I just bought this setup. Excited to install it once it arrives. I still have the first obi RBK50 from 2016 and it still works great. I’m just over 900 mbps download from Comcast with that setup. The problem with this review is that the Orbi app that he’s using to test the speed from outside is misleading. The orbiting app only test the speed from the ISP to the router so you know if your getting what you pay for. If you’re outside then you have to use a third party speed test app to test coverage and speed of the WiFi signal from the router/satellite. Let not forget the modem. First, You need a modem that is capable of delivering the ISP speed to this router.

Negative. The phone was in airplane mode and was the actual orbi app test speed. Connected the entire time only to that network.
@walter2695 4 ай бұрын
He mentions in an old orbi video that their app speed tester is over inflated to look better. but im sure this video is sponsored so he cant say that again. but yeah its not as fast as the app says. Its like those mpg stickers on cars. 30 city 40 highway, yeah in a airplane hanger on a dyno machine. take it out on the actual road. Your results will vary.

Deco Mesh System about 10 percent of the price and is excellent for large homes! Dont waste money on this !
@BTheInstaller 4 ай бұрын
I don't think the Deco has the scale this does. We had a solid Deco and the speed and coverage was far below.. we had a hard time covering 1000sq ft with the $150 price point. I got the first orbi there and it basically 3x the coverage and had better consistent coverage. Still they have come a long way too and there are less expensive orbis too. My old orbi was like $250+ or so
@thomasmorel1447 4 ай бұрын
10% of the price ? Stop the B.S. DECO BE95 is 1000$ (pack of 2) where as Orbi 970 is 1700$. So if my maths are correct DECO is 60% of the price not 10% And DECO BE95 is not as good as Orbi 970

Make use of powerline or MOCA adapters (coaxial) to get them ethernet wired instead of having them connected wirelessly, tends to be more reliable that way

The power line ones are not dependable and prone to interference and noise issues
@BenLeonard79 4 ай бұрын
MOCA is the way to go if you can't run Ethernet cables through your house. I just installed a mesh system in a 6500 sq ft house using this method and each router was getting gigabit speeds. It won't affect your cable TV signal either since it operates on a different frequency band than cable.

@steve98ex 4 ай бұрын
Pretty sure the Orbi app only does a speed test to the satellite, not to your phone. I’ve tried the standalone app in the phone and have more expected results. Maybe they’ve changed that but I’m sure you still get plenty of speed out there with something like this, even if you lose half you’re still in good shape

This is borderline a commercial mesh system. Which is why the price is so high. I’ve got the google mesh and it’s average. I’ve got a bigger size house at 3500 sqft. It covers the area but the bandwidth drops dramatically. May give this a shot considering he’s get a gig speeds 150ft from the house.

This is an amazing product but well ahead of its time. Most ppl do NOT need this. Including this guy's house. This did almost nothing over a 3-400$ setup. 1gig in with a fiber line is the bare minimum unless you are running an in home media server with top-tier hardware. AKA a 10 to 12k starting setup.

Hey I have a question? When you installed the orbi 970 into your modem did you plug in your Ethernet cable into your modem and PC Laptop first in order to do the configuration or is it all on wifi network and the ip address. I just recently just bought the orbi 970 and I also bought a new modem cause our ISP gave us a modem and router to rent but we hate that so we recently just bought the NETGEAR nighthawk CM3000

@gary56 2 ай бұрын
The TP-Link BE85 was better than the Orbi 970. It had faster speeds and less issues which the issues hopefully would be fixed with firmware updates. For the price the TP-Link would be the better choice.
@nitinrampal6476 4 ай бұрын
Hi Guys, that's misleading information with regards to your speed test via WiFi. The test you showed in cul-de-sac is connection to the router and not your phone over WiFi. So not a real world WiFi range test.

Does this router have the SFP port or do you have to bridge your Internet providers router with this?? I have AT&T fiber, Internet, and the ONT box I have is connected to their router by the SFP port. I’m trying to choose between this and the TP link Wi-Fi 7 rout.

I bought three of these for my home and what a waste of money. I wanted perfect wifi for my Vive XR Elite. FIrst is that Netgear agrees that they won't connect at the speeds required for Vive, 6E. They're also just buggy and disconnect at times. I upgraded from a Netgear 5Ghz that was maybe 4-years old and this was a bad purchase.

I believe even phones don't support wifi 7 yet. But they will soon and to download 8k content may require something this fast. But when you talk about 50+ devices, all on wifi at same time, you're just looking for max speed whether it's wifi6 or 6e or 7 and strong coverage from a good mesh system

Gigabits are not the same as GigaBytes (Gb vs GB). 1 Byte is equal to 8 bits. So you overstated the speed of this product by a multiple of 8.
