Orbi WiFi System

I am using AT&T U-verse 18mb dl.  The modem is an NVG589.  I have had pauses and delays in opening a web site, google, etc. for some time now.  Have several devices, never more than 2 on line simitaineouly.  AT&T has yet to find a fix.  DNS issue? Dont really know that much about it to say.  Will Orbi help with this issue in any way?  I am using the Netgear extender, WM3000RP, which provides a good signal in the basemant.  And have added my old Netgear WNDR3400v2 after the 3000RP, still no help.  Again, was just wondering if the Orbi will help my issue.

Thanks, BobS

    That is hard to answer because if its a internet issue then it would still happen on any router but Orbi will make using wireless easy  as it will make 1 network in your home no need for switching networks and the router will hand your devices off to the best wifi signal when moving around the home.

      Again, thanks Darren.  I suspected this, but I'm grasping for an answer to my delima.  AT&T doesnt seem to react very well.  BobS
