I bought an Orbi on Amazon Prime Day. Just returned it today. Second shite experience with a Netgear product. I lost signal quite often, even being right next to the main router hub. Sometimes I’d only be a few feet away and would have 2/3 bars signal.

I did a little research online and seems others are having the same issue. No firmware has been released for an update. I was still within the 30 day return window so I went ahead and returned. Don’t want to pay $300 for a headache and trouble shooting.

I’d still like to move forward on one of these products. Considering the Eero since it seems like they’ve had a version 2.0 come out and I don’t want to deal with a version 1 again. Any thoughts or guidance here? Open to suggestions but just want something easy with good range.

I’m still very happy I spent the money and went with a top end Ubiquity setup. Was worth it with how many devices I have now.

Anyone have any input on the new Samsung WiFi mesh system that is Plume merged with the Samsung WiFi? Has SmartThings Hub incorporated into it?

I ended up doing the Amplifi a couple months ago. It's been great.

I've just never been a Netgear fan.
