Hi. I wanted to purchase an orbi last week but looking at all the comments on this forum I am just lost.

I dont need ethernet backhaul nor daisy chain (planning to buy 1 router + 1 satellite combo) and no circles option either.

Please advise.  Thanks

There's no real way to tell if you'll have problems or not as the cause of the issues is not fully understood. If you want to give it a try make sure you buy from a place that has a good return policy. Chances are you'll work without issues, but if you do get the drop out some here experience you can always return it.
