What customers say about "Key Specs"

D-Link COVR-2202 AC2200 Tri‑Band Whole Home Mesh Wi‑Fi System

Great WiFi connection all round my house. Recommended for big house!
An elegant solution to effectively extend your Wi-Fi coverage, recommended.
I decided to buy this product because of the very low Wi-Fi speed and coverage in my place. The purchase exceeded my expectations, perfect coverage!
The amplifier of this product widens our internet connection’s coverage more than 500 square meters. Incredible!!
It showed great coverage and we didn’t have any problems with the connection. Extremely cool and amazing, so we’re giving the COVR-2202 two thumbs up for its performance.

NETGEAR RBK23 AC2200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

Performance is excellent with whole house coverage never dropping below -60dBm and internet access speeds similar to wired connection.
Although the router and satellites are all located on the ground floor, upstairs coverage is good.
All in all if you are debating about buying this just do it, it will not disappoint, and the coverage and increase in WiFi speed is amazing.
Top of the range. Easy to install and customize, much much better seamless reception.
Cable connection with it is more than twice the speed I had before, connecting directly with the router.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

D-Link COVR-2202 AC2200 Tri‑Band Whole Home Mesh Wi‑Fi System

The product itself is very stylish and quite discrete. It is a premium device crafted with high quality materials and this is noticeable also from the weight of the units.
Quality made and lightweight, looks great! Awesome signal range increasing!
Very nice size and weight, also nice coverage! Highly recommended guys!!
Lightweight, pretty design, reliable and good coverage! Such a good purchase! Fits well in my interior!
I was looking for a whole house wi-fi solution but didn't like the size of the single wifi routers so settled on these as a mesh system.

NETGEAR RBK23 AC2200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

The Orbi hardware is on the large size, but its design is unobtrusive with an attractive 'soft' finish to the off-white housings.
I’m not complaining but I know some people won’t like the size.
Easy to set up, as you might expect to get the power you compromise on size.
It’s worth nothing they are VERY large units - the size of a reasonable flower vase. For the size they are, you’d expect them to work very well as they’re obstrusive.
The units are large (vase sized) but look pretty good and at least discrete.

What customers say about "Network Specifications"

D-Link COVR-2202 AC2200 Tri‑Band Whole Home Mesh Wi‑Fi System

I can definitely say that this COVR is a powerhouse. It has sorted all the network issues I had and now I can rely on a stable and broad Wi-Fi connection with no dead spots.
The best things we have this COVR are that we won’t have to memorize usernames and passwords for each network which is extremely convenient.
The D-Link Covr-2202 is a two-piece mesh system that performs well, but lacks some key features of its competition.
An easy to use mesh Wi-Fi system that provided stable performance throughout my large semi-detached house. It is priced competitively and offers the same level of performance as other well reviewed competing products.
The access points have provided strong enough signal that I am now getting my full 150mb Virgin Service across the whole home without any drops in speed or latency.

NETGEAR RBK23 AC2200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

I now have a router and one satellite working (the third will go in the extension when its completed) and yeh, full signal everywhere and full fibre speed.
Works great fron one floor to the next with 5m high cealings.
Now I have an amazing internet connection, with the same speed guaranteed all over the entire house.
Previously used a mess of Powerline adaptors but I have been able to simplify all of this and vastly improve the reliability and speed of my WiFi. Usual great Netgear quality.
I have seen a massive improvement on speed and range/coverage throughout my house and garden (especially WiFi cameras that were cutting out). Recommended.

What customers say about "Features"

D-Link COVR-2202 AC2200 Tri‑Band Whole Home Mesh Wi‑Fi System

It was very easy to setup; all I had to do was download the app from the Playstore and follow the on-screen instructions.
Installing COVR has been a piece of cake. The D-Link Wi-Fi app has detailed step by step instructions.
Work great. Easy setup when using the app. Improves to Wi-Fi through out the house and get the much better speeds.
QoS: it allows me to decide which devices have to be given priority in case many devices are connected to the network.
Password sharing: keeping the Wi-Fi app opened on the iPhone I have tried to connect other devices to the network and the app did the job for me.

NETGEAR RBK23 AC2200 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi System (Pack of 3)

The app is slick and remarkably quick.
I'm not a techie, but I found these devices easy to install (just download the app and follow step by step the instructions).
The app is basic but does the job.
Connecting the mesh network is App based and simple to do if powered on instructions followed to the letter.
Admin app is shoddy and hides far too much functionality.
