Speeds have plummeted after latest update.
New to Orbi and have been delighted with its speed. I have 500 internet and all over the house was getting very fast speeds and always without exception full upload speed of 35. As soon as I’ve u...
Ragar99 . I don't think I am mistaken, but I respect your opinion. What I believe is that people that have issues with NG or Armor post here; and I believe that they represent the exceptions and not the mass of satified users.
As for "Numerous people have issues and don't post here or call Netgear. They may not know about their support options or don't have time." Oh yes, the silent majority!
"There are also a ton of people that don't know they have a problem, i.e. they are only getting 50 Mbps and don't realize it." Humm ... I assume that not everyone is a technical guru, I sure am not. But I would think that the great majority of people would know about a chronic drop in performance; and I'd be willing to bet that the great majority of people would try to find out why. If they don't, perhaps the hardware they bought is overkill for their needs.
Any way, I'm done here. Have a good day.
Orbi-Roc Netflix recommends 25 Mbps to stream UHD, so a lot people won't notice a drop in performance. Gearheads in this forum constantly check speeds and are not indicative of the average Orbi user. I can get close to 500/500 on my iPhone, but if my Orbi dropped to 50 Mbps I don't think I'd notice.
