Orbi 770 Series

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Are you getting hourly interruptions on the dot in gaming and Zoom calls and similar real-time activities? I was. Nothing fixed it. No matter what, I got a big lag and packet loss spike every 59-60 ish min on the dot even fully wired in from end to end. Worse on Satellite-connected Wi-Fi devices. ht

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

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
