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

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

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

BEWARE: Orbi 770 is absolute trash. Netgear support is even worse.
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

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

Modern mesh WiFi system vs Ethernet wired Unifi system
Orbi 770/970 have confirmed performance issues yet to be fixed in firmware even when hard wired. I would avoid.

Dream Router 7 or Asus BT8/BT10
Partially true. It is slightly more setup if you're obsessive and want it perfect. There's more to configure. There are definitely firmware issues on UniFi but they fix them quick and you can always roll back. I'm still waiting a year later for a fix from Netgear on a huge issue with Orbi 770/970 st

Feel like a hostage owning Orbi 770. Help needed!
Sold mine on EBay and bought a UniFi setup, best decision I have made as I also felt like a hostage trying to get the 770 to function without disconnects. Maybe NETGEAR will get the Orbi firmware working in a few years….

Want to upgrade my wifi mesh
If you have the XT8 and are satisfied with there performance you can always get the ET8 which is the 6E version. I would avoid the Orbi 770 series they have been firmware nightmares as of late. The Orbi 960 system is very solid and has insane range and speed. I have personally had the all 3 systems
