Orbi AC3000 will be End Of Service within 45 Days

I currently use a set of Orbi RBR660 and satellites. While they work well, I absolutely hate the Netgear/Orbi interface and account systems. Paying the small premium for Ubiquiti next time for sure. I have loved getting to set them up for clients of mine and I recommend it to anyone I can.

After a full hardware failure of our current router —and downgrading to our past one— my parents have accepted the need for an upgrade. What routers do you guys run? Any suggestions?

I would do a plug in play mesh system like an Eero or a netgear orbi.

Metrocom se papeó a Tigo y Más Móvil

El router que +móvil me dió francamente es paupérrimo. Una vaina de Sercomm que ni me daba la velocidad contratada. Qué diferencia al poner mi Netgear Orbi mesh. Y la vaina con +móvil fibra es que uno mismo tiene que averiguar cómo colocar la configuración en el router de uno, porque no es disque so

Satellite can't search for new firmware

Plz recommend between Orbi 870, 970 or Eero Max 7

No, in fact wired back-haul from main to satellite is always recommended (faster connection, less latency, doesn't cause congestion or additional WiFi networks to be spawned etc), your mesh WiFi will still work if it's using WiFi back-haul, but you need to be careful with positioning of the satellit

Moving to a place where Cox internet is the best option. Need recommendations to make the best out of this situation.

I had Cox for over a decade in Irvine. I never had a problem with spotty connection or outages. I had huge problems with pricing and customer service. Got tired of having to do the dog and pony show every 12 months to get put on the new promotion to prevent huge price increases. I moved on to Google

Possible Orbi RBR50 issues. Considering upgrading.

I’ve been using an RBR50 with two satellites for about 5 years, the Netgear firmware would have the wifi go down randomly and weird glitches. In searching for other firmware I came across Voxel’s firmware which runs latest versions of individual code on the router and opens up to additional function

Recommendations on WiFi mesh for old building?

I use TP-Link Deco units, and they work fine. A mate has Netgear Orbi units and they work well too in his old house but the units were too large for my liking. The Deco app is pretty good and has the usual features you would expect - guest wifi, device blocking etc and you can connect wired devices
