Any good feedback from anybody regarding the orbi's epecially long time users ?
Just wondering if there is any good feedback regrading the Orbi, there must be some happy reports from long time users?. Any feedback with downgrading the firmware?
Had mine since mid January. The first 2 weeks I had occasional reboots due to the Google issue. Once Google Play Services was updated they have been running great. No dropouts and no reboots. All advanced features are on and I'm running the 2.1 firmware. Coverage over the 3 floors (about 900sqf per floor) is great. I have many wired and wireless devices including phones, tablets, PCs, Mac, Xboxes, streaming boxes, home automation, security cameras, Google Homes, and speakers.
I've had a very positive experience with my Orbi. I bought it in April 2017 and I haven't had any problems with it at all.
I know that many people have had a very poor experience with the Orbi. I was reluctant to buy the Orbi because I'd previously had a very poor experience with a Netgear DGND3700v1, which ended with my obtaining a refund from Netgear. However, the Orbi had received very positive reviews. I wanted to give it a try because we've struggled to achieve adequate Wi-Fi coverage in our house, which has thick stone walls. I ordered from Amazon because I knew I'd be able to return it if it didn't work satisfactorily. The Orbi has been outstanding. We now get Wi-Fi coverage everywhere in the house and even in the back garden.
