I've collected 2 R6300v1s, 1R6300v2, 1 WRT1900AC, and 1 R6200. And I have Ethernet runs going between them to each room. Most expensive one was 24 USD and I got all of them at thrift stores.
just cause you have that kind of setup doesn't mean you have it setup to work well or to be setup at a technical level where your not the only one in the house that utliizes all that infrastructure, AND the main reason to go to a setup like this is when you CAN't run Ethernet all over the place, and you want better to be able to get more then 15-30 meg down speeds on the secondary APs
i check youtube minimum 2 or 3 times a day for new stuff, soooo, i dont need notification ether, plus my phone is old and will not let me know if a vid comes out when im out and about
Julia has a great presence on here, I enjoy watching and hearing what she has to say. She has a warm and trustworthy voice and her eyes are intoxicating as her personality comes through during the story joined together with her body language as she tries to show humor or emphasis. TY. That one guy still sounds annoying with his voice being high pitched/animated, though I still think he has a good presence on here.
You should probably explain that the mesh clients need to be in a range of the base station that it is receiving a full bandwidth signal so that it can actually expand the network at full speed, if it's receiving a poor signal from the base station it will suffer similarly to other range extender devices.
I use power line and a router for my room. Powerline takes the data from main router, transfer the signal to next power line via the home electrical system the routes the signal back to the room router where I can have both wifi and wired signal connection.
The Deco m9 plus is the best mesh system that I have tried. I've used, orbi, amplifi and Google mesh systems and am most satisfied with the Deco. I highly recommend it. There are actually 3 or 4 different types of mesh routers and from my experience the Deco is the best and on sale for 200 black Friday!
The problem with Deco is they only have two ports on the router and one of them is for your cable modem so you really only have one. This is rediculous. A wireless router needs at least four additional ethernet ports for your local hardwired devices. As much as I would love to get a Deco system because of the many, many positive reviews on TP-Link's mesh system this makes the Deco a non-starter for me.
This is a pretty sweet piece of kit. Looks good, works well, does not drop a single Mb on the satellite. This is a cost>tinkering product. Recommend it to your annoying friends that always complain and have the cash to burn. Saves me the headache.
So here's the thing. I can pick up and AC wireless router for $35. I'm not seeing the difference in setting up the same SSID on each router turning off DHCP on all but one router and bridge each router together via a cat6 cable connected to it's switch port to backhaul the data. Wouldn't this essentially give me similar performance? Keep in mind I don't have to put the router into any type of repeater mode or bridge mode in it's software GUI for this to work. I've been doing this for years and it's worked out really well for me. My question is how is this different from MES WiFi?
They should definitely have some indicator in the video and not only in the description, i can totally agree with that. But other than that there's nothing wrong with sponsored content.
You compared the Orbi mesh to repeaters or adding another router, but where was the comparison to Ubiquiti, TP-Link, Cisco etc WAP's? I have two TP-Link WAP's installed on CAT6 off my legacy Netgear router and range and through put are excellent. That's about $150 of hardware (not covering the CAT cable) to cover 3k square feet which is quite a bit less expensive than these Mesh setups. Thoughts, comments, comparisons?
Lots of negative comments about these types of systems here. I'm still considering the Orbi, but I recently installed a 3 unit Google WiFi (to try it out). My house has zero network or coax wiring...just one spot where the cable enters the house. Everything is finished, with zero attic space in a large portion of the house. I would love to have a full UniFi AP setup with coax and Ethernet run to every room of the house, but the cost/hassle of having to cut and patch drywall is too high. Enter mesh WiFi. With the three units spread around my 2500sqft 4 level split house, I consistently get 100-150 Mbps of my 150 Mbps Comcast connection via WiFi. I hard wired a computer to one of the satellites clear across the house from the base unit and got a full 150 there as well. I also hard wired my TiVo Roamio and Mini to the units so that I can finally get a TV working upstairs and it works flawlessly.
well for my house, 6k square foot I got a Netgear hawk router, and 2 Netgear hawk extenders wich set up as access points and they cover my house good, in the weakest spot I still get 50mb out of 200mb cox, but no outdoor coverage tho, $120 for each extender and the router $150 2 years ago, if this one got cheaper and can cover up to 8k square foot I might consider it.
This is a very common mistake, these are NOT MESH, they are Bridges, the definition of a MESH WLAN is a WLAN that has more then a single path back to the network, the purpose being is that there is no single point of failure. So in order to have a MESH you MUST have two base APs and two APs arranged so your device can see both of the APs. This way you can have any AP go down and still have WLAN connection.
Julia Zhang... Please start introducing yourself at the beginning of your Videos. I believe this would help connect/personalize yourself to your viewers and have a greater impact! Amazing job btw.
Problem is this. What if I want to have a home network on Wired & Wireless? Deal is, if I go out the modem, it's not on the home network router which many of the devices (mostly wired) are connected to. From my understanding it's not possible to create a homegroup or access PCs, Printers and other devices across both devices (Orbi & Existing Router Setup). Solutions?
My family just bought this exact kit about two weeks ago after our old ISP-provided router literally cooked itself due to how many devices and bandwidth we were using on our gigabit connection. Honestly we couldn't have been happier; it's super fast, the range is surprisingly good for our 4200 square-foot home, and they actually look which is important, especially for the extender which sits exposed in the middle of the house. Would highly recommend, especially if you still have that ISP-provided router running the show.
im having a little trouble understanding the solution. my wifi in my home tends to get crowded with 8 people with their own multiple devices and so every now and then I lose connection and can no longer reconnect. I also have 2 repeaters that constantly lose their own signal. If I purchase a tri-band router will this solve my problem? Will i get stable connection even through my repeaters?
Nice, but still not what I really want - because it has that white thing, which needs to always be on. I just want point-to-point between all of my systems at the same time - in graph theory, a "connected graph". Wi-Fi Direct isn't what I'm looking for, either, because it still makes a star network with one of my laptops at the centre. Basically, I want my Wi-Fi to work like the original, Xerox PARC wired ethernet worked.
Think the trick would be finding a pair that allows to make a channel private for communication between them and them sharing the very same SSID (not just the name you put there).
Well my Asus RT-AC88U has 500m2 coverage and so is already too op for me and delivers incredible speed and these suckers cost way too much compared to the ac88u.
Netgear Orbi > Google Wifi. Its also worth mentioning that Google will collect and sell your browsing data (unless you opt out) while the Netgear Orbi wont and the Netgear Orbi has better hardware specs.
just a couple things that need to be said, if u have internet that's on the strong side of 50 meg down or more, then you need to start thinkin about always usin the 5Ghz AC wifi to get ur full speeds all the time on all your devices, that includes, laptops, cell phones, wireless Desktops n other wireless streaming devices, I am tired of people complainin they don't get their full 100-150 meg down when their on 2.4Ghz N wifi when sometimes they are already using an AC router.... its one thing to have non-tech people not realizing this, but this is a tech channel... tech people need to know better
I'll be more specific. As its quite helpful and conceptually simple, its rather surprising that it hasn't acquired mainstream acceptance until relatively recently.
hello. I know this is an old video but I was just wondering, I live in Canada and my internet provider is shaw. so I have to still use my provider router to use orbi? like shaw router connects to the orbi router?
She described that your devices might not be "smart" enough to reconnect to the closest repeater when moving among your APs, and what was said wasn't necessarily wrong, but is a bit misleading. Android had actually originally supported this sort of thing; automatically (re-)connecting to the strongest AP on an SSID. However, Apple pulled their same old patent bullshit and forced Android to have to abandoned it or face legal issues, and therefor you can now only connect to the strongest signal when you first connect, rather than continually checking signal strength and connecting to the nearest AP as you move. Of course, since this is a patent thing that prevents Android from doing themselves, it can be done with installing additional apps. I use an app called "Roaming Wifi Fix" and it works beautifully in my home (3 APs).
That's cool and all but what about the security aspect of it? Netgear is notorious for there Zero day exploits and one click malware. Or worse yet they become part of a botnet that knocks the west coast offline for 3 days...
Do you really need a mesh technology on hand? if its for home only you be fine with just the regular out of box product, mesh tech are devolved for sole purpose of redundancy and reliability, if you leave in the farm and want connectivity then go for it. We been using Mesh Tech (MIMO) by Rajant and it covers hectares of network this product is amazing as long as you establish solid and indepth knowledge of this product.
When you're explaining the "multiple routers" thing, that's very wrong. An enterprise solution might have a single high capacity router and multiple access points. Saying they have multiple routers to connect to is incredibly misleading.
Just go for regular router if your house is small. Those products are for people with big ass houses and have the first world problem of wifi not reaching the kitchen from the living room.
I spent just a total of 180USD for 3 routers (1 AC1900 and 2 AC1200) and set them up as a wireless mesh network with the 5GHz band as backhaul. Far cry from $425. The advantages of being a techie
I have 5 routers worth 300 each as a mesh setup in my huge mansion. Just like everyone else who watches your videos.
Oh the irony
and here i am not being able to even afford overwatch for pc.
Fear Blade I was being sarcastic.

Been there for 3 years but now I have a job :)
Still don't have a life tho... Job takes it away
eero FTW! It has been running solid for the past 5 months, no more signal drop and uninterrupted internet signal.
4:36 "Netgear orbi was consistently faster than other home mesh Wi-Fi systems"
Literally only the best in one category.

soon as Philip Defranco got his new office space setup a few weeks ago, they had an obvious ad for this in their vlog.

Used it at work with the Meraki's for a while. Works really well.
I have one of these and they work really well. I wish I could understand what she was talking about. For example: SS ID, IP, mesh technology.
I can't go another day without the tech neeuuueewwssss!
6 minute ads, wow TH-cam.
Really stepping up that game
make a video about what you sell... get paid for views.. get paid for selling it.. ez money ez life
adblock my bro!!!
i just signed up for google play music and got youtube red with it for 10 bucks a month works great no adds
Yay, no addds!
ublock origin on chrome kills all ads.

This is a cost>tinkering product.
Recommend it to your annoying friends that always complain and have the cash to burn.
Saves me the headache.
am i the only one that thinks the orbi are ridiculously big?
You might want to include the sponsor link in the description, you forgot to add it to the end of the template URL.
So here's the thing. I can pick up and AC wireless router for $35.

My question is how is this different from MES WiFi?
Sponsered content? wheres the other brands ?
It's sponsored, yes. No reason to have other brands in the same video.
The problem is they dont tell you they got paid to say these things.
The whole video is just a commercial.
They should definitely have some indicator in the video and not only in the description, i can totally agree with that. But other than that there's nothing wrong with sponsored content.
If it was sponsored, they would have said so.
It's not sponsored. NCIX is a retailer showing off products they want to sell.
That beam forming should be pretty widened unless they localize it.

Saying an AP isn't good enough is idiotic. Bad tips to sell a sponsor's product is bad form. I use Cisco APs at my work and we seem to be doing fine.
Man I wish there was some place I could buy the product showcased in this video.
For file transfers, you're still limited to 1 x 1 gig port no matter where you are for all of your wireless devices to share.
I miss this channel
well for my house, 6k square foot I got a Netgear hawk router, and 2 Netgear hawk extenders wich set up as access points and they cover my house good, in the weakest spot I still get 50mb out of 200mb cox, but no outdoor coverage tho, $120 for each extender and the router $150 2 years ago, if this one got cheaper and can cover up to 8k square foot I might consider it.
People still a bit angry about that clickbait.Julia!How bou dae.
Whats the difference between this Orbi product and deploying 2 or 3 Access points into your home network?
Quintin Derezinski watch the video
So orbi makes your internet faster?? Do u also have to register orbi with your cable provider when u hook it up
This is a very common mistake, these are NOT MESH, they are Bridges, the definition of a MESH WLAN is a WLAN that has more then a single path back to the network, the purpose being is that there is no single point of failure.

Julia Zhang... Please start introducing yourself at the beginning of your Videos. I believe this would help connect/personalize yourself to your viewers and have a greater impact! Amazing job btw.
Up to 2 hours of continuous recording!
My questin is how well does the nest router alone hold up against a traditional router. Like without any nodes
So i could get this. Or a single Ubiquity AP with better range or four of there mesh network AP's for the same price.
THANK YOU! Exactly my thoughts!

Can I link my Orb's togeather via my home wired network (cat 5E) to free up more bandwidth?
My family just bought this exact kit about two weeks ago after our old ISP-provided router literally cooked itself due to how many devices and bandwidth we were using on our gigabit connection. Honestly we couldn't have been happier; it's super fast, the range is surprisingly good for our 4200 square-foot home, and they actually look which is important, especially for the extender which sits exposed in the middle of the house.

TH-cam and Google are really stepping up their game, used to be an ad before the video, now the whole video is an ad.
Costco has a killer deal for black friday for 100 bucks off. It's like 140 bucks cheaper than amazon.
this is a better solution for my home wifi. thanks.
I think you need to do a video about the things your said you can't do an why
im having a little trouble understanding the solution. my wifi in my home tends to get crowded with 8 people with their own multiple devices and so every now and then I lose connection and can no longer reconnect. I also have 2 repeaters that constantly lose their own signal. If I purchase a tri-band router will this solve my problem? Will i get stable connection even through my repeaters?

It may be very useful for those who doesn't want to setup or arrange,but for me,a enterprise level AP is a cheaper and better choice. XD
should i get this or juicero?
So it's just a multiple router for multiple access points for the network?Can't you just buy two routers to do this with a bit of tweak?
Think the trick would be finding a pair that allows to make a channel private for communication between them and them sharing the very same SSID (not just the name you put there).
Sooo, this was just a little bit of general mesh WiFi information and mostly a big plug commercial for Orbi.
A wireless repeater is pain to configure? you mean the small devices with ONE button configuration...??
Well my Asus RT-AC88U has 500m2 coverage and so is already too op for me and delivers incredible speed and these suckers cost way too much compared to the ac88u.
Great explanation keep it up!
Where are the videos? :/
1st let me admit I'm a simple man, it took me a while to realize this was an ad. 😂😂😂. I was looking for tips and advice. Not a plug about one device
Hi .. thanks for the review . Does this system support speeds coming from fiber optics up to 200 megabytes?
It supports speeds up to 1.5 GBs coming from your modem.
Scarywesley4 thanks for feedback . appreciated.
Scarywesley4 Hi
Thanks for the feedback . appreciated . Really admire your reply on viewers posts . Other posters just don’t reply . Thanks again.
When is Li-fi coming out?
Netgear Orbi > Google Wifi. Its also worth mentioning that Google will collect and sell your browsing data (unless you opt out) while the Netgear Orbi wont and the Netgear Orbi has better hardware specs.
AT&T sell AirTies For 34.99, and support until 1600 mbps.
just a couple things that need to be said, if u have internet that's on the strong side of 50 meg down or more, then you need to start thinkin about always usin the 5Ghz AC wifi to get ur full speeds all the time on all your devices, that includes, laptops, cell phones, wireless Desktops n other wireless streaming devices, I am tired of people complainin they don't get their full 100-150 meg down when their on 2.4Ghz N wifi when sometimes they are already using an AC router....

You haven't had it until now?
I'll be more specific. As its quite helpful and conceptually simple, its rather surprising that it hasn't acquired mainstream acceptance until relatively recently.
hello. I know this is an old video but I was just wondering, I live in Canada and my internet provider is shaw. so I have to still use my provider router to use orbi? like shaw router connects to the orbi router?
Okay but how can we use this to create a mesh network internet?
Why the visual aid router is in the basement And not in the middle of the house
Thank you so much for explanation
still again .. came here for julia
I came everywhere for julia
People need to stop saying that. We already know.

Ubiquity Access Points >>>>>> Orbi
Where is the explanation how this wifi works ?
Today's episode brought to you by a device you won't ever need.
Ubiquiti is the best in both, performance and price.
Anyone know what the intro song is?
sounds more complicated than repeaters or boosters. The price is surprising shocking too and too big taking too much space
!
well quite a lot of money and the still add lot's of latency... so still no option for gaming or working on remote desktops :(
but how many devices do they support?
SpikeTiger0 I'm up to 60 devices with velop 3 nodes.
wish I knew about this a few months ago
So.. they're access points connected to a router/switch? Hm....
You Should Use it
When you're explaining the "multiple routers" thing, that's very wrong. An enterprise solution might have a single high capacity router and multiple access points. Saying they have multiple routers to connect to is incredibly misleading.

if it can't transport Julia to me in person then I'm not interested
I love you Julia!
$425

Fuck that.
100$ to fuck that.
It will be much cheaper just to run a cable though the house and add a wireless AP......

Says $425 for me. At $100 i would probably consider but at over 400 they can blow me.
Just go for regular router if your house is small. Those products are for people with big ass houses and have the first world problem of wifi not reaching the kitchen from the living room.

Im in love now 😍😍
Orbi isn't even mesh.. just 4 dedicated channels between the orbi's
