A Costly Mistake - Home and Mesh WiFi Systems

This router is the worst. A heartbreaking and costly mistake. WiFi disappeared, sometimes strong WiFi and then either very weak or no WiFi at all. Despite the fact that the bars show a strong signal. Signal to laptops, desktops, and the Roku is okay (stable, at full speed), but Wi-Fi to any Apple device, Echo Dot, and plugged-in outlets is an absolute nightmare. We tried to get it working. We've followed the tips and advice recommended on the web, but this is just a terrible router. We upgraded our Wi-Fi to 1G and foolishly followed their advice to buy a brand new router system, specifically this one, so the house can enjoy our new speeds. To be honest the previous 100MB was better on our old router because at least we had constant WiFi. When we checked whether we wanted to return this junk, we found that the return period was only 30 days, which is too late for us. $500 down the drain. Save yourself heartache and avoid this router.

Pros
  • Installs in minutes with the Orbi app; Easily manage Wi-Fi settings, test internet speed and track data usage
Cons
  • Hard to say
