Unreliable WiFi
on February 21, 2025
Posted by: FilipEr
Bought these 3 months ago, and it’s been 3 months of constant issues! Smart home devices won’t stay connected. iPhone 15 & 16s don’t play well with these and drop WiFi constantly when in room next to router (seems to be an issue with iPhones that use WiFi 6e/7). And now my Orbi has decided to just stop broadcasting any WiFi several times a day so all devices on my entire network lose access until I can unplug them. Will be the last NetGear/Orbi product I ever buy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I converted from an outdated Orbi mesh system. This new Orbi Wi-Fi 7 mesh system was easy to install and has great coverage!

It keeps dropping connections every hour and the speeds are horrid using the lan ports. I think I got a dud and returning this is going to be a nightmare.

Verified Purchase:Yes
When it works, the speed is pretty decent, however my satellite which is located between 30-40 feet away from the router, keeps losing connection. I am trying a last ditch effort to get it configured correctly, and am working wiht support, but at this point I am highly considering returning this and going back to renting a gateway from my ISP

Hi NatM,

Please reach out to us with your contact information along with your case number and a copy of your review to netgearteam@netgear.com, and we will be happy to help you.
I purchased 3 Netgear routers in 2 years. They all failed. The last one failed in two weeks. Failed even after support had me do a factory reset.
The router name would advertise for a connection, but would not connect. Ie worked for two weeks, then completely failed!!! Spent hours trying to get it to work again.
I’ve never had a problem with a Netgear switch. The routers are a completely different story. They have been completely unreliable. The first two only lasted until the warranty expired. I had to eat the cost.
I give it one star only because zero stars are not an option.

..bought this set to replace 5yr old Orbi 300s.. The new set just would not connect to 2 of my 5 devices even after several attempts.. and my 300s reconnected every time.. so we returned the new set and received full refund on 6 days.
