Had to return my Orbi system, fix your system if you want people to buy it Netgear
I really wanted to like this wifi system. It provided great coverage and the speeds were excellent. However, there were too many issues with devices dropping connections and chromecast functionality....
This device is supposed to work with only 1 ssid for all bands, that's how it's designed. It claims to automatically steer your devices to the right channel/band. We shouldn't have to use a backdoor and write code for our devices to work properly. The average consumer would have no clue how to do that stuff anyway. And as far as the beamforming, mimo, and daisychaining goes I tried enabling and disabling all of those and still had the issues. Thank God for Amazon's return policy.
Good Luck.

You're totally right. However, just a friendly reminder - please do leave a review on Amazon about your experience in case you haven't already. Netgear is hiding behind inflated postitive reviews and fanboys like FURRYe38 here.
