My observations thus far

So far for all my wireless devices (except my S8+ ) have worked well with the Orbi.
Finding the "sweet spot" distance between the main hub and Satellite is key for having wide coverage and not having the devices step on each other.
My S8+ drops all the time even after receiving Verizon's last update.
Wired devices connected to the Satellite have HORRBILE performance (>10mbs), so much so I had to resort to an AC Extender.
When performance becomes subpar you need to reboot the Orbi , which I now do weekly (would be nice to have a reboot scheduler)
Once you open a ticket the support team seems very responsive, but is reluctant to push you to level 2 without much back and forth

For completeness, my Orbi is in AP mode sitting behind an Untangled u25 router. I have gone through a complete refresh of the firmware including an nvram reset and I am running Firmware 1.12.0.18.

My firmware requests

Ability to designate 2.4 from 5 ghz wireless networks (much like what is being offered in the Orbi Pro, same hardware different packaging)
Ability to turn down the 2.4 signal strength, it currently swamps the 5ghz at distances where 5ghz would perform better.
Ability to choose if you want to update to the next Firmware update
Ability to reboot devices on a schedule (would be better if you didn't have to reboot boot but this is consumer grade hardware)
Better monitoring tools in both web ui and phone apps
Stop dropping my Samsung S8+

I am hoping that support will send me the links to the new beta firmware that is to be released shortly so I can see if there is any improvement.

Also 90 days of Hardware support is ridiculously short for a device of this cost and that is provided with the current subpar firmware. 6 months would have been more appropriate since we are all, in essence, beta testers at this point.

I think what we are all experiencing here is a company trying to push out all their shiny new hardware before they have the supporting firmware fully baked.
