We're not the only ones...
I decided to troll some of the other communities to see if it is really only the Orbi that's giving some of its users fits. It seems that other high end routers have been experiencing very similar ...
nice post.
IMHO......like what you mentioned about days gone by where the internet/wifi/routers were at the most part a simple operation. Now days there are more varibles to each home and setup. Heck i've heard of folks here doing things with a router I would have never dreamed of 20+ years ago. This is not to mention, today there is lot more folks (some call them IT like or minded) that grew out of the Windows experience. They tend to be a bit more savy and desire the ability to 'tweak' their system. I salute the engineers who are trying to stay on top of the whole mess. Merry Christmas to all!
Regardless of everything posted, the Orbi RBK53 has still given me personally the best experience I've had in trying out different routers in the past 10 years. It's not to say it doesn't need improvement, because it does. And I do think they could do better instead of failing like it does for some people. A little bit smarter software to diagnose problems would go far in this segment.
