Orbi Wifi 6 AX6000 Is a Disaster, Do NOT Buy!
I bought the Orbi Wifi 6 AX6000 kit and got it from Best Buy last week -- it is an absolute disaster! I documented my plight here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu4kB85W78c Cons No backward c...
You bought literally the newest of the new. These features might be coming down the road (not sure as I'm not a Netgear employee) but they don't list anywhere on their website any of the features you list as a con. The spec sheet doesn't show them, the orbi box itself doesn't show them.
The original Orbi initially shipped with very minimal features that slowly got added on as the technology progressed. Like I said, its literally the newest of the new. New wireless standard and new mesh setup. If I'd bought something like this, my hope would be that all the basic features were rock solid prior to adding in the add-ons.
I'm not sure whats going on with Best Buy but Amazon doesn't even have this available for order until November 11th. Netgear's own website doesn't even have a product manual listed yet.
I can't judge whether the system is good or not as I haven't played with one yet. The only point I fully agree with is the con of the price tag. $700 is stretching the budget quite a bit. Only bonus to it is that it has caused the old Orbi system to go down in price and make more palpable for other people.
