    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    I still have some questions about the orbi-system which the support didn't answer... 1. I can adjust the signal-strength on the router (rbr). Does this affect the signal-strength of the satellites too? Or are the satellites always at 100%? 2. Does an adjustment of the signal-strength affect the...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    I thank you all for this productive discussion and many inputs. The AX86U may be a good wifi-router, but not in my environment and maybe not just as single router. My problem is, that I can't build a "wired" network with wired accesspoint. At the moment I don't want to open all walls to wire my...

    This is bad too, but should not legitimate the bad firmware quaility at netgear. To be honest, for that pricy hardware this quality is not acceptable.

    This floor is just drywalls, but outside there is a lot of noise. I cannot explain this, but why is the orbi backhaul connection flawless from edge to edge?

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    A single router is to weak, I just tested the RT-AX86U. To reduce the noise-level I reduced the signal-strength already to 50%. But orbis software does a really bad job with roaming clients. Furthermore there is a known bug with slow iOS-Devices which remains since months. But as I said, after...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    I wish this were my problem... The connection between the nodes is perfect, full troughput and a reliable connection. But the connection-management, which device connects to which node, is horrible. I have a security camera which connects to the farest node while the router is like 2m away...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    After testing the whole evening, I went back to the orbi. With the orbi-mesh I get better coverage and better speeds. My security-cameras just ping ponged from online/offline even more often. The RT-AX86U can't compete the single RBR750. I really wished it would, but it didn't. A second wouldn't...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Hi again. Hardware arrived today, but after the first steps I am not really happy. Terrace and bedroom just get 0-3 mbit/s. One can barely open a website. For a test I fixed the 2,4 ghz to channel 1. None of my devices found the 2,4ghz wifi and all devices which connected to the 5 ghz net and...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Ok, I am very curious:) Compared to the orbis the functions and options from that asus-gear are huge! A shame that I will not be able to use them. Sadly the AX86U has no modem, so I need to use another router in front of the asus router. Double-NAT is maybe not the smartest option ;) But...

    Okay, I couldn't wait and really really want to get rid of this Orbi-Garbage... I ordered a rt-ax68u... I just need it as access-point. Do I lose some functions while using it just as accesspoint?

    Thank you guys for that detailed discussion! as soon as the RT-AX86U is available on amazon I will give it a try. I am very curious if it can reach all important spots at my house ;)

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Hi and thank you very much for your answer. A single device (tested with avm fritzbox and Orbi RBR750) is not able to provide fast and stable wifi in our home. We have like about 20 active wifi-clients which need to have reliable access to the network. Since day 1 in this house we need to have...

    Looking for Wifi6 Mesh - No Orbi!

    Hi folks, I am happy to have found this forum and have already read several hours. At the moment I am using a Netgear Orbi RBK-753. Since months I am spending countless hours with investigating my network issues. With every firmware-update things get worse and I am totally fed up with their...
