Anyone received theirs yet?

I ask because I took the plunge Tuesday as soon as the email hit my mailbox.  Paid for expedited shipping with expected delivery date (but not guaranteed) of today.  Fed-X 1 day shipping "once shipped".

 

Nothing today.  Called and inquired and they said should be out and on its way today and arriving tomorrow.

 

A check of the order shows still in the warehouse at 2:44 pm today (9/20/23)..

 

I feel that when I pay $2,500.00 for a product as well as expedited shipping then actual shipment should be a bit more accurate than so far.

 

Hence my curiosity as to whether anyone has received their WiFi 7 Orbi system yet.

  • Well, at 4:55 pm got a note from Netgear that my order would arrive tomorrow morning by Fed-X.  Thanks!

      Mine showed up a couple of days ago.   1st impression were "I can't believe how heavy the box is", this cant be my wireless router...

      Sure enough, there was a Netgear sticker on the box so I opened it up and found the packaging was pretty well thought out.  Not Apple quality but definitely influenced by... 

       

      Setup was a bit of a PITA when the app connected to the router yet told me It couldnt configure it.  😕 

       

      About 5 power cycles later (Dont bump the power plug its janky), I finally got my phone to configure and update the router.

      Good luck, I'll pray for you...
