Had mine since spring last year - I had some early instability issues with iPhones which were solved fairly quickly and was hit by the recent google bugs, also easily solved.
Other than that, our system has been rock solid. I'm running the latest 2.1 firmware. I work from home most days and run remote desktops via VPN via wifi so I would know pretty much instantly if the network was lost. We have lots of roaming going on and I can't say I see any major issues. We have occasional 4k multicast traffic running over ethernet and 3 kids who appear to be constantly running Netflix on wifi all over the house.. Again no major issues.
So, undoubtedly issues exist for some users, however, my point is that your mileage might vary. I am *currently* very happy with the Orbi.
