Review on πŸ“Ά NETGEAR Orbi Home Whole Home Mesh WiFi System - Tri-band Router with 2,500sqft Coverage, AC3000 (RBR50) by Sean Sheppard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

1st gen product, 1st gen issues

Bought after mostly glowing reviews. And it's not bad, you see. But there were many problems. First, my phone - Galaxy S8 - could not support the signal. Wifi dropped out almost every 10 minutes. This lasted over 2 months - I ended up switching to LTE on my phone only. Second, WiFi range seems to have decreased recently - I'm having occasional dropouts on an iPad in the master bedroom, which is on the same floor and less than 50 feet away. This only started recently. I want to like the product, but I recommend waiting for a few more firmware updates.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
