EERO Gen 2 Vs Orbi - What’s the Fastest WiFi Mesh System? TheWirecutter.com

Since the Orbi is a piece of garbage that will drop your connection continuously, I'd vote for any other product other than this one. I wish I had never purchased mine.

Fortunately, the Orbi works great in my household and doesn't "drop my connection continuously."
Orbi is an awesome product, simply the best Wi-Fi I have ever owned in over 25 years using the internet.
A few hiccups here and there but outside of this the Orbi has rocked it and performance beats anything else so far I have installed. I'll keep my Orbi thanks..
Unfortunately, mine drops connection and reconnects about every 10 minutes. Orbi connected to Netgear C3700 Cable Modem/Router.
I have moved satellite 2 3 different locations, same problem since day (about a month now).
Apart from early hiccups, our Orbi has been very stable and dishes out great wifi around the house. Our previous head-spot issues are behind us.
If Netgear add a working the QoS support and USB drive capabilities to the Orbi then it would be perfect.
Keep in mind that the Orbi can Daisy chain. Some people don't realize that.
- I have to agree My orbi drops connections all the time.
- I was an early adopter to Orbi and the internet may not be available was so annoying I had to buy the gen 2 EERO Pro Set a few weeks back. No more random drops, just a solid connection in all corners of my home. The Orbi is now a $350 doorstop. Get your sh$£ together Netgear, this products firmware needs alot of work. Stability 1st

I bought the Orbi for the speed and the dedicated backhaul channel (and the ethernet ports. It's been stable since I got it last January, but since the end of October it frequently disconnects. I've tried every remedy people have suggested here and none have worked. It's beyond frustrating at this point and is driving me crazy. I'm not alone. For those that it's still working perfectly, I'm happy for you, because I don't want to you to go through what many of us are.
When it works, it's brilliant, but when it disconnects several times a day and leaves everything in limbo, it's a huge pain.
