Netgear Orbi Pro AC3000 SRK60
VerifiedMPN: SRK602 reviews
Great range – I have 1 router and 2 satellites, my house is large (600m2) and this covers everywhere inside and most of 2 acres outside. The pros, its easy to setup and the range is great. Asting satellites is easy. The cons I can't get it to work properly as a router, it blocks all HTTPS sites, so I have to run it in AP mode and use a DM200 down router rendering the additional features pointless such as internal VPN.
Purchased in at Computer Alliance.

Great product, excellent performance – I need a mesh router set up to give wifi coverage to 3 separate dwellings on my property, it needed to cover an area of roughly 30m x 70m, 2 dwellings are double brick and the third is the shed which is steel and concrete. Installation was very easy, you can use a laptop or mobile device via the Netgear Orbi app, units are powered by an AC adapter, no PoE necessary. Can be configured as a router or access point. I set the main unit in one building, 2 satellites in the house (one on each floor) and another satellite in the shed. Overall I am very happy with the coverage and the speed, it easy sustains all of our devices (17) connected and is only limited by broadband bandwidth. You have the option to set up to 3 SSID's, schedule on/off times and limit bandwidth across the SSID's. Traffic monitoring is very limited and there is no separation between the SSID's, you are just given a total for the day/week/month. I did purchase the extended warranty (~$100 per router/satellite for 5Yr warranty coverage) through Netgear, which gave me that option when I registered the Orbi online.
I use a Telco XPOL MIMO 4GX high gain panel antenna (700-900MHz) and connect to the Telstra mobile network via a Netgear Nighthawk M1.
Overall I can definitely recommend the Orbi Pro, there are some trade-offs for features compared to the Unify, for ease of use. Coverage and speed are excellent.
