Intermittent internet connectivity outage with Orbi?
I just installed my new Orbi router yesterday, replacing a Nighthawk R8500. I believe that overall wireless coverage has improved, though top-end performance is not quite as high (measured via fast....
I read in the other "Ring Door Bell" thread that a customer had better results after disabling "Enable Implicit BEAMFORMING". So I tried that just to see what happens. It's probably too early to tell yet, but my 2 Nest cameras have only disconnected once in the past 2 days and I think that's because there was a power outage at my house today (I wasn't home and both cameras went out at the same time, something the intermittent outages haven't done).
Linksys came out with the Velop Tri-Band. Sounds very similar to the Orbi. It is offered in packages of 3, 2, and 1 nodes.
it's more expensive at $500 for the 3 node, but if two nodes are enough it's $349.
I've been happy with Google Wifi, but I'm going to give the Velop a try. I'll report back in a few days.

Check the reviews for the Velop (smallnetbuilder).... not ready for primetime
Have given up now and returned mine to Amazon. Could not live with constant iOS disconnections. It's a Shame as I really wanted to like this product but I had to make a decision quickly to return due to amazon returns policy running out. Have given netgear months to fix and they should have come up with a solution by now. When I spoke to tech support didn't appear to offer any timescale other than to say our engineers are looking at it? Good luck to others that persivere With the system and hopefully they iron out the bugs in time.
