Orbi

I use Ubiquity Unifi gear since I’ve used it for almost 10 years. Netgear Orbi is a high quality product, Eero is probably ok too. More a question of how big your space is, is there a way to hardwire access points etc. The standard Verizon router may be totally fine for a small space.

I’ve been using an RBR50 with two satellites for about 5 years, the Netgear firmware would have the wifi go down randomly and weird glitches. In searching for other firmware I came across Voxel’s firmware which runs latest versions of individual code on the router and opens up to additional function

I use TP-Link Deco units, and they work fine. A mate has Netgear Orbi units and they work well too in his old house but the units were too large for my liking. The Deco app is pretty good and has the usual features you would expect - guest wifi, device blocking etc and you can connect wired devices

I’ve decided to add an Edge Router and keep my RBR50 and RBS20 running the latest available Netgear firmware … at least for another 1-2 years. Voxel software is not an option for me because its not available for the RBS20. I just need to decide on the edge router and then change my RBR50 to run in A

I just switched over from a couple of RBR50 Orbis last month. They were indeed very solid. Seeing the crazy prices and limited features of Netgear's current stuff drove me to a Firewalla router and some Unifi access points.

I setup a netgear orbi mesh system at my uncles house dual story about 3500sq/f. 1 router and 2 orbi dishes its a great system and its been running at my uncles since 2013 and still working great. We get service to his mailbox and all his barns around his farm. https://www.netgear.com/home/wifi/mesh

I work in tech, and since these Wi-Fi 7 routers use NAND and DDR4, the price increase for them will feel justified. You always pay a premium for new tech, and these Orbi models are essentially the 'luxury' versions of Netgear. The price makes sense because, unlike other mesh systems, these are three

I gave my rbr50 to my mom and its still going strong, as 2 other RBR50's I set up are also going strong still (but they might be at their end of lifespan, time will tell) BUT I firmware locked all of them. I tried the Obi 860 and had nothing but problems, returned. Then purchased an Asus ET12 , that

Just because it's EOL doesn't mean it won't still function perfectly fine, my Netgear orbi setup was released in 2016 and I bought it in 2018, it still works perfectly fine

A definite Self-hosting beginner, slowy building out my knowledge from a variety of youtube videos/other guides. Current Setup is very basic Netgear Orbi RBR50 plus one RBS50 Satellite, connected using cat6 rather than relying on wifi backhaul. Netgear 8-port unmanaged switch with work laptop, TV an
