Additional Orbi Satellite availability Europe
I purchased an Orbi this weekend, as I have some hard to reach areas that I wanted to ensure I could get excellent cover. I tore down a network with 2 nighthawks, and was happy with the initial results. I then proceeded to try and purchase two additional satellites, only to find that no one in Europe has them.
I called multiple distributors and they told me not to expect them before the end of Q2 due to a fault recall (despite notes on this board saying beginning Q2). This is a very poor position to leave customers. The entire point of a mesh network solution is that you can buy additional nodes in order to get full cover. If I had known that the satellites were not available, then I would have purchased an alternative device (that you could buy them is a fair assumption to make).
What gaurantees do we have that these devices will be available in April?

Re: Additional Orbi Satellite availability Europe
Still no availability. This is really crazy, I like the devices, but I bought the device with the promise that I would have the ability to scale out the network. Must be some legal obligation here.

Re: Additional Orbi Satellite availability Europe
I have the same issue, and Netgear keeps telling me that Amazon UK and Germany have it, but as you mention that doesn't help the rest of Europe. Is this product exclusive to Amazon now?

Re: Additional Orbi Satellite availability Europe
What would make that true is if you sent me a single link to an online store, in NL, with satellitle availability. There aren't any.
