So if I was to return the Orbi
Wanting to try an alternate to the Orbi to see if I can get any better performance out of a stand alone wifi router before returning the Orbi to Costco. What is the best consumer grade router that I...
Picked up a Netgear X8 8500 today and it works great with no drops so far. WIFI seems to be comparable to Orbi for what I am doing. Back to Costco with the Orbi.

then its clear that you didnt need a wireless disto system in the first place if a single wireless router covers your needs
i think many of the complaints we are seeing may be related to the fact they are using the orbi in too small an area
Again you have no clue. Actually netgear support has located the issue and working on a debug firmware to help resolve it. They requested to give them more time to fix the issue for everyone. My house is a large one story. 2600 sq ft on 1 acre. My Orbi's are about 40 feet apart from one another and I have great coverage for all my devices to work just fine. Still, Android and IOS devices dropping as well as TIVOs.
now ease up on the personal attacks hey , by all means debate the facts
yet here i have the orbi system setup and nothing drops out at all be it apple or android or windows , i use the orbi router and 1 sat in my 3500 sq ft with them being 50 feet apart and it all works fine so go figure , i also have a second sat but i dont use it as it does cause overlap issues and issues for the clients roaming etc
