I bought an Orbi 773 at BestBuy today. To prep, I downloaded the user manual and also the firmware in case the unit I bought isn't up to date (although I assume it will auto-update on initial setup,...
I've used both systems and they performed pretty much exactly the same.
Versions tend to happen when something on the motherboard isn't being made anymore so they have to upgrade to a v2/3 etc to accommodate the change. Its rare to see a performance difference because if there was, then they tend to change the models.
Wondering if the v2 will receive 18 months or so of additional firmware updates than the original v1 given their respective release dates before each are eventually EOL'd ... I'm thinking not. Thoughts?
