Spot on. The worst part is when the people in this community get bashed or held accountable for something we have zero control over.
It amazes me of how much personal time smart & talented people spend in here assisting others in resolving technical challenges.
Personally I find it fun and rewarding, but it is still time that could be used elsewhere.
And yes, I do believe the product is a good one.
Let me take a moment to say thank you to you and FURRYe38 for your active support. In the few days I've been here have learned a lot from reading alone.

Seconded (thirded or whtever).
In spite of being a little critical of the first post, FURRYe38 always tryies hard to help people visiting the forum and I must offer congratulations on being so patient with everyone (LOL, including with me).
On a completely different note (and I have already posted this in the Orbi app forum) with this new firmware the Orbi app now reports wireless sync rate for devices connected to the router, not only the sync rate for devices connected to satelites.
This is something I was particularly unhappy with and I'm very pleased it has finally been fixed.

Oh? Is the new firmware needed for that? I don't see the link speed being reported on the base station connected wireless devices.

Going back to the signature thing one last time, the field in the forum software accepts HTML formatting in there in case you want to be creative.

I made the same happy observation as raven_au , and yes, the new firmware is required to see link speeds on the base unit.
