I love Netgear and I think they are the best consumer grade networking products company by far.
But they dropped the ball big time in Orbis firmware updates and asinine support, or lack thereof.
Seriously, read their forums. Thank me later. Rep me now.
I have the Linksys MX8400C from Costco and while it started out great, firmware updates seem to cause more problems than they fix, so I'm hesitant to recommend Linksys. That said, plenty of people complain about Orbi too.

Then I did some debug and found that the routing was the issue, so I grabbed an ER-X and put the velop into bridge mode. Everything has been cake since then, these are great access points but terrible routers.
In the case of very few WiFi 6 devices AND internet speed of less than 600Mbps, I think WiFi 5 (AC networking) still works well for most folks.

This router mesh set for this price is a pass, its extremely slow no matter how you hook it up, one of the slowest of all the mesh kits out there currently. There are better alternatives, like the TP-LINK Triband X68 if you want a 3 pack or like I mentioned earlier the AX5700 from the same brand but a 2 pack.
Also a lot of people who dont know anything about Wifi6E here most of the time when your getting a new wifi 6E router you will be using WIFI 6 and not 6E unless your always in the same room as your router. The frequency is extremely short and does not do well with walls or obstructions, so Wifi 6E is a bust for almost everyone that does not sit right next to their router or is always in the same room. Not even the Wifi 6E mesh kits that currently came out use the 6E for backhaul cause its just not possible so they revert to Wifi 6.
So please enough with the Wifi 6E cause too many of you are way uneducated about it.

That left many of us downgrading the firmware and turning off updates completely or limiting the amount of wifi devices on our systems.
At least Netgear's issues stem from incompetence, not greed. Look up the issues with Linksys.

I did read the forums and decided to give the Orbi a shot knowing that I could return them.
Orbi had a higher 4.7 satisfaction rating vs most other 3 unit mesh systems that range from 4.2 to 4.6 (Atlas is 4.3) - I guess you can't please everybody.
Based on personal experience, I love them. Easy setup. Range, stability, and speed have all been phenomenal based on my personal experience with 3 units and wired backhaul.
I never had the need to use their support.
If you're considering Orbi, they are definitely worth a try. Make your own decision.
Begging for reps? Seriously?

I have tried the older Google mesh systems as well as Orbi. I can say without reservation that I prefer the velop mesh to either of those.
The biggest drawback I see with these is the single SSID limitation and that they don't support VLAN tagging. I get around that by using a Firewalla Gold as my router and using smart switching to manage device groups. This is only really a drawback if these are things that are important to you and you don't know how to go about managing around it.
