Orbi 970 Series Quad-Band WiFi 7 Mesh Router (RBE971SB)

I have had the orbi 973 system since it came out ... Absolutely love it ... I did have one issue with the router last year and netgear replaced it... I installed a fan on it and never had a problem since. I did purchase a 800 series orbi about 3 years ago and returned it, nothing but problems . This 973 orbi is the best.. Before this orbi 973 I had the Asus et12 that is also a great router but only wifi 6E not 7 Routers and wifi are very difficult today .... I have lots (45 plus) of devices on the orbi 973, no problems at all....

I have an Orbi 970. Thought it was garbage and bought ubiquiti. Turns out it was my modem that was having issues. Been wanting to sell it for a while now.

We run the Orbi 970 in our home and it is fantastic. We are high usage people. We have a large house, and it covers completely along with our outside pool area. My sister has the 770 and it does just as well for her situation, which sounds about, like the OP situation.

Install voxell and keep running it, or look on marketplace or whatever. I picked up a 970 router plus two satellites for $300 in almost new condition.

Main unit is an RBRE950 and then I have two RBSE960 satellites that require frequent rebooting. Both are wired. The internet gets slower and slower until it stops working. At the suggestion of a reddit discussion I regressed to firmware V7.2.6.21\_5.0.20 . My prior firmware version isn't even listed on the Orbi website any longer. I assume that means it was so buggy they retracted it. My entire mesh system cost $1600 which I wish I had back to invest into something else.
