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.

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

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.

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

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

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 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've been using Orbi 770 since March after thinking it'd be better than eero and oh boy how wrong I was. Don't bother with it. I've got new Ubiquiti equipment coming to replace my Orbi 770 system and can't wait for it!
