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..

    Another "old timer" here *smile*. I have to agree, great wireless throughout my house. First time ever...makes a great wireless AP, very happy with it. The eero would be my second choice if the Orbi hadn't worked as well as it has.
