Orbi

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

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

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

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.

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

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
