28-11-2024I purchased this Netgear Orbi whole house mesh Wifi system in June of 2020. I didnt realize that it was not auto updating the firmware, but noticed it on my own after several firmware updates had passed. After hours of work trying to update the firmware for both the router and the satellites, I noticed that I could not update the components through a wireless connection, it had to be done using an ethernet cable attached to the router. How do you do this on a totally wireless household? The only potential wired device I could use would be a desktop on the 2nd floor of my condo. I would have to completely tear the desktop down and move it to the basement to do this using an ethernet cable! I also did not realize how obsolete the product I purchased was until I installed it in my condo. Not very much fun for me. I suppose Ill have to trash this system and start over. Make sure when you purchase your whole house wireless system that you can update the firmware wirelessly!!!

> 3 daypros - does boost signal throughout house well. cons - does not work with amazon prime video, hbo now, ring doorbell, arlo cameras, disney+ and more due to buggy firmware and known issues (just google it if you dont believe me). Swapped it for another leading brand and zero issues. figure it out netgear.

Greater than one weekWe bought this product for a three level, 2500 hundred square feet house with an attached garage with an office over the garage. We were hoping to have a good Internet signal throughout our home... To our surprise, we not only have great Internet throughout our house...we also have great Internet reception on most of our one acre lot. I highly recommend this product. We did have a slight problem a couple days after first hooking this up and we were having a hard time signing into the Internet. We went to their troubleshooting page which told us how to reset the system which took a few seconds and we have had great service ever since. We have been using this system with a Netgear Nighthawk and an antenna. We live in a rural area about two and a half miles from an AT&T tower and our experience has been great.

29-11-2024I have internet everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. I set up one unit upstairs, two downstairs (this includes the router) and one in the garage. I never lose connectivity. From the street to the alley, I have no issues connecting to the web with this mesh node. They are a bit bulky, but I am sure as technology advances they will get smaller. Still not too bulky at all.
