That said, I could not be more dissapointed with Netgear's complete disregard for their customers, with a "no refund" policy. They launched (and continue distribute) out a product that is eseentially alpha status--full of bugs, connection drops, etc, and refuse to acknowledge and address it. It was not easy spending $800 on something that is a complete POS, now they refuse to accept respeonsibility.Goodbye Netgear.

Facts? How about I send you 6 months of logs from all three of my devices?
If you live in a trailor, Orbi is likely a great system for you. However, if you live in a home anywhere near the sq. footage that Negeat claims it "covers wall to wall", then forget it.
I posted this so other consumers can avoid the many, many, many weekends of hopeless attempts of getting this system to work. Not to mention, $800 of useless pods collecting dust in my closet.
I'm personally putting out a $500 bounty out for any consumer that has used Netgear's Orbi system in a home beween 3500-5000 sq. ft, and has had a flawless experience (nevermind, horrible as with many here).
