Orbi Mesh Wi-Fi with Wi-Fi 6 For The Gigabit Internet Home - #NETGEARCES2019

That might be a harsh overcharacterization of Netgear quality and products -- I respectfully disagree with you and offer my experience so far:

My personal experience is that the Orbi RBR50 is a very good product -- I have An RBR50 and two RBS50s in a very large home with up to ~130 devices at any time including a large Sonos constellation, security cameras, DVR/NVR, Nest doorbells, garage doors, smoke detectors, thermostats, Pentair swimming pool controllers, bluerays, hue lights, alarms, smart televisions (at least 7), home theater amp, laptops, gaming desktops, Ipads, androids, iphones etc.  Everything works great -- even under such heavy demands.  As an early adopter of technology, I obviously like adding more and more.

I use both dynamic and static IP addresses in my architecture as well as  port forwarding and IP reservations. 

The entire system runs smooth as silk and delivers massive bandwidth to all corners of the property, both inside and out. 

Granted, there are additional firmware & software capabilities I would like to see, but overall I am highly satisfied and a proud owner.

Remote management works well.  I dont use Circle!

Once set up properly, the Orbi system is the fastest and best routing and wireless solution I have used...  And I have tried a lot including Linksys, Cisco, Luma (ugh!), and others.

In my view, the biggest issue with these systems users experience is setting up improper interfaces with other routers, switches, modems and not understanding proper routing & architecture principles.  Networking can be complicated and some legacy devices can be problematic -- but I dont see that as a failure of Netgear... it is the nature of evolving technology.

When the new Orbi is released it will have issues like every other high-tech product.  I will still probably get it!
