Bye Orbi
Had the rbr50 set with router and one satellite. Never did like it and it just went out. Had extended warranty and instead of getting orbi went with eero pro, 2nd gen, 3 pro units. Virtually nothing t...

1. I AM in Another forum. Eero, world of difference. It’s what orbi wishes it was. Cost more, but way better and faster. 150 down faster hard wired.
2. Obviously mine ended with hardware problems as it died. Best thing that could happen as we had the extended at best buy. Went with eero, they said far more problems with orbi.
3. Everything is better on the eero. Size, speed, setup, coverage, stability. Even the extra security is fat better, plus free 1password for family of 5, encrypt.me vpn, malwarebytes, system wide ad blocker, Anti virus, bunch of stuff fot 10 a month. Was paying 5 for 1password alone.
EVERYTHING is better.

It's nice to know that you're finally at peace with Eero. Life is too short to hold a grudge against Orbi. :smileyhappy:
- XsquidOct 16, 2019AspirantThe post above was meant to say 10.00 a month, not 10 months. The orbi just died a few days ago.
Yes, I am at peace, but netgear is off my list for anything. Far worse customer service also. Grudge? It's simply about buying better products. Wirecutter dropped orbi As their recommended product in favor of the eero (didn't know that untik after getting this one) doubt that means they have a grudge. Just dislike companies using customers as beta testers.
