Ubiquiti
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Folks who made the switch seem to love Ubiquiti
- We've moved on to Ubiquiti at this point and so far the system appears far more reliable for our use-case (smart home + two WFH). ... The Ubiquiti experience is far better than the Orbi ever was and I don't have any issues.
- Our house moved to Ubiquiti and we haven't looked back (the 960 is still sitting in its box in the basement).
- if you have the ability to do wired backhaul, Ubiquiti is superior IN EVERY WAY to Orbi.
- If I could still return mine, I would in a heartbeat. If you are spending that kind of money, look into a Ubiquiti setup.
Cons
- Ubiquiti doesn't a wireless mesh system with dedicated wifi backhaul, the AP's are great only when wired.
- Parent context: i've messed with ubiquiti in the past and will not recommend to anyone i like!! from personal experience, AVpro was the best not only product wise, but support and warranty as well. they have a 10 year warranty i think...

Long story short, I’m on Ubiquiti fully now.
The one cool thing about the Ubiquiti is it looks like we'll be able to upgrade "One piece at a time."
I was expecting Ubiquiti to be like a victorian novel where a teenager is given $15 and expected to make it on his own... thankfully it's not that bad.
Get rid of Netgear. Go with Ubiquiti. I've never turned back.
