Installation: Was thrilled with how easy it was! had read that it took people hours.. What are they doing? I unboxed, downloaded the orbi app on my Iphone and had the whole system up in less than 5 mins! Literally seamless.
Performance: Here we are thrilled too! Not only is every corner of the house touched now, but I have wired internet upstairs for my Tivo mini thanks to the satellite. We have 8-9 IOS devices attached and there has not been one drop so far (knock on wood)! We have a total of 25 devices on or attached (Philips Hue, Amazon Echoes, Amazon Fire Sticks, Tivo, Apple TV, etc) and the network handles great.
Only Cons: The only hiccup has been the firmware. Out of the box our set had 1.8.5.0 firmware. I saw on the Netgear site that they now have 2.0.5.0 firmware available. I went to the orbilogin.com page to access the settings of the router, but it was telling me that there was no new firmware available. Scared after reading all these reviews that I should have the latest firmware I did a manual update. While not convenient, it was very simple and took 5 mins. No change in performance with new firmware outside of some new features (internal speedtest and ability to daisy-chain the satellites if you have more than 2).
Conclusion: Extremely happy with ease of installation and especially performance. I would higher recommend the RBK40 at these price levels where they compete very well again the other non tri-band mesh networks like google wifi and eero. BTW, the tri-band feature of having a dedicated back haul for the units to speak without interference is in my opinion a deal breaker not to have!! Why would google and eero not offer the ability for the router to have their own band like the Orbi? By having the satellites talk using the same band you are using to connect your devices cuts the signal by AT LEAST 50% to start, then you go from there.. Why start down 50%? Get an Orbi!
The problem with my WiFi was readily apparent when I would stream music across all of the speakers in my multi-room audio system (Chromecast); I would get audio drops every couple of minutes, consistently. So my internet provided offered me 150/150 service at the same price as 100/100 and I decided to take it. Before they upgraded my service I purchased the Orbi. Wow! What a difference in signal strength, coverage and reliability. I have the router at the front of my home and the satellite in the middle of my home. Now when I stream across all of the Chromecast speakers I don't get any dropouts. The audio plays flawlessly. I can stream to 11 speakers over 9 zones as well as multiple streams of 1080p video and browse the net and view my security cams and Nest Hello doorbell at the same time across multiple devices without drops in audio or video. This is the system that I needed and decided to get after researching similar WiFi systems. All in all the Orbi has done wonders for my WiFi. It's stronger and better than before.

Antes de tener estos satelites tenia el airport express de apple, una base y repetidor, sin embargo a pesar de tener contratado el internet de 200 megas ya a mi estudio solo llegaban alrededor de 20.
Ahora con este me llegan aproximadamente 170 - 180 megas a mi estudio que esta en un segundo piso y en la planta baja alrededor de 190 megas.
Increible que ahora todos los videos de youtube se ponen en 1080p todo el tiempo.
