Orbi

Netgear / Orbi is possibly the worst garbage you can find in mesh wifi systems. I had to return an Orbi 870. Never looked back

Crazy. I'm surprised because your Netgear Orbi AX5700 (RBK842) was released around October 2019. I have a set of eero Pro 5 purchased in 2019 still running. Looks like they'll continue providing security updates for at least another 4 years through March 2030 (https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/artic

Not that I am aware of. I took the plunge last weekend, sucked but Im back to normal. This is a dropped ball by Netgear/Orbi and makes me really rethink my next networking system purchase.

I had an RBK40 since 2018 that delivered us amazing service, it died a couple of years ago, the Netgear Orbi replacement (think it was the 750 series) was just pure rubbish, sent it back within 2 weeks, been using a Deco ever since which has been fine. Not sure what’s happened to NetGear but their q

The only thing I wish that Orbi or Netgear did a little better is the design of the official wall mounts, since they are not the prettiest things, the way they designed the bottom to not be covered in some way.

Thanks for the helpful response. Hard to find on Reddit sometimes. Not necessarily trying to solve a problem. I had an Orbi system for the past 5ish years and it finally died, ironically about a month before I got an email from Netgear telling me that it reached EOL. Anyways. I picked up an Eero 6+

My Orbi Pro SXR80 / SXS80 system has essentially been bricked. Absolutely terrible. Router can't connect to satellites despite wired backhaul, with the latest app update, it shows ZERO connected clients, although that is wrong. Wifi is non-functional. Radio somehow stopped working on the router, see

NETGEAR NEVER AGAIN . Netgear, never more. I used to trust Netgear. Not anymore. I’ve owned my Netgear Orbi RBE771/770 for over a year with no issues—until suddenly my network completely fell apart. Both my Netgear modem and router failed at the same time. To rule out external causes, I: Contacted m

The old Orbi stuff works great. I bought the 970 when my old RBR50 died after using it with little issues for many years. It seems Netgear screwed up all of the WiFi 7 Orbi products. They were likely rushed to market, as I believe the 970 was the 1st consumer mesh WiFi 7 product available. After all

Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to ask all these questions. The home is 1,400 sq ft. There is one RBS in the setup, and both the RBR and RBS are running the latest firmware available. The WiFi channels are set to automatic to allow the system to optimize them based on the environmen
