1. Netgear forces you to type your password during account creation, making password generators hard to use.
2. You have the option of changing the admin username during setup, but the app forces your to log in as 'admin', so you can't use the app without changing the username back to 'admin'.
3. Getting the satellite to connect was troublesome. I don't remember if i was able to get it connected before giving up.
4. The app kept flipping back to the 'searching for device' screen, which basically breaks any activity you were doing.
If you read the orbi subreddit, these and more seem to be common issue, and new and exciting issues are added with every firmware update.
Maybe once everything is working it's an ok router, after an hour or two of toying with it I decided to not risk it and return it.

Now at this price I would recommend this unit, however at original price I would recommend something else if you want true triband functionality
