Sonos + Orbi 770 troubleshoot
Yes. I had that same issue.! And I have a couple of solutions for you! I even contacted Sonos support and spent hours to find this. So if you have a Sonos arc or surround system, the only good way to get it to work is too hard wire ethernet to the system. You only need one to be connected and the re

Orbi 970 with Ubiquity ucg-fiber?
I did this with Orbi 770. Didn't solve any of the reliability issues with the Orbi system for me. Then built out a full UniFi XG switching core too. Everything worked fine on that and solved the backhaul hourly lag / packet loss when fully wired. Didn't help with the wireless implications though, of

Questions on what to do
Keep the Eero. Netgear is awful. I bought the Orbi 770 and had a lot of problems. Support is worthless. I switched back to Eero with the Pro 7. Back to stability.

Best wifi 7 router?
Avoid Netgear at all costs. They appear to be incapable of getting the firmware right for their WiFi 7 units. I got an Orbi 770 and gave up. I went back to Eero with the Pro 7. Back to stable WiFi.

Stay away from Netgear Orbi, Nighthawk bad products and worst customer service ever!
You'll be happy to find out that the migration is easy. We were a Netgear house for years, then flipped to Asus and AImesh for a couple of years, which eventually had random recurring failures I couldn't tolerate being a remote leader with remote teams. My guess was ultimately a race condition becau

Enough is enough…
I had the Orbi 770. Absolute garbage!! Just switched to the EERO Max 7. Literally every problem I had with the Orbi (constant dropping WiFi, older devices unable to connect, satellites dropping, random slow speed, etc..) was resolved with the EERO. Took me about 2 minutes to setup and it has worked

BEWARE: Orbi 770 is absolute trash. Netgear support is even worse.
I had the exact same experience when upgrading from an old Orbi to the 770...random pauses, outages, etc, including after firmware upgrades...total garbage. Replaced it with a TP-Link and everything immediately ran smoothly.

Deploying a small network
Sounds like you haven't really used enough different consumer/prosumer setups to speak to this. I have. The others suck. Hard. UI does really have better QC and vetting process through its community releases. Period. Have you experienced how this goes with Eero and Netgear? To say it's a joke is an

Orbi 770 in AP-mode, is it stable?
I've been using Orbi 770 since March after thinking it'd be better than eero and oh boy how wrong I was. Don't bother with it. I've got new Ubiquiti equipment coming to replace my Orbi 770 system and can't wait for it!

Frequent buffering on devices since WiFi 7 upgrade — what gives?
I have the same exact issues. Bought an Orbi RBK43 mesh system 7 years ago.. solid as all hell. "Upgraded" to the TP-Link be10000 but didn't like how the channels were separated so I returned it for an Orbi 770 and started experiencing your same issues. I talked to Netgear support and they gave me a
