Orbi RBK23 Started Blocking My Coporate Web site
I've had the Orbi RBK23-100NAS since January 2nd. The other day as I was working on my company's web site (https), Orbi decided to just prevent me from viewing the site anymore. If I connect directly...
I finally found the solution. I ripped out my Netgear Orbi and replaced it with a competitor. I'm done with lousy, non-existant customer support. New system up and the site loads like it should. I'm done with Netgear.
Glad you found your solution. I hope you have better luck with your new choice.
With that said, here are posts from forums of 3 different top brand competitors. Most issues are not the fault of any brand mesh system, but the blame seems to point to them, no matter the brand.
from various mesh manufacturer forums:

I am getting high jitter on my connection. When i ping from my device the ping varies from 8ms to 3000ms. With average around 20ms.
If I connect direct to the modem, I consistently get 7-8ms ping.
I am ready to trash the whole system """""", and go with """"".
Please advice on how to fix this issue.

I have 5 nodes. All have the latest firmware.
For some reason, after 2 days, the wireless nodes get disconnected and only the main node is active. The other 4 nodes are "offline". Only way to resolve is reboot everything. I only get 10Mps speeds while ISP wifi gets 1000Mps. Any idea how to solve this issue?
I now wish I went with """ that I have in my other home without any issues.

I have a master and 2 secondary, which were all working fine until week ago.
The master is connected directly Ethernet to my fiber modem, centered in the home.
Secondaries are connected wirelessly 30ft away each way.
I lose internet for 5-15 seconds, at least 10 times each day. I also lose VOIP calls for 5 or 15 seconds. Rebooting everything seems to fix this for a while. I'm ready to trash this garbage and go with """"".

IMHO, reading about similar network, speed and internet problems, from all brands, the majority of the time they are caused by a cable, placement, configuration, interference, ISP, etc.. Coincidentally purchasing and installing any branded new system, even the same brand, solves the problem, because of a fresh out of the box install. Also when purchasing a used system, make sure it is completely factory reset before install.
