Sonos + Orbi 770 troubleshoot
Yes. I had that same issue.! And I have a couple of solutions for you! I even contacted Sonos support and spent hours to find this. So if you have a Sonos arc or surround system, the only good way to get it to work is too hard wire ethernet to the system. You only need one to be connected and the re

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.

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

Goodbye Orbi mesh, hello Ubiquiti
Lol I also just ditched my Orbi 770 and got a UDR7 for my second site. My main site is fully equipped with Unifi gear already.

Goodbye Orbi mesh, hello Ubiquiti
Welcome to the dark side! Orbi 770 refugee here. DM me any time if you need any tips or advice on UniFi stuff. I'm a little obsessed to say the least.

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

Parental Control – I blocked a device (testing) and enabled Parental Control (Trial) in the app but skipped profile setup. After that, I couldn’t re-enable it in the web interface; it only showed: ‘To use Access Control, please use the Orbi App.’ Really sucks!
I think this has been posted before. Once you enable smart parental controls it disables access control via the web interface. Some links below. https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-smart-parental-controls/unable-to-access-access-control-orbi-770-rbe771/2407725 https://community.netgear

Questions on what to do
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.

Orbi 970 sucks, what to move to?
I had the Orbi 770 but gave up. I went back to Eero with a pair of Pro 7’s and a POE Gateway. It just works and performance is great.

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
