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

I got the same email. In reality, I think Netgear stopped upgrading the firmware for that router a few years ago. I have 4 Orbi units so even with the 20% discount I'm looking at around $800 and I'm hesitant to replace a system that is working well. So what I did is change my Orbi from the router mo

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

Recommendations on WiFi mesh for old building?

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

Hey /r/Sysadmin! What do you use for your home router? 2026 Edition

Switched from netgate pfsense to firewalla gold plus. It has just enough levers and knobs to keep my happy and all the tools I need to support the family from anywhere. Wireguard works flawless when I'm away from home. I'm using netgear orbi 963 (6E) in AP mode behind that. Pretty stable setup even

How can I get “free” Bell pods?

Haha, to each their own! Why pay to rent equipment if you're going to get poor support? I've used those pucks before, and honestly, they’re not the greatest. The original poster mentioned having three floors and placing the modem in the basement probably where Bell brings in the fiber and installs t

What to do? RBR50/40/30/20 and Satellites at end of life

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

Can I use my Gen3 router with a different ISP?

look into unifi or netgear orbi. I got rid of my wireless fiber provider for Starlink and it's been way more consistent. I run two GEN three routers right now but I'm switching to unifi soon. ultimately wanted their cameras so I'm adopting the whole ecosystem. i get 200-300 down and 50 up on starlin

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
