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.
