I bought the orbi saturday, had to wait til tuesday with both kids in school to setup. Setup was horrible, had to reset router, modem, uninstall & reinstall app. So after 2 hours got it working. The thing is a beast. Was fast. Plus I got best buy to price match amazon price of 500.
Now the bad part...m after all that, I go to install circle by netgear.... the parental software, but wouldn't install, had to go through a bunch of steps on netgear to get tech support #... parental software not compatible with the orbi..... reset router, disconnected & returned to BB.
Bought the linksys.... got setup in 20 min, named my son's devices & setup the timers. The fun thing with the linksys is now I can shut off the internet to his pc while he is playing fortnite . I really did like the orbi but couldn't keep it without the parental timers.
Just an fyi.... my old router just plain sucked.
