    Expense, stops working often

    I’ve had the Orbi system for about 6 months now. I went all-in to get a solid WiFi solution for our house, thinking the expensive, “top of the line” Netgear system would be worth the investment. It is NOT worth it. The issue is that the system goes down frequently. I can still get a strong, connected signal from my Xfinity provider, but the Orbi is just not working. I’ve been through hours-long troubleshooting with Netgear TWICE to get it working again. Both times this involved completely reinstalling and reconfiguring the system. But it still continues to randomly just quit working on a regular (weekly) basis. If you’re thinking you’ll just shell out the massive cost to fix your WiFi once and for all by buying the best there is, the Orbi is not the right move.

    I used to love to tinker, flash DD-WRT, and go crazy with settings. These things work well and give me everything I care about in an easy package.

    It’s one of the best systems I have bought, although it’s expensive. I upgraded from an Orbi WiFi 5 and like the improvements in speed.

    I was hesitant to spend this much on a WiFi solution but we have several kids online at a time for school and needed a solution for the constant slow speeds and low WiFi signal in different parts of the home. This worked out great, no more dead spots, internet speeds are just as fast as if I was standing next to my router with little to no signal degradation. All of our smart devices connect seamlessly as well. IE: ring doorbell, security cameras, ac unit, lights. Pricey but does what it’s designed to do and does it very well.

    Best Mesh WiFi Solution with Dedicated Backhaul

    This is an excellent product from Netgear. In my research it seemed to stand out from the crowd with it's dedicated backhaul channel to provide very efficient data transfer between nodes. Additionally it was a nice surprise that I could bypass my provider's modem and use the router unit to handle everything with its PPOE feature. I needed a system with a very fast transfer rate to stream 4K video files from a NAS; this system handled the biggest files no problem.
