Tell the Wire Cutter to reconsider their recommendation of the Orbi
I bought the Orbi 3 pack at Costco on the recommendation of the Wire Cutter. It might have been a fine product then, but it's garbage now (and has been for months). I've reached out to the review sit...
Again, NG only pulled it from being auto updated. It's still available and some have had good experiences with that version of FW.
Again, it's not always a HW or FW issue. Again, the problems seen can be caused by other factors.
Some of us are here to help find out where the real problems are, answer questions, provide help for those asking and help NG improve where issues are really at. Nothing wrong with this.
Besides, wirecutter isn't the only one with reviews about the Orbi system:
https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/33028-netgear-orbi-reviewed
This site tends to offer more testing results and more accurate reviews of routers and wifi.
In addition to the review, SmallNetBuilder did a relatively recent comparison of the Orbi and Velop and still found Orbi the better of the two: https://www.smallnetbuilder.com/wireless/wireless-reviews/33132-wi-fi-system-retest-netgear-ac3000-orbi-and-linksys-velop
Saw that as well.
Seen many other users posing about the good and the bad, Linksys, Google, NG.
Still haven't seen any one talk about D-Links Mesh system though accept for SNB reivew. :smileyvery-happy:
Aren't the Dlink COVR products pretty new to the mesh game?
I did alot of research too before buying Orbi and never ran into a Dlink solution.
Ya, middle of last year.
Friend of mine has one...Workes well in there older 50 style house. Helped them set it up. Major improvement on there older single wifi router which didn't have the power on the radios.
