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

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

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

Orbi 770 versus Orbi 850 (RBK853) - wifi range to satellites?
Thanks for sharing your experience! Interesting that some are seeing issues with BE wifi on certain mobile devices and others are not. This is why I am considering still trying the 770. My biggest concern is if the antennae (intentional plural spelling) in the 770 are a downgrade (as it has been rep

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

issue with iPhone
Similar issues. iPhone 17 pro and Orbi 770. I noticed slower speed seems to be due to hanging on to a satellite or router longer than it should when I am closer to another. If I wait a few minutes or turn off WiFi and back on, speed jumps up again. The Orbi app rarely shows the correct AP for my dev

BEWARE: Orbi 770 is absolute trash. Netgear support is even worse.
The Orbi 770 doesn't have dedicated backhaul, it shares the 5 Ghz and 6 Ghz client bands. Only the 800 and 900 series have dedicated wifi backhaul bands. Edit: A mesh system is overkill for a 1000 sq ft home!

Looking for practical differences between 770 and 970
I have the orbi 770. With wired backhaul as it couldn't handle my plaster and would walls and L shaped house. Without loosing significant speeds. It does well at much higher speeds now. But when i game online with my Playstation it still lags significantly

Orbi 770 Ethernet Backhaul in AP Mode
Very little control in AP mode based on my use of other Orbi systems (have not tried AP on a 770 yet). I believe the issues people had with Orbi backhaul were people using so called "smart" or managed switches as I recall. I think people had better luck using dumb or unmanaged (or older) switches ac

Need help understanding WiFi calling / cell service
Well reddit just ate my response. The gist of it is, I've found that across 4 different manufacturers of wifi mesh systems including an orbi 770 (4 sats with beam forming) and 3 different mobile providers I had the same problem as you until I was no longer using the 5ghz mesh backhaul. Bad news is I
