Ratings and reviews

The router system is very good and reliable. However, the app has been very buggy, specifically in relation to SPC. I sometimes have trouble moving devices between groups. And almost daily, some devices get stuck in a blocked mode even though SPC says they should be on, requiring a router reboot. I have factory reset the router but did not help

Now I can't sign in at all. "Something went wrong. Try again." Successfully reset password, but same problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Don't use the app very often, so don't know when this started, but was happening about a month ago and is still happening (didn't try in between because was hoping it would be fixed by an app update). Even better than fixing signin would be: don't make me sign into a mobile app at all. Let me just sign into the router, like previous Netgear routers did.

Just installed the 970 and one satellite. Decent coverage and speed but I'll need to add a 2nd satellite to improve connections with distant cameras (currently 100 feet away from router). The distant cameras will connect but show a low (1 bar) connection. Hopefully, the additional satellite placed inside the garage will solve that problem. I like the Orbi analytics as you can see each device and can choose to block it. I'm not sure why it only shows 63 connected devices when I have over 100.
