Orbi 770 Series WiFi 7 Mesh System, Up to 4,500 sq ft., 2 Pack

Title: Great startDescription: I purchased the Netgear Orbi 770 2-pack to replace a 2 year old Linksys mesh system that just wasn't working correctly anymore. To be honest, I actually tried the Amazon Eero product first as the review I'd read said is was easier to set up with a better app. However, the Eero would not work with my Nokia ONT box for some reason so went back and I replaced it with the Orbi.The Orbi units are a funny shape. They look round from the front but are teardrop shaped tapering off at the back. This meant they only just fit on the shelves where I need them but that's a minor thing.The setup was incredibly easy and everything worked first time. The app is very good and on a par with the Eero one, so the reviews I'd read must have been before this app was released.I also like the fact that there is an advanced setup option if you access the router through a web browser.Overall, the Orbi system has made a good start in the house and the speed increase and stability improvements over my old Linksys system are very noticeable.

What should have been a good system was spoilt by my unable to get it to connect to internet

It works well speedwise apart from niggles with it taking ages to recognise new devices in the App and worse it doesn't seem to have the intelligence to connect a device to the strongest node?Quite happy for my mobile for example to be running at 25Mbps on the furthest way node. If I switch the phone off wait a few minutes and reconnect it picks the strongest node.Also it displays the backhaul nodes as if they can be connected to! Should be invisible

I really really wanted this to be good. The setup was typical Netgear, took too long, but was reliable. It failed to connect to my internet port (LAN port to ISP equipment) at the desired speed. It would only negotiate 100mbps, the Nighthawk I have always negotiated 1000mbps. If I piggy backed on my Nighthawk, or placed a 1gbps switch in between the router and the wall socket it was fine on negotiated speed. Then discovered if I used a cat 6 cable (it’s provided with a 5e) it worked. Then the next issue become apparently, unstable connections. I would get intermittent freezes on the network, as if sessions were being disconnected or packets being dropped. I returned the first device, the second one behaved exactly the same. I spent hours on the phone with Netgear support and had a case raised to Level 3 engineering but there was no resolution even after 6 weeks. I could tell this device had potential though, the UI was quicker than most routers I’ve ever used and the features were really good.Until Netgear get a much better version of the software these things are basically useless.

Title: Great bit of kitDescription: Replacing the dated Vodafone ultra with this on my FTTP connection, solid connection to the internet and getting my full gigabit connection via wifi , worth while purchase

Excellent

When I got it, I opened it and found that it wasn’t new so I returned it.

The set up process was pretty smooth (though did need to restart 1 section) Specs and performance are good, little disappointed by the number of ports on the satellite unit but relatively minor issue. The signal is good without the need for many aerials so the units are pretty unobtrusive. App mostly seems easy to use and reliable so far.

Ottimo prodotto. Software stabile e eccellente supporto nel sito Ufficiale Netgear. Vedo un chiaro miglioramento di velocità sui dispositivi wifi 2,4Ghz

Av mina 1000 mbit får jag endast ut 200-250.Supporten ställer otroligt många frågor som tog mig en timme att reda ut. Skulle möta hastigheten på olika sätt bland annat.Ni vill de att jag laddar ner en zip fil från deras hemsida och manuellt installerar deras uppdatering med en nätverkssladd mellan datorn och en av rautrarna.För att störningar på mitt internet och microstörningar i el systemet kan göra att rautern inte kan ladda ner senaste uppdateringen.För 5900kr så förväntar jag mig bra mycket mer av ett mesh system?Efter några omgångar med supportern så gav jag upp och fick returnera produkten. Väldigt skönt att Amazon gör det så lätt och smidigt för mig.Det du ska se upp med om produkten levererar för låga hastigheter.1) Om du ska returnera den så håll koll på sista dagen för retur.2) Netgear har endast mailsupport genom deras sida. Lätt att missa när de svarar.3) Jag lät en vän som är dataingenjör se över vad de svarat mig och han sa att det mesta var stuntsvar som inte leder till något. De har bara 3 månaders support. Så mitt tips är att om du inte fått hjälp innan retur tiden löper ut så returnera produkten.

Easy to setup and promising start but this Orbi 770 device hangs at least twice every day especially when you are sitting beside it!!??So you need a reset to restore WiFi connectionsNo amount of firmware updates resolve this issue in a bridge setupSo don’t waste your time Avoid as this will not improve your home WiFi.

Rendimiento impecable tras casi un año. Ideal para paredes gruesasEscribo esta reseña tras casi un año de uso diario con el Netgear Orbi 770 (pack de router + satélite) y la experiencia no ha podido ser mejor. Ninguna queja: es súper estable y ha cumplido con creces todas mis expectativas.​Mi casa es antigua y tiene unos muros bastante gruesos, lo que siempre había sido un problema para el Wi-Fi. Con este sistema he conseguido crear una red Mesh perfecta en toda la vivienda. Estoy muy sorprendido con el funcionamiento y la potencia del producto. Una inversión que vale totalmente la pena.

The app is very limited, the web interface is too dumbed down, the speeds aren't that great. You have to pay extra with a subscription to unlock more functionality that should be included, they spam your email. I'm so glad I returned mine and I don't plan on ever touching netgear stuff again.
