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.

Is TP Link a good replacement for Orbi?

I switched to Eero 7 stuff, running 2x Eero Max 7 and 2x Eero Outdoor 7 in AP only mode w/ UniFi UCG-Fiber for my router/gw. No regrets. SO MUCH more stable than the Orbi 770 with its hourly lag/packet loss issues. The roaming is second to none. I've tested it thoroughly and I'm impressed. I know it

real world difference in wireless vs wired backhaul for Orbi 770?

I saw no improvement with stability my 750 series with wired backhaul vs wireless mesh. It wasn’t good with either after a given firmware update. I personally left Orbi a year ago due to stability problems. There is still someone I help out who has a 770 series. Their stability has been getting wors

Problems with iPad / iPhone 16 Pro Max

The reason you’re having issues is because Netgear’s recent firmware for their WiFi 7 products is awful, and it causes the issues you’re having with iOS devices. There’s nothing you can do to fix it. Netgear released a firmware update recently that states in its release notes that it fixed the issue

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

Worst WiFi system - Orbi 770

I went from Asus's RoG mesh to Orbi 770, and instantly regretted it. My ultimate answer was to return the 770 set and finally concede on a Ubiquiti. Dream Router 7 + two Max Pro 7 APs, with some PoE switches powering the two APs while also driving the other ports from the AP itself. It's nowhere nea

Stream randomly drops to 1FPS

I had a very similar issue with my mesh system… Once I turned off all but the main node, the problem went away. I had a Orbi 770 and it had basically no options to resolve the issue, but then I switched to a TP Link Deco WiFi 7 system and the lag spikes went away as long as I set it to prefer a sing

Orbi 770 - WiFi Drops Every Hour

I had this same issue on my Orbi 770 system. I provided extensive proof of the hourly lag / latency / packet loss spikes to Netgear engineering directly and never heard back. They're a fucking joke. Edit: oh haha we already know each other. I've since switched to Eero Max 7 and then they broke their
