    Keep or Sell a1521 and a1470 with Orbi setup?

    Like the title explains, I actually got my hands on a a1521 basestation and a1470 2tb time capsule. I also am using orbi with 2 satellites, and I'm wondering should I keep or sell the base station and/or time capsule, or is there a way to implement it with what I have? I'm leaning more towards...

    Orbi Disconnecting Multiple Times a Day

    I have an Orbi system. It is on the latest update. I use fibre with no username/password or anything, it just works. I did drop my router before having these issues, but I also changed ISP at the same time. The drop was only a few inches and everything seemed fine. I was using it in AP mode...

    Single Router (Asus86U/NG7800 vs Orbi)

    Hi, I currently have an Asus AC66U and it's becoming a bit flaky with disconnecting clients and intermittently disappearing SSIDs. I moved not too long ago into a 3 story house with stud walls/plasterboard. I had expected to upgrade immediately, but I had reasonable wifi in all rooms on...

    DC current requirements for RBS20 and RBR20

    I just installed an Orbi router and two sats, mostly to reduce RFI that my old cobbled together system of wifi, MOCA adapters and ethernet was generating. The Orbi boxes come with 12VDC, 1.5A switched mode wall warts that I would like to replace with linear (RF quiet) power supplies. Here's...

    AiMesh or Orbi/Amplifi HD

    Hello everyone, I currently have an ASUS AC68U which gives pretty much full coverage to my whole home, but I have experienced instability in my living room TV when I have 10+ clients connected and it is the furthest device I have located from where the router is. I am unable to use an ethernet...

    Aimesh - Did anyone give up?

    Hi, Just out of curiosity - did anyone decide to give up on their Aimesh endeavors and go all in on something else such as Orbi, Google Wifi or similar? If so, did that improve things? I am in Aimesh hell with daily connectivity issues where I need to reboot the master node to solve things...

    Orbi - the bandwidth annihilator

    Interesting... reviews on the Main Site - Orbi's are the shizzle... A comment from that review... When I first got NETGEAR's pitch for Orbi, I expressed concern about its exclusive use of 5 GHz for backhaul. But NETGEAR assured me they had done their homework and that the results would be...

    Should I get the router I really want or build a mesh network? Looking for advice...

    Hi everyone, I'm a bandwidth nerd, and I really geek out over bandwidth graphs and data usage stats. I want to see real-time and historical data usage for the WAN and each device on the network. This has led me to the Synology RT2600ac. From my research, it seems to offer the best network...
