Good luck everyone with your Orbi System. I am returning my tomorrow to CostCo. I put a Ubiquinti System, business system, and it works great.

I also returned my Orbi system to Costco for a refund (thankful for their great return policy). I was just tired of all the dropped internet connections, slow speeds, etc. I decided to go back to a single traditional router system, so I bought the Netgear Nighthawk AC3000 R7900P WiFi Router from Costco. I was a bit hesitate to buying another Netgear router, but I thought I'd take the chance since I could return it so easily for a full refund. This new router has been running for over a week now, and it seems to be working well. It's a tri-band system with a 2.4 GHz and two 5 GHz transmitters. I've noticed that my newer devices (e.g., my LG G6 Smartphone) can send and receive at the highest internet speeds (125 Mbps down, 12 Mbps up) anywhere in my house on the 5 GHz system (even at a few previous dead spots). The 2.4 GHz is downloading around half the max speed in my home because I have the 20/MHz Co-Existance feature turned on (to help with outside overlapping WiFi signals). But that's fine since I'm maintaining a consistent connection to the internet. So far, this single router is working out ok for my home (knock on wood)!
