Just got back from my local Costco and purchased one. It appears it was marked down today. Picture posted to the Community Wiki.
The Puyallup, WA store had about 15 units left after I purchased mine.

I will never purchase another Orbi product and I can't recommend them for any price. I have a support ticket open with them that's been going for months with no resolution. The mesh system we have has constant drops and has to be reset every couple of days because all devices stop getting a signal.

I had the same system and the constant disconnects and satellites randomly restarting were it fun. I went with another brand and couldn't be happier.

I've owned Orbi products, and had problems with them from day one. To make matters worse, they only had 90 day support....though that may have changed. And, while this is purely subjective, I think they're the ugliest home electronic devices on the market.

I now have TP-Link Deco mesh products...been fantastic since install which was a breeze. Not one hard or soft reset in over two years.

Had the misfortune of setting up a couple of these Orbi systems. The clunky setup process to horrible.

Google Nest Wifi Pro and Eero Pro are highly recommended.

Interesting, I had more issues with the Eero's than my Orbi's

I would stay far away from Orbi. We had the RBK753S from Costco. Went through 3 units over the course of 18 months due to constant disconnects and needing to be reset. Netgear customer service is a joke. Had to file a credit card dispute because they kept charging me a parental controls subscription fee that was tied to the first unit that we returned to Costco that they wouldn't let me cancel because I didn't have the original unit it was tied to anymore. Total joke

I cannot agree more. I have only had negative experiences with Orbi. If you unplug any of the satellites or god forbid, a power outage occurs, you will spend hours upon hours getting the system up and running again. Oftentimes, you will need to reconfigure ALL your devices again to reconnect to the network.

One hacky workaround (that may not work anymore so YMMV) was when my routers disconnected and had to be reconfigured, I set it up with a new SSID. Once the system was back up, I'd swap it back to the old SSID recognized by my devices and there was a higher chance it would start working again without reconfiguration.

All this is to say I would not recommend Orbi at any price.

Deco routers from TP-Link, also available from Costco have been incredible for me over the years after I dumped Orbi.

I have the Orbi RBK650 series I believe from Best Buy 2 years ago, haven't had an issue with it. The only time I ever had to mess with Wi-Fi or network issues was with my modem that fried during a power surge from storm, that was replaced and this mesh system still going strong. My rule is always buy from a retailer with good warranty. Best Buy has 2 or 4 year warranty, return near end of 2 or 4 years and get a new one and continue, you are only paying $20-40 every 2 years $40-80 for 4 years to refresh and they always give you a new model when they don't have older ones in stock or discontinued. I haven't returned mine yet as I still have till 2026 but I wonder if new models are of concerns such as this.

I'll never buy these again. When a satellite goes bad, it kills the entire network. Warranty is too short. Crazy expensive to replace. Sad the quality was so bad.
