zztop911 1,609 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) My wifi in the master bedroom has never been stellar and for the last two weeks it's been "doo doo pee pee caca"! One of the techs made some changes, but evidently they didn't stick. Tiring of the BS and wanting to expand wifi into my shop, I picked of an Netgear Orbi RBK30 Tri-Band WiFi System. https://www.netgear.com/about/press-releases/2017/ORBI-TRI-BAND-WIFI-SYSTEMS.aspx It's a super easy set up, used the app on my phone, and best of all, it solved my connection problems and I have a very strong signal in my METAL shop. Connection rates in the bedroom are the same as being wired on my laptop, phone and PS4. Connection rate in the shop are only slightly degraded. I currently still have my living room TV, PS4 and Dish receiver connected to the IP's DSL/ADSL modem's LAN, but the Orbi has 3 ports available for it's own LAN. I don't currently have any reason to be able to "see" those devises on my new wifi network. I may rip a bunch of CDs and put them on a media server to listen to in the shop or movies if I put a smart TV in the shop. I think this was money very well spent and leaves more opportunities for future expansion. Edited August 16, 2017 by zztop911 3 1 Quote I only grow in living soil! Because Fat Buds Matter!

Fooking 34 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I've been looking at something similar. Google wifi. Same idea...Mesh wifi system. Waiting for boxing day sales though...$400+ at regular price is a little hard to swallow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zztop911 1,609 Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 I caught the two unit model on sale and Best Buy price matched.I also had a $35 Rewards cupon I used. It was very reasonable. It hasn't missed a beat so far! 1 Quote I only grow in living soil! Because Fat Buds Matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zztop911 1,609 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Update: It's been over one year since I bought this Orbi system and the performance has been absolutely flawless! I haven't had to reboot the system. I have moved either unit a couple of times while rearranging things and they just turn back on and reset themselves with no input from me. This system has been a great buy! 1 Quote I only grow in living soil! Because Fat Buds Matter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
