Just offering my opinion
I have been using Netgear products for years and recently updated to the Orbi WIFI 7 Mesh system.
With the previous Netgear systems I have ordered and installed to replace my existing system I have always had issues with the with the setup and transition to the new system. I use the Netgear mesh system for our home network in order to isolate our home network from the Internet Service Provider modem and EERO equipment.
Having said that I want to say the the setup, instructions, and procedure was the simplest, easiest to understand, and most effective that I have experienced. I was expecting to spend an entire day uninstalling the old system and then installing the new one, as I had experienced in the past. That was not the case this time. I had our home network up and running in less the 2 hours. That includes unpacking, reading and re=reading the instructions, and replacing the old equipment with the new equipment. I would like to thank the Technical Writers, Testers, Software Developers, and the entore team for producing such an outstanding product and system. We couldn't be happier.
Thank you and many many Kudos.
