New Orbi setup Issues
Received my Orbi yesterday and had some install issues along the way. I followed the Quick Start Guide and got my Orbi at a point to login to the admin portal. For some reason I was unable to get in...
I kept the three orbis for a while but the speeds were terrible. I tried troubleshooting with tech support. Tried different firmware versions. My Google wifi (3) work great. I'm getting phenomenal speeds but like I said I do have them bridged.
I'm not sure if I can return the product as I bought it through Amazon and their website says they will only refund new products at 50%. I'd like to try Google wifi but I think I'm stuck with these Orbis now. I have internet, but not the phenomenal speeds they talk of. Mostly I think because I just can't seem to penetrate a brick wall. Probably my fault for dreaming it might be possible. My question now is do I risk another $300 for a 3rd Orbi to see if that will fix it, or just live with intermittent (but not terrible wifi). What do you think?
