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

There’s even a guy on Reddit who tries to help and give advice - I presume he works for Netgear. When I wrote a review of my experience with the Orbi 870 he blocked me 😂

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.

One of the main attack vectors of your home network is the router so the lack of updates, buggy updates, rollbacks and deafening silence does not instil confidence. If the orbi systems were a couple of hundred quid then maybe they'd get some slack, but these things cost over a thousand pounds and th

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.

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

Orbi sent an end-of-life email for my router the rbr50 and it's satellites rbs50 and rbs20. Not being able to see the NETWORK MAP seemed to coincide with that. If Netgear does not restore basic functionality in the app, I will probably never buy a Netgear product again.
