Thanks for the update, Antipodeansam7.

 

I'm really sorry to hear this continues to drag out for you. I hope they get it resolved. If they did, I wouldn't mind digging my Orbi out of the closet. The speeds was awesome when it worked. As of now the Eero Pro that I bought has been rock solid, though I have given up about 50-100Mbps of throughput. But at the end of the day, it's still plenty, and I will take that over dealing with -300Mbps every few days.

 

I'm still subscribed and watching, so I'd be grateful if you post your progress, even if you finally break down and replace the Orbi.
