Orbi WiFi System - Had Enough
I bougt the Orbi system back in Jan, I also got 2 sats. I have had nothing but daily disconnects where I had to reboot router to get it to work. I stayed the course and waited through firmware update...
I was considering switching to Velop and, having learned my lesson with the Orbi, took a look at the user forums. They seem to be having similar issues though. Good to hear you are having a positive experience. I will likely wait for the Asus Lyra though.
Having used ASUS for a long time (5+ years) for networking, I'd say you're in store for a lot of the same issues. The whole reason I'm on Orbi is because of instability of the Asus AC88u, AC87u, AC68u, AC66u's.
I owned every one of the ASUS you listed below and I still own the AC87U. I don't haven't had any problems with ASUS routers. I love the UI. What kind of problems did you have with ASUS?
All had massvie inability to deal with lots of devices. I have over 90 devices, 50 of which are connected 24/7/365. The Asus' had terrible NAT loopback problems, dropped connections of 5ghz devices, etc, and none could adequately cover my 5000 sq ft home.
Used merlin's firmware for a long time too, to no avail. Terrible devices.
