This brand is honestly a total letdown. The quality is absolute garbage. I hope nobody ever buys from you again. You're going to fail sooner or later

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

Moving to a place where Cox internet is the best option. Need recommendations to make the best out of this situation.

I had Cox for over a decade in Irvine. I never had a problem with spotty connection or outages. I had huge problems with pricing and customer service. Got tired of having to do the dog and pony show every 12 months to get put on the new promotion to prevent huge price increases. I moved on to Google

After a full hardware failure of our current router —and downgrading to our past one— my parents have accepted the need for an upgrade. What routers do you guys run? Any suggestions?

I would do a plug in play mesh system like an Eero or a netgear orbi.

Metrocom se papeó a Tigo y Más Móvil

El router que +móvil me dió francamente es paupérrimo. Una vaina de Sercomm que ni me daba la velocidad contratada. Qué diferencia al poner mi Netgear Orbi mesh. Y la vaina con +móvil fibra es que uno mismo tiene que averiguar cómo colocar la configuración en el router de uno, porque no es disque so

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

Netgear just EOL'd my Orbi AC3000 – any recommendations?

The only downside of keep using the current Orbi system is lack of security updates.If that is the reason, I think buying a newest, stand-alone Netgear router as your gateway, and wire your existing Orbi network to it. You can keep the AC3000 network settings on ur devices. It’s even better if the n

Plz recommend between Orbi 870, 970 or Eero Max 7

I’ve been a netgear orbi user for the better part of a decade. RBK52 and RBK852. Just switched away this week. The orbi can be a good consumer level mesh system with strong radios that push signal far. And it will work well, for some time. The orbi’s issues are netgear and their firmware. At least o

Plz recommend between Orbi 870, 970 or Eero Max 7

No, in fact wired back-haul from main to satellite is always recommended (faster connection, less latency, doesn't cause congestion or additional WiFi networks to be spawned etc), your mesh WiFi will still work if it's using WiFi back-haul, but you need to be careful with positioning of the satellit

Have you been having frequent Spectrum internet outages?

I would suggest either the Asus RT-BE96U if you can get by with a single device (if the modem will be located in the middle of your home and you are at about no larger than 2,000 square feet), or the Netgear Orbi 770 series if your space is larger and/or the modem is in the far corner of the home wh

Quantum Fiber Mesh

I think the Asus systems, zenwifi bt10 as well as the netgear orbi 770 (this one has a subscription). I have used asus routers in my house, so I used their software to create a mesh system as i upgraded, my main is be98pro, with nodes of be92u and a gtax11000. If you can wire your backhaul, then you
