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

Enough is enough…

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

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?

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

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

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

Questions on what to do

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.

Best wifi 7 router?

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.

Possible Orbi RBR50 issues. Considering upgrading.

I’ve been using an RBR50 with two satellites for about 5 years, the Netgear firmware would have the wifi go down randomly and weird glitches. In searching for other firmware I came across Voxel’s firmware which runs latest versions of individual code on the router and opens up to additional function
