Orbi ... bummer ... no separate SSIDs
Bummer ... really wanted to go the Orbi route in replacing my aged Airport Extreme. Love the dedicated 5 GHz backhaul. And the hub/spoke architecture fits my domicile perfectly. CostCo even has a sale on the three pack this week!
But that single SSID is a deal breaker. I want to be able to force devices onto 2.4 or 5 bandwidths based on usage ... :smileysad:
Definitely will recommend Orbi to others that do not care about that.
