Orbi Whole Home Tri-Band WiFi 6 Mesh Network System (RBK752P)

Similar experience to mine with the 750P series. about 2 months after i bought it i noticed no internet, rebooted mutliple times nothing, couldnt access the unit on the app or the web management, full pin reset and it was back up, so i didnt think anything of it. 2 weeks later same issue. Called support they had me manually install the same firmware that was on the router and satillites, all good for about 6 weeks the it did it again. Previous tech said if it does it again they will RMA the router but dont hard reset as they wanted to see if they could get logs. So i call support again only to be told while my units are still under hardware warranty the included "tech support" is only 90 days and I'd have to buy a tech plan starting at $99. I'm like oh no thnkas you can just RMA, look at the history of the serial number. Tech tells me they cants RMA it unless they "troubleshoot" the issue and they cant do that unless i buy a plan.. I nearly lose it on the phone. guy puts me on hold for like 10 mins only to come back and tell methe RMA is approved. Replacement unit shows up 2 days later, all good right? wrong. I had the 750P model from best buy which is an AX5400, they replaced the router with the 750 model which is said to have a better cpu and mo0re antennas but is only an AX4200 unit. I do use the wireless backhaul to connect my audio system to my network and the things i have in the basement so I was a litter concerned. The first issue I had was getting the Satillies to connect correctly to the 750 as the sats are like the router the 750P model line, They would connect but never stay synced, googling the error pointed to bad signal even though they were in the smae spots. As luck would have it Support called me just to verify it showed up to which i told them they sent the wrong unit, they reopened the case and told me they would send a second replacemeent the 760 which is the new direct replacement of the 750p, i asked them to verify it works correctly with the satillies whcih they did. That showed up this morning, and the satillites just wouldnt connect, took about 2 hours to get them to connect and they still seem glitchy.. My patience with netgear had run out, I just picked up the TP Link Deco BE65 Pro BE11000 kit and will be setting that up in the morning then probably selling the netgear cheap or giving it to a friend or something.

Hi all, forgive me as I'm not super technical when it comes to wifi but I'll do my best to explain what I have and what I need help with. I have an Orbi RBR750. One router, with 2 satellites. I have 1g internet coming in the house almost every thing in the house is on wifi including all the lights, pool equipment, smoker outside... everything. The Orbi has become a nightmare. Every time we lose power even for a minute the network goes out and nothing reconnects, then the start of hitting reset and building the network again. the first few times was easy, typed in the network name and everything reconnected but for some reason that stopped happening. Now nothing connects or I can't even recreate the network. Most recently lost power for 3 hours, took 2 days of resetting and rebuilding the network and it finally worked but one satellite won't connect. After all the troubleshooting I could find as a last resort I unplugged the router for 30 seconds.......30 seconds. Now it won't let me recreate the network. It's frustrating and I'm done. I want to replace this POS so I can recreate the printer scene from Office Space. I have roughly 3k sq ft house. 2.5-3 floors. 1/2 acre and I want wifi everywhere. I previously mounted a satellite in a waterproof housing by the pool and can either recreate that or if there's an option for an outdoor satellite it would be great. One router with an inside satellite and one outside satellite seemed to give me seamless coverage so that should be good but I need something easy to deal with and secure. Looking for under $1k if possible. Any help would be appreciated.

So the orbi is connected to the verizon router which I have a separate network on. That network works fine when the power comes back up so we use it as a back up but it's not as powerful or fast and doesn't have the range my mesh has. I looked into a UPS but it seemed like I was only finding ones that run for like 10 minutes which seemed incorrect but got annoyed and gave up looking. I have a tab opened on the TP-Link Deco 7 Pro right now, not sure if that's similar to yours. Heard about security issues with TP Link although I'm not educated enough about it to understand why.

Maybe commenters posts would be clearer if they included intended audience information but my wireless Netgear Orbi 750 mesh serves me well and my son has no complaints about his Orbi 9xx system. I suspect posters are confusing good enough, even excellent, with what is the best possible.

There is cheaper but I don't think you can go wrong with a Netgear Orbi mesh.

Check Facebook marketplace. I was able to find and Orbi 2pck of WiFi 6 for $80. Works perfectly

No upgrading to 2 gig would do absolutely nothing, your problem right now is your Wifi coverage. Orbi's are usually pretty decent but it really depends on the model. If you have the 300 series (Like the Orbi 370) they don't perform that well when they are not hard-wired together (through ethernet) If you have the Orbi 700/900 series try to move them closer together/check connection strength in the Orbi app. If you have ethernet going around the house (homes built from 2006-2019 generally have them, after that they started relying on wifi stupidly) you can make the 300 series work very well. You can buy some cheap ethernet cables and connect them to the Mesh system and you should get substantially better speeds. Keep in mind however you would have to have the infrastructure to get those Ethernet ports to actually be "live" the easiest way to identify if you have this is to see is to figure out where all the Ethernet ports are going (usually in some utility closet) You should see a box that all the ethernet wires connect into, if you just see wires your going to need to be a "Gigabit Network Switch" with the amount of ports needed, If it's not near your ont your going to have some issues, but you might be able to send ethernet back down if you have an ethernet near your main Orbi base. If you don't have Ethernet you should upgrade to a substantially better Mesh system that uses different antennas for the backhaul (connecting the routers to the extenders) these are generally pretty pricey ($500-$700 like for the Orbi ) but they might be the only way. Now if you are willing to give Verizon a shot your plan probably includes "whole home wifi" where Verizon will figure out the extender situation and make sure you have a good connection in most places but you'll have to use their equipment. As for that "white box" I don't really know what that could be unless it's an old power supply for the ONT (does it have a power connector on one end?) Just a quick thing the "black modem" is called an ONT it essentially does the same thing as a "modem" on a cable provider (Take the Fiber coming in and convert it the protocol + connector to ethernet). Also out of curiosity how big is your home, that may be causing some issues
