What you can expect with your Orbi system
I'm writing this mainly because a post like this would have saved me a lot of time and effort. If you're thinking about buying an Orbi system, or recently purchased one, here's a few things you can e...
t_k,
The experience that you so eloquently described in your first post in this thread is exactly the experience I had. Thanks for taking the time to write it out so clearly. It's exactly why I tried to find a way to essentially "disable" band steering. It doesn't work. Using separate SSIDs allows me to decide which band each device connects to, and my Orbi went from a pile of garbage to the most reliable connection I've had in years.
I'm glad my tutorial continues to help folks, but it boggles my mind that Netgear hasn't made a single attempt to try to resolve all of the problems you outline.
Cheers!
Roamabout As promised, a guide for how to reproduce the issue! It took a bit of time to put it together and I had other projects that required my attention.
Now that I've written it up, I sure hope people are able to use it to get refunds and that Netgear realizes it can't hide behind consumer confusion anymore.
