**Setting Up and Using the Orbi System**

The setup process for the Orbi system is straightforward and requires minimal technical expertise. To begin, place the router somewhere in your home that's a fair distance away from your existing router but still within communication range. The satellite is AC powered and completely wireless, making it easy to install almost anywhere in your home without it sticking out. Modern design features ensure that the Orbi system can be easily integrated into any home decor.

The Orbi system offers several advantages over traditional Wi-Fi solutions. For one, it provides a reliable and consistent connection throughout your home, even in areas with thick walls or other obstructions. This is particularly useful for homes with large properties or hard-to-reach areas that require additional coverage. The system also includes outdoor satellites, making it ideal for homes with gardens or outdoor living spaces.

One of the standout features of the Orbi system is its integration with Amazon Alexa virtual assistants. When paired with an Echo device, the Orbi system provides a seamless and voice-controlled Wi-Fi experience. This makes it easy to manage your network, check internet usage, and even control your smart home devices all from the comfort of your own home.

**Performance and Results**

In our testing, the Orbi system proved to be incredibly effective in improving my home's Wi-Fi performance. I first set up the router alone and disabled all satellites for a test of what the single Rooter could do on its own. To my surprise, every room in the house received a usable signal, a feat I've never experienced with other Wi-Fi routers.

However, when I added additional satellites to the system, the performance really took off. My internet speed remained consistently strong across each room in the house, and downloading games on all devices became a breeze. The fact that the Orbi system could penetrate through two sets of external brick walls to reach one of our study areas was truly impressive.

The system also includes Gigabit Ethernet ports on each satellite, making it easy to connect non-wireless devices such as printers, Smart TVs, and desktop PCs without needing a separate Wi-Fi connection. This feature solves a common problem many of us face: struggling to get a reliable internet connection in our home's nooks and crannies.

**Managing Your Network with the Orbi App**

The Orbi app is an incredibly useful tool for managing your network. With features like real-time monitoring, customizable parental controls, and detailed usage reports, you can stay in control of your family's internet activity from anywhere. The app also includes support for Disney's Circle parental controls, allowing you to set age filters and limit access to certain websites or services at specific times.

Additionally, the Orbi app provides peace of mind with features like automatic software updates, network monitoring, and alerts for any issues that may arise. This means you can focus on enjoying your home Wi-Fi experience without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

**Conclusion**

The Orbi system is a game-changer for anyone struggling to get reliable Wi-Fi coverage in their home. Its unique design makes it easy to install and integrates seamlessly with Amazon Alexa virtual assistants, providing a voice-controlled experience like no other. With its impressive performance, customizable features, and user-friendly app, the Orbi system is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade their home's internet connectivity.

Whether you're a busy professional or a tech-savvy homeowner, the Orbi system offers a solution that's both practical and enjoyable. Its compact design ensures it won't stick out in your home decor, making it easy to integrate into any space. With its powerful performance and feature-rich app, the Orbi system is sure to revolutionize the way you experience Wi-Fi in your own home.

**Final Thoughts**

As someone who's always on the lookout for innovative solutions to common problems, I'm thrilled to share my experience with the Orbi system. While it may not be perfect – no product is – this system truly delivers when it comes to providing a reliable and consistent Wi-Fi connection throughout your home. If you're like me and constantly find yourself battling with spotty internet coverage, the Orbi system is definitely worth considering.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI'm lucky enough to live in a street with superfast fiber broadband and downloading games on my gaming PC is never really an issue but that is all over a wired connection and if we want to talk wireless well unfortunately there is a very different story indeed it is actually really frustrating because despite having somewhat decent infrastructure my signal just isn't as good as it should be and even then things just seem to drop off the network for no reason whatsoever and it really is honestly driving me insane and this is why I was really excited when Netgear got in touch and wanted a sponsor this video as they've actually sent out there or be Wi-Fi package which aims to solve your networking woes with a simple easy and reliable Wi-Fi anywhere in your home the problems a lot of us have is that the house will have very thick walls multiple floors or just a huge footprint which single Reuters alone really can't handle so the solution really is actually quite simple is to use multiple access points throughout your home and this will rebroadcast the signal into all of the areas that you can't reach and this will then mean that your whole house will have some form of Wi-Fi signal but the problem with this is if you've ever tried a Wi-Fi extender you'll notice that they only really seem to just rebroadcast the same existing signal which is probably going to be in a weaker area in the first place and then you're gonna have to connect to that and you're gonna have to then reconnect to the other network whenever you want to go to the other part of your house and you're fine that is actually quite prone to dropouts because if one connection goes down then the other one is surely going to join as well NIC is or B actually solves these problems on all fronts and the RB k-50 kit that was supplied by Netgear actually genuinely surprised me in a lot of ways the unboxing experience reminds you that this really is a luxury bit of kit and it reveals a clear set of instructions as well as two access points that come together to form the network the first is the router which works pretty much as you'd expect and it creates a really strong signal that you can connect to from very large distances away along with AC speeds that are allow you to download files and strain 4k video with ease the second piece of the puzzle may look quite similar but rather than a Rooter this is in fact as satellites and actually acts as a second access point which when positioned in the middle of your house it actually makes your Wi-Fi coverage far far superior to any single router it is really just physics and the thing that is really clever about it is how they then communicate with each other to give you that strong and reliable signal because unlike a repeater or an extender they don't simply take the signal and rebroadcast it there's actually a dedicated backhaul connection between the different or B systems which keeps everything in check allows you to maintain fast speeds and yet it knows where you are in the house so you're always connected to the thing that you're meant to be connected to with the fastest speeds and you're not actually then affecting the maximum bandwidth that you can have and share between devices because you've got that dedicated backhaul connection and this creates what's known as a mesh network for the most reliable and long-range networking solution set up is incredibly straightforward and I really like that you can do this the old-fashioned way with a computer or with the shiny or be mobile app really quite neat all you need to do is grab the or be Rooter plug this into your internet modem with the supplied Ethernet cable and then connect to AC power via the mains the or B app will take you through the whole process and it's here that you can add the name of your new network set the password update the firmware on the device and loads and loads of other additional features you'll then need to add in the satellite when instructed place this somewhere in your home that's a fair distance away from your router but still within communication range the satellite is AC powered but otherwise it's completely wireless and thanks to the modern non spidery design you can slip this insert almost anywhere in your home without it sticking out something that you're not going to get from typical networking solutions and that's pretty much all you need to do to set this up it is really really straightforward and it's something that's going to take you minutes not hours you're always able to expand this further if you live in a really big property or if you just have some really hard to reach spots and this actually also includes outdoor satellites for coverage in your garden for instance but NIC gear also sent me out something really special it is quite literally the smartest Wi-Fi module I've ever come across as it's not only a mesh satellite but it's actually also a fully fledged Amazon Alexa smart speaker and this means that you're going to get a better Wi-Fi connection for all of your devices while having an awesome sounding sound system that is perfect for Sunday Spotify setup is the same as the other satellites with the exception of then using the or B app to sign in to Amazon and then set up your virtual assistant how much is that doggie in the window adding doggie with a waggle detail to your shopping basket just kidding brilliant now all of this is all well and good but a fancy looking Rooter system is one thing solid performance is another so exactly how well did this fix my problems in a nutshell actually really rather well I knew it would make a big difference but I had no idea it would prove this fruitful looking in the results I first set up the or B router and then disabled all of the satellites for a test of what the single Rooter can do alone and I've actually used a lot of Wi-Fi routers that will barely get past my dining room yet with this every single room in the house gets a usable signal something I don't think I've ever seen before in the study once you add in the additional satellites though the party really gets started my internet speed is consistently carried across each room in the house and downloading games on all of their devices my home over Wi-Fi is no longer a chore even the once unreachable study now has great signal which is very impressive when you think that or B has to go through two sets of external brick walls to actually reach this if you're using devices that aren't wireless remember that each satellite does come packing its own set of Gigabit Ethernet ports so if you're using things like printers Smart TVs desktop PCs these can now all be connected without needing a Wi-Fi connection of their own and I think you're agree with me that these solve a very real problem that most of us have probably experienced and the fact that you can extend these with additional satellites or maybe one of these smart speakers it does show you that no matter what sort of home you have you can actually get a Wi-Fi solution for you that's not gonna require professional installation and yet is still gonna solve the problem I'm also a big fan of the app as well which might not sound like something you're really going to need after you've set this up but it is actually an incredibly useful tool to help you manage your network by seeing who's connecting and when as well as having all of the hard core features that you'd expect from a net get Rooter it's also very easy to stay in control of your family's usage as there's baked in support for Disney's circle parental controls and it's here that you're able to set age filters to ensure your kids are viewing the appropriate content at the right times so while Instagram for instance might be great during the evenings while you're watching TV and they're entertaining themselves it's probably not really a good idea to have your child browsing through all of these things during homework time you can of course take manual control by setting internet times on and off as you please viewing
