Orbi dropping wireless, now rebooting itself. I am SO SICK OF THIS!
I am an IT Professional and I have bought this Orbi RBK50 system for my home network, since my family and I have recently moved into a 3600 sq ft house.
This system has been nothing but trouble...

Jun 10, 2017Cat6 would probably be more than enough and signal loss and latency shouldn't be an issue as long as it's less than 100m of cable. Good luck,

Thanks! And this solution is obviously much less expensive than the Asus RT-AC88U I've been eyeballing. According to the specs and reviews, it's one of the best routers with impressive speeds and range, with some to spare. But it's also $270 plus tax on Amazon. Then again, I did pay $400 for the Orbi and $300 for the Google WiFi. But I like your less expensive solution much better.
What's your take on powerline AV ethernet adapters as a solution rather than running cable through my attic?
