those who prefer their own router like PFSense.
My Roomba vacuum and mop did not connect to the wi-fi router and satellite.
86% appreciated the performance
In my two-story, 3300 sq. ft. house, the system's coverage and speed were remarkable and nearing the maximum speed of my ISP.
Our WiFi download speed is impressive at 950 mbps, especially since we pay for 1 gig.
84% were impressed with the security features, although 16% weren't
I appreciate the security features of the Orbi router and satellite system, including the Bitdefender security that runs quietly in the background and provides hardware scans, vulnerability updates, and easy installation of security applications on devices on the network.
The Circle application, which was present in the older RBR40 model, is missing in the RBR750. As a parent, I found the Circle app to be a game-changer, providing a simple and effective way to manage and monitor internet usage for my children. Its omission in the RBR750 is a significant drawback.
