NETGEAR Orbi - WiFi System App

Bought this to extend wifi range 10 metres from our house to a garden office 2 years ago and it has never worked reliably. It also switches between 2.5 and 5 automatically depending on connection which means that 2.5 only devices sometimes work and sometimes don’t. Completely impractical.

The speed test on app shows download speed of 946mb but two other independent tests (ookla & Meteor) both show speeds of 140mb. The test in this app is totally unreliable.

使用3的基站网络，以前使用的手机分享网络只能达到17M下载，7M上传，换了这个设备，网络闲时检测可以可以达到下载72M，上传43M。体验了24小时设备非常稳定。

I have used Orbi mesh for four years and have been very happy with the hardware and its performance. However, the app is useless. I had RBR50 and RBS50 satellite which all worked well. Then I added a second RBS50 satellite and the problems began. If I login using the web interface orbilogin.net everything is good and all three devices are shown. However the app refuses to show the 2nd satellite connected online or show its devices. It also reports an incorrect IP address for the satellite (a 10.0 range address, even though I am using 192.168 - which orbilogin.net shows correctly). Dreadful. Useless.

App never updates system config. And generally the orbi network is troublesome and hard to configure the way u want it

The app really needs this option similar to StarLink app, allowing to visually see where your weak points are. This will help eliminate black spots with repositioning or buying more satellites

Great piece of kit

The latest update broke the app, it can’t connect to the local router even though it shows green and locally connected.

As per above, when the Orbi app is first opened it connects to the cloud version as opposed to the local version- why?

The Orbi system disengages without warning from the router.
