The Orbi 370 is working fine so far. However, I have not been able to get the Orbi app to work with the system. It says I have no internet when obviously I do. I did the install manually online.
It has been over a week and I am still unable to get my Century link router to connect to Orbi. My old Orbi RB50 connected right away. I will try for one more week the. I will give up and return it. I have tried using the iPhone app and manually on the computer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are sorry to hear that you are having a difficult experience with installing and connecting your RBE373 and are planning to return it. When experiencing trouble installing we recommend a few steps including performing a full power cycle for both your Century Link device as well as Orbi RBE373 making sure to unplug the ethernet cable between the due during this power cycle.

Easy setup, replacing an older Orbi system that reached end of life. Much more stable than the old system with faster downloads of media files and more reliable service from the smart devices in my home.
Netgear support did an excellent job on helping me get upgraded to ORBI 7. I currently was using an ORBI version that is no longer supported. The surprise was it no longer had 2 slots for ethernet hard wire connections. So, I had to also buy a POE switch. The tough part is all the things you have to connect to again. And 4 out of the 14 items I had to connect to required replacements. It relates to 2.4 G vs 5.G. The video doorbell, Flo Moen detectors, and the KASA plugs required replacement. The scanner didn't require a replacement but now can't scan wirelessly, so will be replacing it too.
I'm not sure why I "upgraded." My Orbi 6 was WAY faster and more reliable than the 7. Granted, the 6 was starting to have lots of bugs and crashes, which is why I decided to switch. So far, I am very unimpressed.
