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

Stay away from Netgear Orbi, Nighthawk bad products and worst customer service ever!

Just changed over from a orbi 770 with two satellites to a Eero Max 7 with an extra satellite. I never really dealt with support. Honestly I it used to be pretty good. Running Xfinity 1gig service. I started running into issues with updates. Lots of drops throughout the house. I have switched over t

Worst WiFi system - Orbi 770

The latest update solved all my 770 issues with disconnects. Orbi’s are weird.

Orbi 770 in AP-mode, is it stable?

I’ve been running the orbi 770 latest firmware with wired backhaul with zero issues and would highly recommend them

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

In Praise of The Orbi.

I’m also a satisfied Orbi 770 system user, 2 x satellites (AP’s) wired backhaul. Solid WiFi throughout my home (2 floors) and a good stretch of the front and rear gardens. My only wish would be more settings in the web UI. I make use of the IoT channel but it doesn’t have a separate vlan, which kind

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

Giving in to hardwire, Unifi the way to go for the rest?

I've been from Google Nest 6E -> Orbi 770 (Wi-Fi 7) -> Eero Max 7 + Outdoor 7 -> adding a UniFi UCG-MAX as my gateway -> UCG-Fiber and XG switching core -> then full UniFi APs too after an Eero firmware update literally broke AP selection and performance for critical stuff like my remote cameras and
