Tricky to set up but super fast and stable Wi-Fi when successful
I already had an Orbi RBR20 and one RBS20 satellite which was working pretty well. I wanted to add a second satellite to get a little better coverage at the far corners of my house where I have a Wi-Fi enabled sprinkler controller on an outside wall and two Wi-Fi enabled garage door openers. Starting at the result, I got just what I was looking for namely much improved signal strength at the far points from my router. So I am very pleased. I do have to say that the Netgear Orbi RBR20/ RBS20 system can be frustrating in set up. It's just hard to believe how much difficulty the router can have finding the satellites. When I first set up this router system two years ago I had difficulty getting the router to locate the satellite which was sitting 25 feet away with no obstacles, walls or appliances in between. After a dozen or so attempts I ultimately I unplugged the satellite and moved it next to the router and tried to pair them again; that worked. Then I unplugged the satellite, moved it back where I wanted it and plugged it back in. Low and behold the router found the satellite, mission accomplished.
Fast forward to this month and when I got the new satellite I tried the setup as the Orbi app instructs and had no luck. It was the same as last time. So I moved both satellites next to the router, reran setup and there they were. I then moved them to where I wanted them and they found each other when plugged in again; mission accomplished.
The speed throughout my house including outside at the sprinkler controller and garage door openers is amazing. Indoors I can watch shows I have recorded on distant recorders with ease. Streaming is a breeze and there are no weak spots in my network.

Vast Improvement
Even though I have the Orbi router and two satellites, wi fi reception in one section of my house was spotty. My techie son in law set this up for me. The written instructions that were enclosed plus the step by step instructions in the Orbi app made setup a cinch. Once the new satellite was up and running it vastly improved the wifi reception in that section of the house. The satellite I received appears to be new or very well restored. I don’t know if it’s manufactured by Netgear but it works very well with my existing system. I would not hesitate to purchase this providing that its compatible with your existing system.

Needed to expand my ORBI mess network into the garage and yard surrounding it. Just had to do a factory reset and it was pretty much plug and play.

Just what I needed
The router-turned-satellite is working just as advertised. It arrived via USPS quite promptly in good condition. It took a couple tries to get it joined up to my existing Orbi mesh, but I blame that on NetGear's less than perfect software, rather than on the product itself. With a little patience and persistence, I got it connected and it is extending the range of my home network just as desired.Read full review...

A must for anyone with internet
This is a great product. We have US Cellular. Couldn't get a signal in our lower level. With this we have a great signal. Easy to set up. Highly recommend.

worked to extend my wifi, but missing a button on the back and had to use a paper clip to get to it.

This is a router and satellite and won't connect to existing network!
Advertised as satellite, not router. I only need the satellites so it was a waste of money! Spent hours trying to register it because it's preowned and Netgear wouldn't register it. And, it's not able to connect to my existing network. I like the Orbi system, but this has been totally useless.Read full review...
