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.

The only stable Orbis are those Orbi RBK40, RBK50 and ORBI lbr20(lte) running Voxel third party firmware not orbi stock FW.
Straying way off topic here. I've seen three comments in this thread recommending the Voxel firmware for RBK40. When I go to the site it doesn't list the 40, only the 50 and the lbr20. Where are people finding the firmware for the 40?

Quote from bhavin411 :
I got an older Orbi that came with a satellite AP a couple years ago back when Discover Price Protection was still a thing. It's been great for me. I paid $20 for it at the time and still use that router today. Hopefully the quality of the newer models didn't go down.

I've been using the Orbi Mesh 4 system (base with 2 satellites), still going strong, can't remember any issues with dropping, etc. Usually any outages are Spectrum issue, unfortunately only choice in my area.

TP-Link Deco Mesh has been great for me too. I also only use two of them with one upstairs and one downstairs and it is awesome

Can someone post pic of price sign of $100? I bought for $300 and would like a credit .thanks!

Even ONE PERSON got it for $1, they will NOT price match it, as it's NOT a company wide pricing, period.

AGAIN, ME & MY DAUGHTER CALLED ALL COSTCO IN THE WHOLE TEXAS YESTERDAY, AND THEY LAUGHED ABOUT THAT PRICE, THAT IF ONE STORE DID THAT, THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN LOWER IT TO $99.97 IS BECAUSE IT WAS OPENED, USED, RETURNED, ETC......., BUT IF NOT THEIR PRICE NOW IS $499.97.

SO, DON'T BE farkIN RIDICULOUS TO SUGGEST THAT 1 PERSON GOT IT TO THAT PRICE, EVERY COSTCO IN THE WHOLE USA WILL DO THAT TOO, AS THEY TOLD US THAT THEY STILL SELL THOSE WITH REGULAR PRICE, period.

LOL the only one being ridiculous is you. The OP stated it's YMMV. That's why people were calling around to see if their stores had it at that price. And as many found out their stores don't even carry the item.

Costco isn't going to price match another Costco anyway and if they do consider yourself lucky. Not all items are sold at ALL stores and not all Costco's mark down items to the same price at the same time.

Get over it and move on

I'm NOT freaking ridiculous at all, as "YMMV" most of the time used when there's a BIG possibility that even 2 stores will have that price, but it isn't at all.

Like ONE product I've seen in Costco, that someone RETURNED it, the box was opened,, etc.. and that store has NO choice and sold it for just $$90, even if it is $300-$400 in all their other stores.

Did I share it with Slickdeals, so EVERYONE will call and go to Costco, NO! That's super stupid and all.

Now you get what I mean?

Thank you, for proving my point.
Costco in my location, Southern California, had it for $99 but all locations are sold out

Orlando folks : costco at mall millenia has about 5 in stock. they locked and kept it inside. You need to get to an supervisor with an item # for them to purchase. Good luck...
Quote from vts :
I was at local costco in PNW for the tire center, and decided to check router section after reading OP post. I found a single AX6000 Orbi hidden behind tens of of Orbi AX5400 routers - scored one at 99.97.

Thanks OP!
Quote from CleverName2315 :
Was able to find 1 at South Orlando Costco. They said system is showing 3 but I got the last one.

EDIT
Just finished setting it up. It is great, no issue so far. At this price it is a steal I believe.

YMMV means just that - YOUR mileage may vary. This is no different than 1/2 the Walmart deals that are posted.

Congrats to those that found it.

Quote from cuoreesitante :
I've seen comments recommending Unifi a lot, if you are willing, can you share what components I'd need to get everything working for a 3br 2 story SFH? We are also adding an add on unit in the backyard as an office, so we will need coverage there. I'm fairly tech savvy but not especially well versed in commercial networking. For example I get gateways and routers and APs confused all the time, since in all residential network setups you just need one unit that does all of the functions.
You will need a router first. The cheaper option is Edgerouter X ($60max). It is a 1GB router. There are several YT videos how to create VLANs and firewall rules. The better option would be to use the new Gateway Ultra ($130+). It is a definitely a better product, easier to integrate and manage and program.

Ideally you will need wired (Cat 6) connections to APs (ideally mounted on the ceilings). One for each floor and one for the backyard office. Depending upon the size and the number of devices connection to the router, you can go with the U6 Pro, U6+ or U6 Lite or U7 Pro or a combo. U6 Lite ideally should do. Get a 5 port PoE+ switch ($45) and you are good to go. Except for the wiring, the whole setup would be under $700.

Why choose unifi over omada?

I have the earlier version of this and I love it. Covers the entire house and property with no issues. The only time I've had any problems, they have stemmed from Comcast, not Orbi.

Quote from wherestheanykey :
A wired mesh backhaul covers up a majority of the issues users will face with mesh networks. So you can probably switch systems and get the same reliability (assuming your ethernet is at least CAT5e).

But, the fact of the matter is, not every home needs or lends itself to a mesh setup to begin with.

Unless you're dealing with 3000+ sqft or multiple levels, it might not be doing you any favors versus just having a single centralized high performance router.

The one that always gets me are the people who walk around their house "testing" their mesh network for coverage, only to spend a majority of their time on the couch.

Not to mention, in many systems, that extra coverage is a tradeoff for extra bandwidth.
I have one of the older models as well, also have it hardwired, and have no issues with it. House is 4200sf over 3 levels, and signal strength is good enough to have at least 3 TVs streaming, 6 iPhones, a couple iPads, a few laptops, and a boatload of IoT devices that do not have a separate hub all at the same time.
(I'm not including the hardwired computers in there. Those are just the wifi devices.)

Quote from namlook :
I've had two different Orbi systems and they have both worked flawlessly. Currently using 860 series for a couple years and no issues. Weird how Orbi work great for some people and others report problems. Not sure what the reason could be. But this is not uncommon for routers across the board. If you read the reviews of almost every consumer router there are a lot of bad experiences mixed in with good ones.
A lot depends upon the building itself. Wifi signals are simply radio signals. If you have concrete walls, you will have issues. If your electric is too close to the routers (especially the base station), you will have issues. If there is too much metal in between, you will have issues. If the distance is too large, you will have issues, etc.

These are the reasons why I had the whole house hardwired basically immediately upon moving in.

I've been losing faith in netgear ethernet products for the last 5 years.
