2nd gen Eero announced.
Well. Eero just announced a new 2nd gen hardware, and I must say, I have pre-ordered it. Orbi raw speed is great (when it seems to work) but you have some major flaws that I just think it's time to...
I think it is disgusting of Netgear to rely on their customers to beta test their products. The Orbi has been out for 9 months and they are still using their customers to fix it instead of hiring some talented IT people to fix. They are dishonest in marketing a product to the public that is full of bugs.

private beta testing with a group of willing users is actually a far better option that releasing it to the wild and letting the early adopters be beta testers , this happens with many manufactures as they can afford the r and d and testing time , netgear do and have a specific team employed to beta test with various users and various setups and countries , the orbi being a completly new and different way of doing things has come across some complex and to be honest quite confusing situations that even i cant explain , one being why many have perfect working orbi's and others have nothing but issues , this massive a descrepency can be hard to fatom never mind resolve but the r and d team are still on this even today as its not like they have just dumped the orbi on the market and moved on as is obvious by the amount of fw updates there has been
