Orbi vs Velop
Hi, I was hoping to get some feedback from anyone who has compared the Orbi RBK50 AC3000 (or RBK40 AC2200 - my house is under 3,000 SF so not sure if I would be OK with the RBK40 assuming it had all ...
Orbi is highly iinconsistent. In fact I bought the Velop first but in early stages and it didn't work well. I'm told now with the latest firmware updates its very easy to install and very stable.

Sometimes with my orbi on my 200mbps connection I get 250mbps on wifi and then it drops to 15mbps and I can't for the love of god figure out why! The wifi signal is very inconsistent.
I can tell you I have loads of problems keeping a wifi signal on orbi. In the community forum there are 12 pages of complaints https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Orbi-satellite-dropping-connection/m-p/1338235#M11446 with no real answers from Netgear!
