    Gripe: a terrible recommendation from this site

    Thank you for all of the points made. Have any of you switched to the beta firmware and found that the dropping connectivity issues are gone? How about the terrible throughput of the satellite?

    Gripe: a terrible recommendation from this site

    Nighthawk R6700 And/or Orbi RBK50

    Thanks for your reply! Is the orbi directional in anyway? I was thinking of putting it in the Attic without ethernet because there are no walls in the Attic the two units would be looking at each other down the length of the house and therefore have great backhaul I suppose... but should I point...
