    Do Not Waste Your Money!

    I just bought the Orbi AX6000 RBK8252 router/satellite to replace my previous Orbi router/satellite hoping to improve wifi speeds on some of my devices and clear up some weak signals in my house. I read online where people had internet connection problems with some wifi devices and it seemed a firmware update caused the issue. Before I bought this I went on the Netgear website and checked what the community reported when a new firmware version was released recently to fix that problem. Everyone seemed to agree it was finally fixed, so I took the plunge. BIG MISTAKE! I downloaded the newest firmware before using it and initially things were ok. Then my kids reported no internet connections even though they were connected to the router. I tried numerous resets and reboots on their devices which temporarily fixed the issue. But, today I had even more problems and decided that I am going to return this to BB and get something else. Netgear is using us to beta test their hardware and firmware and Im not doing that for something I paid $700 for. Steer clear of Netgear.
