I had this from Costco, I think it was around 359.00 for the 3 unit deal, we returned it after a year when the software got corrupted on my iphone, and doing a search turns out to be a common issue when they update the app. So you have reset everything and start over, No thanks.. Returned it back to Costo ( have to love that store return policy ) and got the Deco 6e system, been working just fine. The Deco you have to pay extra for the shield software service..

Note, only the main router is tri-band. Two satellites are dual-band. This combination is okay if you use wired backhaul (Ethernet between router and satellites), but keep in mind that only main router's coverage will have wifi6.
For people like me who have to use wireless backhaul, this combination is a hard pass.

I've never used Orbi, but (from just glancing over the specs) the satellite extenders in this specific package are only dual band. This would work fine for most people that aren't serious gamers, multiple video streams at the same time, or trying to stream music to every Sonos speaker in a home at the same time. (side note for Sonos users: always connect just one Sonos speaker with Ethernet to the router for a solid connection.)

I don't know anything about Google/Nest.

I use two Eero Pro 6, and they work pretty flawlessly. Each Eero Pro is a tri band router, so it can handle more traffic. Each eero pro can be used as a main router. The orbi extenders can't. I think the Pro 6 is still a better option than the Pro 6E for most people at this time.

I'd also suggest using as few units with ANY of these systems as possible, because each one added wirelessly will slow your internet down some. More is not always better.

Just returned my Orbi tri band. Worked awesome for about a year and then it started dropping connections for 5 mins randomly all day across multiple devices. Tried everything...diff power cords, rolled back firmware, factory reset, etc. It was great when it worked.

I had used the Orbi AC3000 system and while it worked well it did not last 2 years. I did not like how much trouble it is to add the satellites. I now use TPLINK router with a onemesh extender which is working well. The TPLINK app is way better than the OrbiI app.
