What am I doing wrong? Had my Orbi 3mths and its always working perfectly. Great product.

so the big question is.. which firmware are you using ?

You are probably in the sielent majority. Mine has worked much better than my old Asus RT87. That thing was never stable and required a daily reboot just to keep it from locking up. 

Hopefully Netgear figures out how to fix the issues that plauge a lot of the posters here. 

You probably have a correct configured set up and well working configuration and environment. My system as been stable since day one since I got it from NG. Been working solid and with out issue.

If it's working well for you Don't do any FW updates. Keep it as is and check back later on if and when NG posts new FW.

I have 20+ devices spread over 5ghz, 2.4ghz & ethernet, but my Orbi 30 works great. It gives me full cover (70Mb+ internet) over my large 4 bedroom (solid) house. Unlike my old Asus ac68u, which couldn't reach the whole house at any sort of speed and as soon as any device moved too far from the 5ghz, it went onto 2.4ghz and stayed there, so all wireless devices ended up on a single 2.4ghz band, nothing on the 5ghz.

Orbi, spreads all my devices across the the 4 bands (5 & 2.4ghz on each device). So all devices have plenty of bandwidth.

Connected I have; sony 4k tv, roku 4k stick, canon printer, WD media server, Samsung android phones, Samsung android tablets, apple phones, Samsung tizen smartwatch, nest thermostat, amazon kindle, WD network drive, Google home mini, amazon echo, Sony surround sound  & Sony wireless speaker

I HAVE NO ISSUES! but then I do live in the UK

It's certainly not a bad thing the Orbi's are performing adequeately for you. However, there's a gap between "mine works perfectly" and "I haven't noticed any problems".

The upset people on the forums making noise are here because they're impacted by the problems and there is no fix. It's not that you did everything right and all the frustated people on here somehow did something wrong, it's just the state of the product. Over 20% of the Amazon reviews (1 in 5) of the product are people who hate it due to the difficult-to-track-down problems. However, the problems aren't immediately apparent - so many people review it after using just a day or two.

If you're interested in seeing the issue that most people are up in arms about, here's how to test it out yourself. You'll notice it's not a 2 second test case to run, but that's just the nature of the issues.
