Just when I try to research the latest "get rid of cable" rave, I decide to update my WiFi router with what I thought was a great option, the ORBI RBK50 system.
Installed last week and ever since it's been a constent headache of disconnects. Trying to do a little research has turned into potentially hours of suggestions and rebuttles, really not much I understand But it's given me a few ideas, the main one is go back to my old system. After having used a Netgear WNDR4500 for 4-5 years with zero issues I am very dissapointed in this "upgrade".
WiFi shouldn't be so complicated especially since I really don't have anything special connected. A few Roku devices, a Sonos, a few phones and laptops.
Very disappointed at Netgear
