Seeing this BS at such price makes me happy to go with UI.
It is very infuriating. These sell more than Ubiquiti too because the average joe hasn’t even heard of Unifi and netgear sells in all big box retailers in every country. So average joes just walk into the store and pick this shit up. Thinking they’re cool for solving their wifi problem in the al fre

Newer Orbi systems are worse than the old ones and I am done with this brand
Agree. NETGEAR orbi has fallen from being reliable to unpredictable and lost my trust. I think my next brand to try is unifi. I just. Need a brand that just works out of the box and don’t say “send it out and we will fix with updates.” While we suffer and pray the next update will improve my network

This brand is honestly a total letdown. The quality is absolute garbage. I hope nobody ever buys from you again. You're going to fail sooner or later
Netgear / Orbi is possibly the worst garbage you can find in mesh wifi systems. I had to return an Orbi 870. Never looked back

I need a recommendation for a new internet router
Eero Pro 7, TP-Link Deco 7 Pro, or Netgear Orbi 870. If you don't mind a little work but a lot of customization would look into unifi.

Tot €200 de tp link deco wifi mesh. (Deze heb ik en werkt prima, al had ik iets anders gekocht als ik meer budget had) Over de €200: Netgear orbi

Moving to a place where Cox internet is the best option. Need recommendations to make the best out of this situation.
I had Cox for over a decade in Irvine. I never had a problem with spotty connection or outages. I had huge problems with pricing and customer service. Got tired of having to do the dog and pony show every 12 months to get put on the new promotion to prevent huge price increases. I moved on to Google

Orbi AC3000 will be End Of Service within 45 Days
I currently use a set of Orbi RBR660 and satellites. While they work well, I absolutely hate the Netgear/Orbi interface and account systems. Paying the small premium for Ubiquiti next time for sure. I have loved getting to set them up for clients of mine and I recommend it to anyone I can.

What do you want us to build next? (A switch is already coming…)
Outdoor wifi devices. I have outdoor Netgear Orbi Satellites that I would like to get rid of then go full Firewalla wifi.

Crazy. I'm surprised because your Netgear Orbi AX5700 (RBK842) was released around October 2019. I have a set of eero Pro 5 purchased in 2019 still running. Looks like they'll continue providing security updates for at least another 4 years through March 2030 (https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/artic

There’s even a guy on Reddit who tries to help and give advice - I presume he works for Netgear. When I wrote a review of my experience with the Orbi 870 he blocked me 😂
