Seeing this BS at such price makes me happy to go with UI.

It is very infuriating. These sell more than Ubiquiti too because the average joe hasn’t even heard of Unifi and netgear sells in all big box retailers in every country. So average joes just walk into the store and pick this shit up. Thinking they’re cool for solving their wifi problem in the al fre

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

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

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

Recommendations or a simple home setup

Ok....so you want a Wifi router with a couple of ethernet connections. Any one of several newer Tp-link or netgear ones will do. The rub will be how much bandwidth you need/want for the wifi and how far does it need to connect (via Wifi) A full fledged leading edge mesh 7 system with multiple satell

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’ve been using Netgear Orbi mesh for years. Expensive but works fantastic. I have a base and two satellites. Reception in my 1963 home is horrid without mesh. While Ethernet backhaul would be ideal, Orbi has a dedicated WiFi backhaul and it is very fast.

Wireless routers!

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’d just like a moment to appreciate netgear

They have their issues and push Netgear armor way too much but when they do push a firmware that’s stable, it does work fairly well. I use Orbi systems from them and the previous system I had, RBKE963, was great when I first got it but firmware updates made it worse and worse, forcing me to use olde
