Any good feedback from anybody regarding the orbi's epecially long time users ?
Just wondering if there is any good feedback regrading the Orbi, there must be some happy reports from long time users?. Any feedback with downgrading the firmware?

I think you will get a range of replies including people that ran trouble free for months before a firmware update broke something as well as people that had a bad experience from day 1. I have had my system for almost a month (router plus 2 sats) in a 5600sq foot house and the Orbi has exceeded my expectations.

Mine is stable. I have 2 satellites. I am running the AC3000 series. To be clear, I have only had it a couple weeks. It was a little bit of a challenge to get it up and running but part of that was my misunderstanding. I thought the Ethernet backhaul was part of the current firmware which is incorrect. I was plugging in my Ethernet cable and it was freaking out. Once I realized that wasn't supported with my firmware, I got the 5Ghz backhaul working and it worked great. I would like to get the Disney Circle feature working but that is part of the new firmware that people are having issues with. I am not running that firmware and mine is stable. And fast. I like it.
