Update V1.9.1.12 Netgear officially announcing 'Improvement in wireless connection Stability'
Just downloaded the latest release V1.9.1.12 and noticed in the official release notes from Netgear it states as fix 'Continious Improvement in wireless connection stability'..Dosent spefically makre...
im saying if you are unhappy by all means get a refund and go else where but expect the same and expect the same disapointment when say even the asus is the same
band steering and ap steering are a part of how mesh and DW systems work
auto updating also seems to be the new norm by most manufactures
no one really knows apart from the asus dev team what in the lyra and what it actually does and how it does it
i expect its bluetooth setup and has both band steering and ap steering and one ssid and onlt 867M
dont get me wrong i like asus gear and i have a lot of it , but dont build your hopes on something that cant be that different

As for auto update I disagree, especially in networking gear. And absolutely not in enterprise class network gear. But for argument's sake, let's say it's accurate. A company's competitors choosing poor business practices does not justify them doing so, unless your goal is to create a bad reputation for your company/products.
Best wishes too all who continue to have problems and have decided to stick with it. My patience with Netgear Support has grown thin. I grew tired of the "please send us this, please send us that" asks and when I asked several times for feedback on what I sent in and didn't receive a response, I knew it was a lost cause.
I bought my Orbi RBK53 at Costco in December 2016 and I'm estatic that I kept my receipt and that Costco has an awesome return policy. Not only did I get my entire purchase price of $535 back, there were no questions asked excecpt for "is it broken or did you not like it"? I am now back to my Apple Airport Extreme. It's in the same location as where the Orbi router was after I moved it upstairs to our main level and all satellites were unplugged. Ping times seem to be very stable, no packet loss and so far, no disconnects. Hopefully moving this upstairs to our main level will provide us what we need for Wifi coverage throughout our house where I don't have to search for another "mesh" system.
I hope those that continue to struggle find a resolution that is satisfactory and in short time.
Best to all.
Good luck Tub,
I am 30 seconds behind you.
Take the time you spent dealing with Orbi problems. Add it up.
Now, determine the level of effort and time needed to run an Ethernet cable between two locations with your Airports.
Now you have Orbi, only an Orbi not made by Netgear, and something that works. No steering, no WIFI backhaul issues, etc, etc.
Another busy work week ahead of me, but I think my credit card is about to buy me an Ubiquiti.
Though, I am very curious about ASUS Lyra. But waiting until Q3 with these Orbi problems....Tough sale. I wish ASUS would hurry up.
Good luck to you, and happy trails.
