What have I done? :( The biggest disappointment ever called ORBI
ORBI RBR50 + RBS50 - So far I consider it as my biggest mistake ever plus the waste of money spent on that toy :((. Here is why:
1. Unstable - keeps rebooting withou a single reason
2. Droping connection
3. AC3000 - it is some kind of joke! Speed reaches maybe 400 Mb/s-500 Mb/s at the max if you are lucky - LAN!
4. WAN port unable to utilise high bandwith, my example 1000 Mb/s (down)/100 Mb/s (up)
What a waste of good money! I have been with NETGEAR for over a decade, always satisfied and now I am simply speachless...

AGREE! I have wasted enough hours fiddling around, downgrading firmwares, hoping new firmware works, moving my router, doing factory resets, adjusting settings...... Nothing stops the constant dropped connections! I AM DONE! Never buying another Netgear router product. I've read just about every post on dropped connections and have tried various fixes, but none ever works.
Having had 3 months stable use since March of my 2 sat/1 router AC3000 Orbi, my 90 devices have enjoyed a day and a half of perfect connections as measured by my Fingbox compared to the literally HUNDREDS of disconnects per day on my Orbi since I installed my 3 node Eerro 2nd gen Thursday night. My orbi is on Craigslist.
Mind you Nighthawk X6 R8000 works like a DREAM! So not every product sucks...
Never the less spent over 500EUR for the toy that only brings me headache!
