4, so it's easy to fight. And that NetGear Armor will scan those devices. They come in and you can allocate them per person. You can have screen time allocated to your kids

 So, the question is $2,799. Is it worth it? Now let's look here. We're getting four ethernet ports on the back of the router. We're getting four on the satellite and we're getting four on the other satellite

 But this one is a system that's going to outlast me for a long time, I reckon. The NITGEAR Orbi Wi-Fi 6E devices, the 9 series, you can tell the RBK 9 series. So, 9, 5, 3, there's all different code names, but essentially the 9 series is the Wi-Fi 6E, and you've got your 8 series and different down the line. There's a lot of options at every price bracket, and there's also some great prices on even last year's Wi-Fi 6E availability

Netgear Orbi WiFi 6E (RBKE963) review - the ultimate WiFi for your home

  2. It is tempting to reuse the SSID and password of your prior router. Don't. You'll likely need to reset and reconnect most of your devices anyway

 ft. home. But it isn't magic. You can't just look at your home's square footage and buy the number of satellites based on that

 printers that have to be configured through your PC), you may be in for hours of frustration unless you are willing to get new printers or connect the printers to the Orbi by USB  The most important thing to realize with Orbi is that it does not support two separate WiFi bands. This matters because if you have older wifi devices that do not work on 5 ghz bands, you will not be able to set up a dedicated 2.4ghz band. E

 First I I had to move the router to where the DSL comes in, which is on one end of my home on the ground level. I didn't want to do a lot of rewiring, but with the router plus two satellites, it did leave a dead spot on ground floor on the other end of house. I had to move my home security hub to a new location and I still have a dead spot in the corner at one end of the ground floor. I thought about buying an add-on satellite, but the regular Orbi add on is about 250 and the plug in is around 190 USD

After one year still good, but read before buying if you have older devices and printers

My last few routers have all been Asus routers, I tend to by the biggest one I can get to get coverage in all areas of my home. My old Asus RT-AC87U router is located in my man cave which is in the basement of my ranch house and all the way at one end of the house. Because of this placement it makes getting a good strong signal upstairs and at the other end of the house a little difficult. I’ve tried various methods to extend the wifi in the past including using power line adapters and wifi repeaters, they’ve always been a little flaky so I always try and just buy a big router instead

 I never got the email so I just closed the window and went back to the main Orbi admin page.  Both the satellite and main router had pretty old firmware versions so I went to the firmware update page, it detected new firmware for the router but was stuck on “Please wait” while checking for new firmware on the satellite, because of this the update buttons wouldn’t work either. I waited about 10 minutes and it was still stuck, I tried again and the same thing happened, finally I gave up and called Netgear’s support.  Trying to navigate to NetGear’s support was another fun challenge, they seem to hide any way to contact phone support on their main website

 – Improves the firmware upgrade process. – Continuous improvement in wireless connection stability 1.8.0

8.0.6 – Fixes bugs and security issues. – Supports Korea wireless region  Now that they have finally starting to pay attention to some of the serious issues that Orbi has had they have apparently tried to fix some things and broke other things

Was a great device until they released the 1.12.0.18 update which caused major disconnect issues

As the title says, I'm getting ready to ditch my Ubiquiti Unifi setup. (As the years have gone on, the Unifi line's become more unstable, and [the recent security debacle](https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/mgm4o7/whistleblower_ubiquiti_breach_catastrophic_krebs/) has pushed me over the edge.)

I'm looking at a RT2600ac + MR2200ac, plus I'll have to get a switch of some kind with at least half a dozen ports. I assume I'll just get a dumb switch, but not sure.

It seems as though there's some overlap between the capabilities of DSM and SHM. Anyone here have both kinds of devices and can provide some recommendations in regards to an optimal setup?

<p>Edit: looks like VLANs aren&#39;t supported... that&#39;s a core part of my current setup to segment my IoT devices from the rest of my LAN... darn.</p>

<p>Second edit: to the points about this is a &quot;downgrade&quot; - I do not need the full suite of capabilities that the Unifi line offers, really. This is for home; I just need the ability to have a stable network with mesh capabilities, and some basic security for IoT devices. I&#39;d do the Amazon eero or Google Mesh product lines if privacy wasn&#39;t a concern for me with those brands.
I will take a (relatively) slower max throughput and stability with another product line over the instability and security issues that Ubiquiti continues to exhibit.</p>
</div>

Thinking about ditching Ubiquiti for Synology's wifi solution. I already have a Syno NAS, anything I need to consider?

 Make it work first, THEN get the users to register. Capiche?  2) The firmware update appears to be broken. The automatic checks come back with "service unreachable" -- really, Netgear, it's your OWN auto-update service! -- and the manual updates REFUSE to recognize their own firmware ZIP files as valid. And yes, I tried to apply the satellite firmware update first, and yes it was the latest, and yes the file was good, and yes I followed the steps in your release notes, and yes I tried multiple times

 I've been through one wifi router after another, including Linksys, Netgear, and most recently the Apple AirPort Extreme, but none of them would provide me adequate signal even in the next room.  Enter Orbi. WHOA. I picked up the two unit system (one router and one satellite), and once I got it working, the results were ridiculously amazing

HOLY CATS! This thing SMOKES, as in it's blazing fast and punches a wifi signal through all my walls, pipes, plaster, counters, cables and whatnot like they're hardly even there. I live in an apartment built in the 1930's, complete with slat-plaster walls, nice thick doors, and all the heavy construction techniques of the time. I've been through one wifi router after another, including Linksys, Netgear, and most recently the Apple AirPort Extreme, but none of them would provide me adequate signal even in the next room.  Enter Orbi

The Orbi absolutely CRUSHES every router I've ever owned. Period. (But the firmware update process appears to be broken.)

I'm looking to switch to a mesh router system.  I have 4 laptops running most of the day and about 25 total connected devices.  My house is 2 floors (equal size), about 2200 sq feet total.  My son plays basic computer games and streams TikTok, we all stream TV (Prime, Youtube TV, etc).  I'm looking for something that can handle the traffic, handle phones moving from one area of the house to the next, is reliable, has some basic parental controls, etc.

The main reason I am asking here is because when I read reviews for most of the systems out there, they are terrible.  So, I'm looking for some advice here on what your experience is with some of the systems out there and if they actually do what they are supposed to and do it well.

Best Home Mesh Router System?

 In response to this, I added a web site blacklist to my previous router, which blocked most ads from appearing on our devices. The Orbi RBK50 running software version 2.3.5

 Depending on the day and how heavily our household's wifi users access the internet, Pi-hole blocks 3.5% to 6% of RBK50's queries. A quarter to a third of all DNS queries are cached, which reduces DNS lookup times anywhere from 30ms to 220ms down to 2ms or less. The time it took me to configure Pi-hole will be probably be saved in faster internet experiences by our household users in a couple of months

 I continue to use a Web browser to check log files and change configurations. I do not know if there is a later version of the Orbi app that fixes the problems I mentioned in my 2019 review, and do not find the app necessary. I continue to use pi-hole as the DNS server for the Orbi, which blocks ads for all devices connected to my network.

 I will update this review as time passes because some Amazon buyers report premature deaths of the Orbi.  APRIL 2022 UPDATE: The base and satellite continue to operate reliably. I continue to use a Web browser to check log files and change configurations. I do not know if there is a later version of the Orbi app that fixes the problems I mentioned in my 2019 review, and do not find the app necessary

 A quarter to a third of all DNS queries are cached, which reduces DNS lookup times anywhere from 30ms to 220ms down to 2ms or less. The time it took me to configure Pi-hole will be probably be saved in faster internet experiences by our household users in a couple of months. Pi-hole is set and forget. Household client devices are not aware of P-hole, did not require any reconfiguration to use it, and any new devices we connect in the future will have ads blocked automatically

RBK50 so far so good, except for the app

Ok, I know this subject is like beating a dead horse, but I cannot find a consensus on what the best home mesh wifi system. New systems are coming out every few months, so I wanted to ask what everyone's opinion is as of 2021.

I have been using Google Wifi since 2019, and it is a pos. I have Spectrum 200mbps, and without wired ethernet backhaul, I only got 10-15mbps with random drops to 2mbps. With wired backhaul, I get about 100mbps, but the connection drops randomly. When scrolling through instagram, photos/stories will suddenly stop loading. Watching YouTube/netflix is a nightmare because videos will stall and then drop down to 240p. Direct ethernet plugged into the Spectrum modem has no problem. Google does not recognize this as an issue, and I'm fed up.

Every review site seems to have a different recommendation. Wirecutter is one of the few with actual tests and graphs, and their current recommendation is ASUS which has the fastest speeds and lowest latency. However, basically no other site recommends ASUS and instead recommends Netgear Orbi, Google Nest, Linksys Velop, etc.

Someone please help me escape this dreaded wifi nightmare. 

Details/requirements:

- Tall &amp; narrow 1600 sqft, 3 floor townhouse
- Ethernet drops in most rooms
- Should have highest speeds and lowest latency
- Seamless transitioning from station to station (not sure how dependent this is on mesh system vs device, but I do not want my iPhone to be stuck connected on the farthest AP when I walk down the stairs. Google Wifi is terrible at this)
- Preferably have dedicated wireless backhaul just in case I need to put a unit in a place without a ethernet drop.
- 1-2 additional ethernet ports on some endpoints for connecting game consoles, TV, smart device hub, etc.
- Ideally future proof for Wifi 6/gigabit, if not exorbitantly expensive. I would consider upgrading my internet speed only after my wifi system is actually stable.
- NO GOOGLE
