All the ISP's I can choose from give you a choice to use your own gear. I have already a fiber box installed, and will just connect a router to it. To be honest, 300 would be enough for me, but if I can get 1gb for the same price, I'm thinking why not.... Edit: I think I've read something about...

I'll probably start with 1gb. It's open fiber so I can freely choose ISP. Have quite a few to choose from and almost everyone will give you half price for up to a year as a first time customer... I can change ISP every year and try them out with the discount, so I'll probably do that for a...

Yeah, even if it's a small percentage having problems, the problems are so severe... I mean, dropping internet and losing sync with satellites. What a nightmare! At the end of the day I just want stable, reliable WiFi with decent speed/performance. I'd like to get it running and be able to leave...

Good to hear from someone who actually used both in a real environment. I've been thinking that maybe the reason Orbi has so many complaints is because so many are sold. That basically all mesh systems has issues being a new technique. But their forum is completely filled with unhappy threads so...

I think it might be an interesting product. A little bit put-off by the 2.4 GHz performance though... But reading the amount of threads/posts over at Netgear Orbi forum with people experiencing dropouts and other problems, with no sign of Netgear recognizing it, is more serious...

A follow-up review to see if performance improves would be very interesting...

Really? So you don't need to login with your Asus account credentials in each device you use to change settings?

I hope so, but then i get slightly discouraged by threads like this: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Major-Failures-After-Firmware-2-0-0-74-Upgrade/td-p/1387948

Well that's something anyway... But I can't help feeling a bit depressed when support is considered pretty good because they actually respond? It's really hard to get qualified help, that goes for many products. You just give up calling when you've been thru 3-4 people, everyone asking if you...

Sounds like really annoying stuff? Having to turn off built in features as a fix for problems is not satisfactory. How's Asus support? One thing I've seen regarding Netgear is that they have 90 days support, after that you need to pay. You'd think a company should step up and acknowledge flaws...

Sounds great! Many video reviews I've seen seem to conclude the Orbi has both great range/speed and is probably the best among these new WiFi systems regarding this. I like the dedicated backhaul channel and those extra lan-ports aswell... If there were fewer complaints by long time users I'd...

Yeah, of course, the unhappy are probably far more likely to post on forums, expressing their feelings and searching for help. I totally understand that, but I get a little hesitant because from what I read over there many have the system working fine, and then after a update problems start to...

Very interesting to hear if you get a reply... Can't find much about these online, neither user or professional reviews. Amazon has some user reviews, which are not very flattering. It's a shame, I really like the fact they can easily be wallmounted and the specs seem ok.... In theory. Orbi has...

Yeah, it's really quiet about these, why is that? On Asus own forum nothing is going on either... I'm curious to find out if the latest firmware helped at all. I'm putting in a new WiFi-system at home. Too bad these don't seem to hold up. The orbi gets glowing reviews, but their forum is full of...
