Ready to bail on Orbi and try Velop- any tried it?
Getting frustrated by all the problems since this last firmware push.... For the $$$$ they charge for Orbi- it's just not acceptable. Anyone try the Velop? One thing I really like is it a...
Using a 2 node Velop right now and getting roughly 150 mbps to 200 on average with wired (usually closer to 150) per iperf3. They are easy to set up and pair, plus wired backhaul works well. Coverage is more than enough everywhere and well outside my house @ ~1600ftsq. Can’t compare to Orbi just yet, as I won’t have until next week. I will have more conclusive comparisons late next week which will decide which one I return
I would be interested in the systems management aspects of each. I haven't come across any reviews that discuss the management of each solution.
Velop isn’t terribly robust, either from the app or web interface. Certainly nothing like you’d see from Ubiquiti and the like. Like most mesh solutions, the general target is higher simplicity. I’d imagine orbi isn’t terribly different in that aspect. The Velop management definitely would not be one of the reasons to steer in its direction.
Yes, I understand what your saying and the target. I would hope that Netgear over the next couple quarters ups their game on the back office systems management aspects not only from a visual point of view but also additional features. SNMP would be great to begin with, especially since they are targeting the Orbi towards SOHO. http://www.netgear.com/orbi-pro/
