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.
