NETGEAR Orbi RBS50 Satellite Home Mesh WiFi Tri-band AC3000 w/ Adapter (Renewed)

Packaging was good. Only complaint was that it was very sticky, lol. Maybe they had wiped it down with a cleaning agent before sending it out or maybe it was sent to them sticky, idk. Wiped right off but was unexpected haha.Performance-wise... I wound up reflashing the forward but I'm not sure I had to. Not going to knock off a star because good chance I was setting it up wrong who knows. Once it was set up tho no problems works greatAlso regarding the sender... I had initially ordered the wrong refurb. So two things:1. Absolutely make sure you check the Orbi compatibility chart before buying an addon... Basically you have to buy the same ones as the original router (and not newer ones)2. The sender has no problem accepting my return. Very gracious. Would recommend this seller again.

I have a large house, and my base unit and one satellite provided great coverage for the spots I needed, but when my adult children moved in with me for a bit, we found dead spots in areas they needed covered. I added this new satellite and relocated the other satellite, and now we're without dead spots. At least until someone else moves in ...

Live in area where Cartier signal is weak, need wifi, mesh network required for my home. The Orbi Router and two satellites did the trick to cover my home with strong coverage throughout. With App, connection was eady enough.

I'm always leery of open boxed or warehouse items. At the price point of this satellite and for availability reasons I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did, it works perfectly and seamless integrated into my existing system.

We got the Orbi system a couple of years ago, and love it. With 3 units we are able to get great signal throughout the house, upstairs and downstairs. We expanded out to the she shed, but the signal wasn't strong enough to operate some devices. I tried a signal extender but that didn't work. This hooked right in with our main system and operates seamlessly. Who says old people can't figure out new technology! :-)

I placed a wireless satellite in the middle of the house because our base Orbi is located in garage and we were getting a couple of weak spots. No weak signals and speed is faster than we were getting with unit that came from fiber installation. Have full home coverage and full signal in my shop located 50 yards away.

Huge fan of Orbi since this original version came out many years ago. Now moving to a larger house, I bought this extra satellite to bolster my gig service. Works well and appears to give me more consistent coverage from every room, including the garage. Only challenge is the cost is now lower only 10 days after my purchase date. That’s disappointing.

I have a large-ish house, and struggled for ages to get acceptable WiFi everywhere. I wasted much time and effort on WiFi "extenders" - Belkin, Netgear etc - basically, don't bother. Mesh networking is the way to go. Extenders just create a new network, piggy-backing on your existing one - so when SSID "mywifi" drops signal strength, you have to hope that your device is smart enough to switch onto the extender "mywifi_extend" network. Which in most cases, it's not.Mesh networking allows seamless roaming across the whole area of coverage, so that you don't need to know or care which satellite your device is actually talking to.This is pricey, but if you have a large property, a game-changer.My one complaint? I bought this because I had an Orbi router and two satellites originally, but lost one of the satellites in a house move. After months of fruitless searching, I ordered this one to replace it.... ...and found the missing unit a week later. Oh well. The Orbi system copes brilliantly with 3 satellites and my WiFi signal now covers my entire house (and probably most of the Pacific Northwest).
