Orbi RBR50 material became sticky
Hi all, this may not be related to technical issues, but I noticed my Orbi's exterior material has became sticky when I touch it. Has anyone else encountered this issue ?

Rubbery products unfortunately often get sticky over time (it's just the nature of the coating). Here are some other suggestions for how to clean them (I haven't tried them): https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Clean-Sticky-Rubber/

That link has a good step by step guide on eradicating sticky rubber! I note my second RBS50 - recently purchased to extend coverage further - is not covered in the rubber texture.
The rubber texture can make basic plastic feel more expensive, but as it doesn't seem to last, we're best off without it.
Thanks.
