Orbi

Agree. NETGEAR orbi has fallen from being reliable to unpredictable and lost my trust. I think my next brand to try is unifi. I just. Need a brand that just works out of the box and don’t say “send it out and we will fix with updates.” While we suffer and pray the next update will improve my network

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

I switched from a 3-device Orbi 970 that I had issues with to a 3-device Eero 7 Max about a week ago, and all of the WiFi issues immediately went away once using the Eero 7 Max. The Eero 7 Max doesn’t allow as much configuration. There’s no web config. You use only a mobile app to configure it, but

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

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.

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.

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

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

Welcome to Ubiquiti! Having been an Asus MeshAI user for 5 years, the 770's plus a primary were my first foray into Orbi and my first Netgear in five years. 59 days into the 60-day return policy, it went back. Constant backhaul drops, WPA3 vs 2/3, speed degradation... I bit the bullet, and bought th
