How is this product so bad?
How is it possible? I was so excited to use this solution. Went to Costco with a smile on my face. Felt good about buying it and carrying it out of the store. Told a bunch of friends and family a...
that's the thing. For some of us (and probably most users) it works just fine. I have had no issues thru two firmware updates.
- Lucky!
No, no luck involved, as far as I can tell. I have installed three different Orbi setups, one RBK53 and two RBK40 and none of them shows any of the issues, which are widely discussed on this forum. All of them are in very different environments, one with wired backhaul and two with wireless backhaul. Admittedly, all of the Orbis are running in AP mode, since all networks are DSL-based and connect via their resp DSL routers - all of them being FritzBoxes, to the internet. My RBR40 has only rebootet, when I had it installing a new fw.
- Must be frustrating but I'm also now 6 days running on latest firmware and other than power outages, would have been up 30+ days on previous. 30 devices, mix of apple Android TV's home automation... Curb to backyard coverage. Solid as a rock. Never been happier with Orbi. RBK53 Costco kit. Default settings except for opendns and agressive roaming. Have never done a full reset since day 1.
