I'd give it 4.5 stars. It'd be a true 5-star item if 1. there is an external antenna option for high gain antennas and 2. ethernet ports. There need to be ethernet ports.
Update (Nov-2019): I have Fios and originally purchased the Orbi router and indoor satellite from Verizon. To get additional coverage outside, I purchased the outdoor satellite from Verizon, which failed to sync. After long delays with tech support and both Verizon and Netgear claiming it was the other firm’s responsibility to provide support. After Netgear tech support inaccurately indicated that “any” Netgear Orbi system would connect to the Fios setup, i simply returned the verizon outdoor satellite for a full refund. I then purchased the outdoor unit from Amazon (to avoid the multi-hour wait for Verizon support). As previously noted, this unit would sync, then every minute or so, would disconnect and initiate the resync process. Over the next 5- months (May to Oct 2019), I continued my contact with Netgear tech support who attempted multiple reboots, replacement units (4 to date), and to ultimately be told there is nothing ”we can do”. After some internal discussions with their Level 3 techs, a non-Verizon Orbi outdoor satellite will never work with a Verizon Orbi router due to differences in the firmware. Netgear can not provide compatible, matchingVerizon firmware on any Orbi units. So, Netgear’s delay in diagnosing this problem (over 5-months) has extended well-beyond the Amazon return policy for the purchased unit and they offer no solution (including refund, compatible outdoor or indoor satellite replacement), except for me to buy another Orbi satellite direct from Verizon (understanding that my 1st outdoor unit did not work). So, I am out $350 and wasted about 16 hours working with these so-called technical support folks over the past 5-months on multiple replacement/returned units. I think I might use my $350 “rock” as a paper weight and friendly reminder of how customer service by these giant companies often fail to properly satisfy the sole residential customer. So, BUYER BEWARE. I wonder how many others had similar frustrating experiences?!?!
If you already have an Orbi Mesh network in your home, this is super easy to setup. I put it next to my Orbi Router, plugged it in and hit sync on the Outdoor Satellite and then hit sync on my Orbi Router. Configured within 10 minutes!
After having issues with a different device, Amazon accommodated me with refunds of the previous units as well as vendor’s charges as their support wasn't helping.
Like I said, if you already have Orbi, or need a great mesh system for your home, I can't recommend anything else and I've tried several. It isn't cheap, but the saying "you get what you pay for" is certainly applicable to Netgear's Orbi system.
