I use Airplay regularly with Apple TV with no problems at all.
Never used it with HomePod or other audio devices.

Hmm, with apple TV you may be sitting still while streaming right?
The issues I'm trying to avoid is where you're moving around (even in the same room) and get dropouts - potentially when you move from one node to another.

I think that the drops while roaming depends much on the device and how it handles roaming and if it supports all the roaming enhancement standards. I believe that if there are mobility drops then you would see this in all other applications not only Airplay!
In Orbi it's just important to have enough overlaping between the nodes to make roaming possible.
Please have a look at this briefing regarding roaming in Orbi: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Roaming-in-Orbi-and-Roaming-Enhancement-Standards/m-p/1680947#M48135

Hi,
Works with HomePod with no problems - have had 2 HomePods, one Apple TV and several IOS devices for months.
- ZamzooFeb 11, 2019AspirantThanks!
So there’s no issues with playback halting or pausing if you transition from node to node from your phone?
I get cutouts when my phone jumps node on the Velop, very annoying.
