Works perfectly

Great product. Works like a charm!

Disappointed at replacing my R6300v2 with this one. Same problems as before !

Update: With several email exchange with Netgear they agreed to replace. But now they are unable to find a way to do it. Unfortunately I have lost the window with Amazon to return the item. If only I can get Amazon and Netgear to agree on how to provide replacement. Ideally after so much of trouble I just want a refund. I will go for something other than Netgear this time.Review 2: The issues with the new router continue. Even when there is a line of sight connection between Router and Satellite the connection remains "poor". Also Satellite loses sync with the router and all devices connected via the satellite in one part of the house go offline. One has to click the Sync Buttons again to sync them to get Internet back.Review 1: Disappointed with Netgear Routers. I gave benefit of doubt to the old one R6300v2 that I was happy about the range but it kept going offline and needed resets as hardware fatigue.I bought a new one RBK50 (AC3000) with longer range but seem to have made a mistake to go for Netgear again. This one is also going offline. Within 36 hours of its use it has given lots of troubles. Satellite also takes a long time to connect as if it is struggling.Probably need to return it and try another make. Let us see what reply I get from Netgear as I have opened a case with them.

Base works well, satellite keeps disconnecting even after multiple firmware updates

The router is a good one when it works. It is elegant and looks good when placed in a room, which is much better than many others are like. The setup was easy and straightforward, the speed is good, and the range is good. It comes with some good control functions (parent/child limitations, etc). Initially, the settings for the router were quite strict that some pages would not load, but after researching it and making a slight adjustment to the settings, it was fine. It's great to have a mesh network in a house where the devices seamlessly switch between units as you move around the house.The biggest problem with this router is that the satellite unit disconnects from the base at unpredictable times (it actually might have a sick sense of humor as it seems to pick the worst possible times to do so). I tried moving it closer to the base unit (tried multiple locations), but the problem persisted. It had 2 or 3 firmware updates since I bought it, but it still disconnects. I now use my phone hotspot as a backup in case the signal is lost on the satellite and make sure to move to the room where the base unit is for important meetings, to avoid embarrassing situations and signal problems. It's really disappointing because otherwise, it would have been an incredible router if it just remained reliable.I will be upgrading to Wifi 6 router, but am reluctant to get the Orbi mesh wifi6 because I don't want to go through the satellite problems again.P.S. Ironically, the internet signal from the satellite unit disconnected when I tried to submit this review the first time.

it doesn’t work most of the time, but when it does it great

I researched this product a lot and found a lot of amazing and fantastic reviews, I had been researching and reading all the ORBI mesh systems since over a year and after carefully reading each review decided to place my order, knowing that I could always return it if it has some problems like a small percentage of the people who did buy the ORBI mesh system.I wanted to like it, it easy to install and setup. The Orbi app is great for troubleshooting and dealing with most things by yourself.BUT I have not had more than a days network without interruption. The satellite would either disconnect or the internet would drop from the satellite.Moved the satellite around closer and then further to different locations. Called Netgear for support and they are helpful. But having spent all this money and then having to keep spending hours on trying to figure out the issue is just not worth it.When it works it’s brilliant but when it doesn’t. The hassle isn’t worth it.If I cannot find a solution in another week I will be returning the product.

Satelite can not hold the connection to the router

Satelite keeps loosing connection to the router as it is constantly switching from 2.4Gh to 5Gh and vice versa. Went back to the 2 routers. Money wasted.
