Give D-Link a review if you find NG not to your liking.

Hello,
I've been shopping for a mesh wifi system for my home. I like most of aspects of the Orbi systems, especially the multiple LAN ports on the units. However, the reviews online and as indicated by numerous comments here, make it seem that they are very unstable, drop connections continuously, and require a lot of mucking around to get it to work. While I am capable of the messing around and figuring out settings and troubleshooting, I'm simply tired of having to do that with home networks (which is why I'm shopping). Would anyone suggest actually buying one of these systems? I realize those without problems probably aren't commenting in forums, but these aren't cheap and it seems the Netgear support is awful too.
Thanks!
