Did the trick!
So far it’s been great, my office is furthest from the router so I would always get kicked off my VPN, this solved the issue.

Sadly Disappointed
I did a lot of research on my internet speed and what type of wifi extender I needed for my house and which one would work best with my modum.
I decided to go with the Orbi because I thought it would work the best with the AT&T internet service since it was being sold directly on the AT&T site.
Unfortuntately, three people who are all tech savvy could not make it connect correctly and it could never hook up with its satellite.

I had to return it after trying for two weeks to get it to work. My son-in-law found a much cheaper version and was able to connect it in just a few minutes.
I am sadly disappointed in the product I was sent since I trusted that if AT&T was selling it, it would be compatible and easy to use.
I am grateful for being able to return it to AT&T and I am hoping to get my refund soon.

Fantastic Coverage and Reliability
3 years ago
So I got this mesh system to replace my router and repeater that were driving me nuts with reliability issues. This system works great! I'm getting 5g connections reliably whereas in the past, I only got that connection close to my router or repeater. I'd say the range of these is great! Also, of note, I don't see that the speed decreases when the signal is being received by the satellite unit. I get 120mbps five feet from the main unit, and I get that much connected to the satellite 20 feet away. Really remarkable! Oh, and this: it works great with a tv streaming video in one part of the house while several other items are also attached with no reliability issues. This is my favorite and best wifi system I've ever owned and I am literally in awe that I don't have to mess with wifi anymore - it's done! I just want to stare at the little white cubes and admire them.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Easy setup and fast speeds!
4 years ago
With my old router we would only get up to 50mbps and the signal would constantly cut off, but now with this mesh system we get about 170 mbps speed!
The setup was very easy, covers our entire home and we can finally enjoy the speeds we are paying for.

Slow

Very slow and frequently drops connection. The app essentially doesn't work at all as it just says "failed to do x". It's been very frustrating.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: I have the BGW210 and highest available internet plan offered available in the last Ten years. My question is would this allow my wifi internet to connect more than the current three devices at a time if not how besides changing internet pr
4 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hi @HeyitsBob, The primary goal of extenders is to improve Wi-Fi signal over distance, it does not increase your plan speed. If you have more questions or want more information, post your question in the AT&T Community Forums: https://forums.att.com/. ChrisZ, AT&T Community Specialist4 years agoHelpful?
Q: Will this work with my current DSL line?
4 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hi @Cbcsjc1, If you are trying to improve Wi-Fi, you can use it. Please note, this does not speed up your service. If you have 6Mbps, for example, this will just expand coverage, not raise speeds above your plan. ChrisZ, AT&T Community Specialist4 years agoHelpful?
Q: I'm trying to use my AT&T internet on my patio. Will this make the signal stronger out there?
4 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hi @RP1979, It depends on why your signal is weak. If it is weak because the modem is far, yes, this can improve it if you place the extender in a neutral location. If it is because there is an environmental issue causing slow speeds, it may not. ChrisZ, AT&T Community Specialist4 years agoHelpful?
Q: Can I purchase this wifi extender inside AT&T stores?
4 years ago1 Answer
- A: If the stores have them in stock @Lorena1. If a store near you has them, it will appear on the product page and uses your internet IP to locate a store near you. ChrisZ, AT&T Community Specialist4 years agoHelpful?
Q: Will this work with hotspot on iPhone?
4 years ago1 Answer
- A: Hello Kate0421, The iPhone hotspot may work with your Orbi, but the it works best with your Internet service provider and is recommended for homes with download speeds up to 50Mbps. Using your phone's hotspot depends on coverage and the plan you have. Thanks, Jessica, AT&T Community Specialist4 years agoHelpful?
Q: I have a 2 level home. My room downstairs hav a very weak signal. I have a uverse 5268AC, will this work on this unit?

- A: Morning @CWC123, It will. While these instructions are written for a regular modem, they should be similar for hotspots: https://forums.att.com/conversations/att-internet-equipment/how-to-connect-orbi-wifi-to-an-att-modem/5f2ace04917fbb7b950106e6.

Q: Will this work with AT&T Fiber 300? Will a monthly fee be added to my bill? Does it need to be wired to work or can it extend my wifi wirelessly?
4 years ago1 Answer
- A: Morning @Kevin1994, It will work with AT&T Fiber. It is a one-time charge for the Orbi and it can work wirelessly or wired to extend Wi-Fi. In regards to placement, place the Orbi where signal is still strong in-between your modem and area you want to improve. ChrisZ, AT&T Community Specialist4 years agoHelpful?
