I recently purchased a Netgear Orbi RBK50 and set it up yesterday. I had two disconnects already with orbi, had to restart the router once and the second time it came back up after 2 minutes. The auto hand off has not been great as some devices that were supposed to connect to the satellite was still connected to the main router. Devices going between 2.4ghz and 5ghz has been good. No issues with that atleast. The speed on my laptop only getting 190-220mbps. Through my ISP i have 300mbps. Just getting bad vibes from the Orbi.
Any one have reccomendations on what I should go for? My house is about 2700 sq ft. I have about 17 devices connected to the wifi and 3 wired. Not sure if I should go with another mesh wifi or go with a traditional tri-band router with an mesh wifi extender like the netgear one. I would prefer to have seperate ssids(2.4ghz and 5ghz) just to make sure everything is going to the right thing(more of me making sure I have more control). Also, kind of looking to speed under 200 if possible, if not that is okay.
I also do not have ethernet ports around the house.
Thanks in advanced!
