I am done
Well, the family can take it no longer with the daily disconnects. As much as I love it, I just went back to my ASUS Ac 5300 (which doesn't disconnect) and going to Costco to get my $500 back. I will...
I don't know if the orbi would be the best as a cookie cutter system once u get to needing 3. I don't like the router has to be in the middle. If that were the case in my house I would have went for a more mesh type system. Luckily my house is structured where 2 is ideal. My house is 3 floors on one side of the house the router sits then in the middle I have the sat. I can say if I had the 3 system even at 4700 sq/ft I would over saturate.
Have you tried exchanging your Orbi? maybe you got a lemon, it's true that some people are having some issues but for the most part Orbi seem to be working great for the majority of adopters, check the reviews positive for the vast majority.
The funny thing is the system use to work perfectly for a couple of months and the only change was a firmware upgrade. That ruined everything. I think there are so many people that are having the same issue, it is either defective devices (either at purchase or they become defective as they are used) or its firmware. Every since I went back to my Asus AC5300, there have been no drops!
Could be a solution. I have not done that yet
