RBK 8 Series Only - Unofficial v4.6.6.11 Firmware Experiences
So since NG is giving out some unofficial FW to those who have called in to NG support and users have posted links to this version of FW, I figured I'd try it myself.

Maybe we underestimate the complexity of mesh - when I was at my low point with Netgear and high point of frustration, I started researching competitors thinking about jumping ship... but when you delve into their community websites there seems to be just as much bitterness and anger at firmware problems. I honestly don't think anyone has found the golden ticket of great performance combined with flawless firmware updates combined with decent customer service. Unfortunately. There would seem to be a great market opportunity for someone to fill!

Indeed. So far, Orbi reminds me of the old saying about democracy: "It is the worst there is, except for all others that have ever been tried."
