2nd gen Eero announced.
Well. Eero just announced a new 2nd gen hardware, and I must say, I have pre-ordered it. Orbi raw speed is great (when it seems to work) but you have some major flaws that I just think it's time to...

Question, if your Orbi is working perfectly why are you posting on this thread? I can tell you I would not be on the Orbi message board if my system was working as advertised. There are plenty of websites I could be on other than an Orbi Message board.
The Internet is full of people trying to help others. Go look on the Ubiquiti forum, the Mikrotik forum, DSLreports, etc. Many people enjoy using their specialized knowledge to help others solve problems.

True, but what part of that post had anything to do with helping. The only thing I read was how very few people seem to have issues with the Orbi and therefore the hardware is not the problem.
If you were to go out and read any of the Orbi user reviews on BestBuy, Amazon and etc.. You will find the people who gave the Orbi the lowest review usually a 1 star, all say the same thing. The Orbi has connection issues. I rated the Orbi a 5 star originally on Amazon after installing it the first week and after I figured out the Orbi was causing my connection issues I changed it.

jleecloak1 I'm glad you brought up reviews Amazon 5 Star 82%, 4 star 8%, 3 star 3%, 2 Star 2%, 1 Star 5%. I don't think 82% of people were like ah I'm too lazy to change my review. Best Buy 1150 reviews, 4.7 stars out of 5. I'm simply trying to say that Orbi is not a half finish product, a few kinks to work out yes. But the reviews say not as many people have issues like you think.
