Orbi Review: Modern Connectivity With Great Design - SFGirl
Victoria from www.sfgirlbybay.com partnered with NETGEAR to review the Orbi WiFi System.

Is this a parody post? My orbi was great until the faulty firmware releases of the last month or so. Now at least once per day all my devices drop at random times with my android phone dropping most frequently.
It is a little expensive to be a classy piece of furniture but that is about all it is useful for at this point. I'm on 2.1.2.18, just in the time it took to write this post I had to disconnect and reconnect my wifi. Really disappointing that Netgear decided to crowdsource the QA dept on this one.
Speaking as a relatively untroubled Orbi user whose system has been more or less stable I can say that I think the Orbi looks pretty nice and is unobtrusive in the house. TBH - the units just sit there unnoticed for most of the time as they blend in fairly well. I think the Orbi logo on the front could be smaller or less obvious though.
Where I do think Netgear dropped the ball was on the horrible power supply which juts out from the socket making it difficult to hide. I ended up buying a mains extension lead, plugging that into the socket then hiding the supply behind a cabinet. Surely with the size of the RBR50, it would have been possible to put the PSU inside the main casing?
