NETGEAR Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Tri-Band Mesh System for Business or Home (SXK80B3) - Router with 2 Satellite Extenders | 4 SSIDs, VLAN, QoS | Coverage up to 9,000 sq. ft., 80 Devices | AX6000 (Up to 6Gbps)

I figured that this was going to be noticeably better than the crappy cable company issued router, but I didn't expect to be blown away. When I first got it, my better half and I had WiFi 5 capable devices and our internet subscription was rated at 400mb down / 20mb up, [28ms ping time]. It was pretty exciting to see exactly that on our devices - all the time, as where on our old router, the speed was at best a fraction of that. So clearly, it was nice to see that we were finally getting what we've been subscribing to via WiFi for the first time. We just recently got WiFi 6 capable phones and upped our internet speed to 1GB down, 40mb Up and we now consistently average 790 Down and 40mb Up on our phone and new laptops. She has her own SSID, I have mine, and we created a IoT Channel for our WiFi devices around the house. No matter what we're doing; Hosting Zoom sessions, streaming HD movies, name it, there's never a hiccup with the data stream. And the fourth SSID is turned on when we have guests, and we turn that off when they leave. Sure, there are more technical ways to get into reviewing this router, but plain and simple, I can't imagine that there's anything else out there that would work as well ... OH! and we can walk pretty far from the house and still enjoy being connected to our own WiFi, hence our 21 character alphanumeric passwords! ;) We're elated with our investment into this setup and highly recommend it!!

Had an old nighthawk in a 20,000 square foot warehouse. Just wasn’t doing the job any longer. Installed this system in less then an hour, which included installing two satellites up high on the walls. Blazing WiFi speeds and great coverage in the whole warehouse.

This review is for the Netgear Orbi "Pro" SXK80 B3, so that came with two additional satellites and I made a huge mistake and added SxS80 for a total of 3 satellites. It's been over 3 months now and this is the most money $1400 I have ever spent on router and repeaters in my 20 plus years of experience with networking for personal use at my home/office. The good, the box looks good. That's about it. The bad. Everything else. Support, don't even waste your time. But what has really got me to write this review, is that this expensive router keeps dropping on me every day. No matter what I change and talk to the useless support, it keeps dropping. It is so frustrating, to spend this much money and have a much worse experience than a cheap router that I upgraded from. I wish I never wasted my money or time on this @#$@#$. I will never buy another netgear device in my life. lesson learned. So, do not waste your money or time.

This is the BEST WiFi system I have ever deployed. Our home/office is in a 13K sf, 116 year old house with thick walls and lots of plaster, brick and i-beams. Netgear's Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Business Tri-Band Mesh System blasts through the entire property. We finally can enjoy the 1gb download and upload speeds promised by our ISP in each floor of the house. The transfer speed of 6gb of data in our network is fantastic. If you need to push and pull A LOT of data and not get bogged down by other users on your data pipe, I recommend this system.

I am not sure if we received a bad piece but we tried to connect this router but it was not able to send signal out. Now we have got another router at less than half of Orbi's price and it is working perfectly fine. We returned thos one.

Bought this mesh router system for my house 1,800sq and my parents in law suit house (960sq, about 20' separating the two). 1 point loss for the satellite nodes losing internet, semi infrequently. My parents node did cross two concrete walls, but would lose connection a few times a day for about 30 seconds. For the node from the main house, I had an exterior security camera that would also drop connection every two or three days. Second point loss, network traffic monitoring is missing, not really great where I would want to see which devices go where and how much data. Point also lost that parental control would NOT let me block specific devices during set hours. The setting home network, and employee network worked great, no issues. For creating guest network, if my system was up for a month, after hitting the agree to terms, network would still not let you connect.

INITIAL WARNING: NETGEAR TECH SUPPORT IS NON-EXISTANT. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN IF YOU PURCHASE A NETGEAR PRODUCT SO YOU BETTER BE MORE THAN AN AMATUER CONSUMER OR SORTA TECH SAVY CONSUMER IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT. That being said, if you have the know how, this is a solid product offering from Netgear. Here are my thoughts... Like: Has the features I want and need to support separate business, school, personal, and guest networks via the same Router and Satellite(s) harware while allowing all conected devices to share a 500GB wireless connection with available bandwidth metering/controls when necessary. The bandwidth throughput via both hard-line and Wifi is as FAST as the available bandwidth being delivered by the modem. There is no bandwidth bottleneck or slowdown except at the limitations of the devices connected to the network. And unlike other networks, especially using older hardware, with a primary router and signal boosters/repeaters, this system allows you to move room to room and even between floors with no signal or bandwidth drop or disconnects. And the overall management of this system is MUCH easier that previous multi-piece network configurations IF you know how to login, setup, and manage a network via the web portal login to the Router and understand networks enough to configure your network correctly via firmware based native networking tools. Dislike: This system is NOT user friendly for anyone not well versed in networking and the use and access of native firmware networking software via the web portal and IP address access methods. This system is NOT general consumer or even semi-knowledgible user friendly. Also, and I discoveres this the hard way after multiple failed attempts of following the including system setup insteuctions, this system is NOT fully capatable with ANY of the Netgear Apps nor will it even complete the basic system setup process using ANY of the claimed compatible apps. Attempting to use any of the Netgear Apps (Orbi, Genie, Insight, etc.) as instructed in the user manual results in the setup failing halfway through the process when the apps either crash or freeze due to a conflict between the app and the native system firmware. The requires a lengthy process to reset ALL of the networking hardware (router and satellite(s)) back to initial factory settings individually before attempting the process again which failed on every signle one of the 3 attempts I made using each of the Apps which I was told to use in the included manufacturer instructions. When I gave up on ALL the apps and just "went native" and did the setup and configuration process via the web portal and firware the entire process worked as expected and I had the entire system up and running within roughly an hour. Again, WARNING, THIS SYSTEM IS NOT USER FRIENDLY OR EASY TO SETUP OR MANAGE UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO ACCESS AND CONFIGURE A NETWORK AND SATELLITES VIA A WEB PORTAL AND IP ADDRESS USING NATIVE INSTALLED FIRMWARE. Over all... This is a good buy, though not a cheap purchase by any means, and will serve the Networking Guru's and SMB businesses or home's with their own IT Dept. or contracted IT Expert very well and likely for several years to come. This is one of those "investment purchases" that pays you back via the value in brings to your business; in this case everyone shares as much bandwidth as your modem can supply without a sketchy Wi-Fi signal or speed drop, which increases productivity and employee satisfaction, and ultimately boosts your bottom line. For the general consumer or those without an IT Dept. or IT/Networking Expert on their payroll this is likely NOT the system for you. This is NOT a User Friendly system and is going to require way more than your "Grandkid" or "Tech Savy Friend" to set up and configure correctly, especially if you are wanting to take advantage of this system's full potential. Good luck.

I tried many other top quality units including the other residential Orbi 6, But this Orbi "PRO" is the only one that gives me the coverage I needed. My other Netgear nighthawk was ok as long as I stayed in the same room, but had to keep adding several wifi extenders to reach the entire house with barely usable strength. Now the Orbi "PRO" does it all with NO extenders and max signal strength everywhere. I was so happy I purchased and added another Orbi PRO satellite and mounted it in my shop 100' away from the house - Wow !
