Orbi AC2200 Tri-band WiFi System (RBK40)

Same. my original Orbi from precovid was garbage performance originally, but after about 6-8 months of continual firmware upgrade was WONDERFUL and blindly fast 880 on a 1GB , symmetric up/down . Rock solid unflappable. But, they stopped updating any firmware and my security software was screaming at me to patch holes. So I researched and almost no one can deal with the new Netgear stuff you and others mention here. So, I went with a pair of Asus ROG GT6's... Stable but otherwise disappointing performance. fantastic tweaking software, but despite this, just 'meh' overall. highly asymmetric performance: fast-ish – still only slightly faster than HALF of what the 5 year old Netgear got on the download. And it's horrible on the upload. So seriously disappointed in Asus. Everyone seems to think Ubiquiti is the best (within reason) and I'm going to sell my Asus Stuff and try that too. Thanks for your info.

I went from an old Orbi RB system to the 770 and have loved it! Sorry to hear so many haven’t. But so far it’s been great for me all around.

I've used orbi 5ghz 4 nodes in 7500sqf home for years and worked great. I was able to use MOCA since the house got coaxial wired to all rooms. I've downsized and recently bought Asus axe7800 3-pack at bestbuy. Just grab 2 sets and you got a router and 5 nodes to mess around with.

I have to agree on “consumer” grade mesh systems, I have tried Asus and two different Netgear Orbi systems (last one cost me $1800 at the time) and all I get is headaches. They last for a month or so and then lose satellites and devices are always dropping until I reset it and then a week later all over again. So I decided instead of dropping another $1200-1800 on a Wifi 7 Consumer Mesh I would invest in Ubiquiti equipment, now I don’t have it running yet but will be using Mesh on the second floor AP as I don’t care if it’s full speed or not.

I bought an Orbi WiFi mesh from a Costco a while back. I've had zero issues with it. I direct play 4k streams to my Apple TV 4K through WiFi with no buffering.

Also an Orbi survivor. Good for you!

Funny, I did the same thing only it just lasted two years with Netgear.

I have also had fantastic luck with Orbi systems over the years.

I've used Orbi (Netgear product) for the last 7-8 yrs, very reliable, good quality. I upgraded after 3-4 yrs, my parents use the earlier version, they all run fine.

I had a bad experience with orbi also. Took it all back.
