Actively looking for a replacement

I have had this setup for about 6 months now.  I have followed everything here and updated to the latest beta.   We have had it.  Just passing this on for others.    We are actively looking for a rep...

Looking for the same advice from this forum. I've spent too much time trying to get sdtability out of my Orbi. 

 

Velop?

Lyra?

Eero?

 

I have a 2 story home. 2800 sq. ft. Orbi did a great job before eliminating dead zones. about 20 wifi devices incl. Ring, Bose Soundtouch, 2 Smart TVs, android devices plus google home devices (yes I know that may interfere)

 

We watch some netflix. My son games but thatss a direct ethernet connection from our PC.

    I had Velop- worked ok, returned it after reading reviw of Orbi.

     

    Velop is like Orbi if you can get to telnet interface -access to more features like a 5GHZ SSID.

        Along with Orbi, I have tried Velop and Google Wifi.  All worked great initially and then started to have similar problems with random disconnects.  I am wondering if mesh wifi just isn't a good solution.
