The WiFi 6E versions cost 50% more.
Yeah I get it, most people would be content with the router unit alone which I am happy to see NETGEAR finally sell by itself now. People purchase an Orbi for the ease of use, else you can get better value from the likes of MikroTik depending on your time and interest level to set up your home network. Others would also look at prosumer class access points too in this price range.

I've been using this with the Netgear Armor on and never noticed any problems. You can easily turn it off in the Orbi app and see if it helps.

Did you try downloading from Steam or Epic? That is when I have my problems. Yeah I found it under the settings/security tab. I'll try it later this evening to see if that is the issue. Customer service says there is no known problem, but if you google "orbi download games from steam crash" you will see multiple people with the same problem. Its pretty weird.
Steam, I don't use Epic much. I'll look more into this, I have the Orbi 960 series here also.

Please let Netgear know, I'll also pass this on to them so they can investigate.

MickorTik is for network engineers, Orbi, eero, ect is for my parents. Ubiquiti is the network engineer vs. easy manage consumer gear like compromise most technology enthusiasts are going to be interested in. Its powerful enough for business use (really anything short of enterprise) and its not really any more complicated than your typical advanced'ish high-end consumer router if you don't want it to be. Just pick the gateway, switch and APs you need and follow the instructions. Its cheaper, more powerful, has an upgrade path, and almost certainly longer support.
