Orbi vs Amplifi HD vs Eero 2nd Gen - Has anyone actually tried these to compare (not reviews online)
Orbi vs Amplifi HD vs Eero 2nd Gen - Has anyone actually tried these to compare (not reviews online). I've tried the VELOP (although now with the latest firmware it maybe much better), the Google Wif...

Thank you for your feedback. Maybe I should stick with the orbi as overall for me yes SPEED is important as whats the point of having a 200mbps connection, especially in India and spending an arm and a leg for the same. But I don't understand why my ETHERNET throughput to orbi is full capacity and my wifi is like only 50-75% at best. Any ideas?

Had Orbi for a while now and loved it until firmware 2 and all I got was constant issues. To the extent that it drove me to look for something else.
Tried Google - Seemed OK at first but couldn't cope when all the family wanted to surf at the same time, (we have around 60 clients)
Then tried Amplifi and really loved it. Loosk cool too! Not quite as fast as the orbi and range actually seemed a bit further too but above all it was rock solid connection. Was about to pack the Orbi away but then they relased beta firmware 2.1.2.10 and I thought I would give it one more try.
Two weeks solid and no more dropped connections. Nothing touches the Orbi for speed - when it works! The latest beta seems to have fixed things, at least for me and for now.
