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?
I agree. But before all these firmware updates I was getting FULL THROUGHPUT on wifi!!! That's the issue....now it's so topsy turvy I don't know what to do. I think I've reset my router like 50 times!!!! This is not worth the cost. So either VELOP, AMplifi HD or EERO PRO 2nd Gen. Which one would you go for - these have to be more stable than the Orbi!
Don't have any experience with any of those others to compare. If you're using wifi backhaul and if I understand those other systems, all will be at a disadvantage to Orbi out of the box because of lower backhaul performance.
One thing that might be worth trying (if you haven't already) would be to change the SSID to something new and connect only your highest class AC device to see what kind of throughput you get in best case scenario with no other devices connected.
- Yes good idea. Right now I’ve done a NVRAM reset, restored to factory settings, now uploading new beta firmware and then will test. Hopefully it should all be okay. Mother of god has this been a troublesome journey!
