According to our expansion for routers expert
Increase the range of your Netgear Orbi Multi-Room WiFi system with this extra Orbi Micro RBS20 satelite. It allows you to expand your WiFi network to cover rooms that fall out of range with your current Orbi base station or where satellites don't have enough range. The base station and the satellites communicate via a special connection, allowing you to maintain a constant connection. Useful if you walk around the house with your smartphone. By using the network ports on the extra satellite, you can also connect your smart TV or desktop computer to the network. With a maximum speed of 866 Mbps you can stream HD movies, download, and game at high speed all around the house.

I am very satisfied with the Netgear Orbi (3 units). Nice thing, works well. Even though the wifi equipment around me is really dying (neighbors left, right, front and back and I see (measure) all their equipment).
Keep in mind that in a modern house with thick concrete floors, the units still don't make an ideal wireless connection with each other. I have now connected the unit on the bg and 2nd floor via cable (ethernet). Unit on the 1st floor is right below the unit on the 2nd, but they indicate that they have a bad connection with each other. Usually you don't notice that much, but wifi on the 1st hiccups occasionally (on the bg and 2nd absolutely not). I'm going to lay another cable there.
So would advise with modern concrete floors; lay a cable or place the units approximately within sight of each other via, for example, the stairwell.

After years of fiddling with different routers and a very bad connection, I took the plunge and ordered the Netgeat Orbi.
Many places in the house usually had between 5mbps and 10mbps while in the backyard it was impossible. After calling Ziggo that the router/modem had to be switched to the ''bridge'' function, the installation went smoothly. I recommend doing the entire installation on the PC/MAC because the app is not that useful.
It took me a while to figure out where I could best place the satellites, but after finding a suitable place I have at least 100mbps even in the farthest corners!!!! (and even in the backyard). Also everything is now connected under the same network, no separate wifi signals with 2.4ghz & 5ghz. After the easiest installation ever, I can now immediately visit the group of friends because they also want the Netgear Orbi at home. The units are small and easy to hide and switch flawlessly without buffering or slow internet.
The price seems on the high side but it is not for nothing that Netgear has a patent on this technology. IT FUNCTIONS! I am finally rid of slow web pages or poor netflix quality. It's worth every dollar and I wouldn't want another Mesh system.

After first having bought the Linksys Velop which was totally not working, after many hours I tried the Orbi which worked in 20 minutes!
This works fine after a week of use. In places where I previously only got internet via the power network, I now get it wirelessly via these Orbis. App works flawlessly and everything is easy to set up. The size was not too bad for me and in addition, the blue light on the picture is not visible when everything is set up. So buy if you want to cover everything and you have some money to spare :-)
