Are you talking about the cheap AC1200 line that looks like little cubes? The newest Orbi is WiFi 6 and looks similar to the original Orbi profile but with a bit more color.

Oh, yeah I'm talking about the new cheap cube line that was announced. The WiFi6 one was announced a month ago I think.

I got one camera. It was wonky at first, but I got it working. So far so good after a few months. It's probably time to charge it.

got another invite for the EAX80 (wifi6 mesh extender). Hope I get in. It would compliment the RAX200 I'm currently reviewing.

I got the same invite, but I'll probably pass on it. I certainly don't need it with the RAX200.

...on second thought, its got 4 ethernet ports so I can hook all my home theater stuff through it!

My house has terrible wifi coverage. The RAX200 is the first router that has actually good coverage. I get amazing speeds too. The extender will finish off the even more remote portions of the house.

My only hesitation right now not to rip out my existing Ubiquiti is that Ubiquiti is solid. It never fails. All of my old asus/netgear type of equipment always require reboots every once in a while. Going to run both for a while and see how it holds up.

I've had a netgear router that I got through this program for years without needing a reboot

beats me. I've used multitudes including the best one at the time through this netgear program. Every few weeks have to either reboot the router or the cable modem. No idea how any of it is related to each other and we don't do anything weird with the router.

Ever since moving to ubiquiti, network never goes down. Cable modem never needs to be rebooted. Only time network is down is an actual internet service outage.

Howdy folks, OP here. So glad that this thread is still going and people are still getting some value out of it.

I have a quick update and an ask...

I finished up my career at Netgear last December and started my own Strategy Consulting firm focusing on, you guessed it, helping brands with Amazon.

I'm now helping several different companies in different spaces. Right now, it's batteries, automotive accessories, telecom and electrical tools and packaged meats.

All of these companies could use a little help getting their products off the ground. If I could get the approvals to set up some promo codes, how many of you would be interested in getting some discounted stuff?

Thanks everyone!

Uh, yep! Count me in for sure. I haven't done any of the netgear reviews in a couple of years but always enjoyed trying out gear that I wasn't 100% familiar with.
