4000 sq ft home

Base Station and three satellites connected to AT&T fiber. Currently have 52 devices connected. Multiple iPhones, iPads, security cameras, video doorbells, apple home kit, and 4 TVs. ORBI makes it all work.

Perfect

I have had very stable internet even through the COVID years. Thinking about upgrading soon to the newer technology netgear offers

Speed test often fails

The recent updates have ruined the speed test function. It often fails and sometimes says it can’t find the router.

Buy Unifi over Orbi; Ads inside this App

Purchase Unifi products instead. I’ve paid hundreds of dollars to Netgear for the Orbi devices, yet when I launch the app, I’m getting advertisements for their stupid Armor software. What nonsense!! Those ads do NOT serve the customer, just the manufacturer to sell more instead of excelling at what was already sold.

New 770 routers really suck

Set up of the routers is not as good as on the 670 routers. Everything was very difficult. The IP address settings were incorrect, and the satellites are not taking the highest SSRI of the devices to them. Everything still connected to the main router, which is farther away than the satellites.
