I would contact NG support and ask about an RMA if geek squad can't help you. Something is going on with your router.
- fcarmonabrApr 02, 2018TutorThanks for your tips, I really appreciate it. I decided to get a new mesh network (EERO PRO) after hearing about all problems and returns of Orbi System. It is sad, because I just lost 370 and I was always a Netgear supporter... I will try to reach them out and see what they can do with this defective unit and if they fix it, I will probably give it to a friend of mine.
