Expert opinion
I recently had the pleasure of reviewing the NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi System RBK40. This is a new type of connected system for seamless wireless coverage throughout your home. It replaces your current router, and works with your modem and internet service to cover up to 4000 square feet with high performance WiFi.
The setup process was surprisingly simple and straightforward. The included Quick Start guide made installation a breeze, and I was able to have the system set up in minutes. The Orbi Router RBR40 and Orbi Satellite RBS40 provide excellent coverage that is free from dead zones and buffering issues, making it ideal for larger homes with multiple users. The dedicated backhaul connection between each point ensures strong data flow for all your devices.
The NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi System RBK40 also comes with Smart Parental Controls by Circle with Disney to help parents keep their kids safe online. These controls allow parents to filter content, manage screen time, and stay informed about what their children are doing online. Furthermore, the Orbi app makes it easy to monitor and control your home network from anywhere on any device.
Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the NETGEAR Orbi Whole Home Mesh WiFi System RBK40. It offers reliable wireless coverage throughout my home with no dead zones or buffering issues. Additionally, its user friendly design makes installation fast and easy, while its advanced parental controls keep kids safe online. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a reliable mesh wifi system for their home or office.
