Costco Orbi w/ 2 satellites RBK753S AX4200
Costco is selling this model for $399.99 with two satellites.
I just bought the AX6000 Orbi model from Best Buy for $699 with only one satellite. That's a huge price difference. Would I notice a difference in performance if I return the Best Buy orbi and purchase the cheaper one from Costco?

Is the 8 series not working well for you?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between RBR and RBS📡 to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.Most differences are wifi connection rates are a bit lower on the 7 series and there isn't a 2.5Gb WAN port on the 7 series.

Not everyone is having the same issues. If your having problems with your system then you'll need to contact NG support and open up a support ticket.

And being told that not everyone is having the same issues is a bandaid response to a bigger underlying issue. Most consumers don't know what the underlying issue actually is.. I however am aware and have been there, done that.
