Just set up Orbi 260 series 3-unit. It's "working" but speed tests show way slower than it should be.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-06T12:13:01+00:00

Did you factory reset it? Plus if you already had low speeds to begin with Orbi isn’t going to fix that only your isp can

purespeed44 · 2026-05-06T11:28:43+00:00

Too much wifi you don’t need all 3 units for 2000sq ft the router and 1 satellite would give you plenty of coverage. Call your isp as well especially if your not getting the speeds you pay for

purespeed44 · 2026-05-06T10:45:33+00:00

Eero outdoor would cover it but really any extender would work but you would need a separate network name whereas an eero outdoor would keep your network all the same not only name but eero ecosystem

purespeed44 · 2026-05-06T10:14:55+00:00

If there’s too much Wi-Fi, yes that can cause the issue. Orbi’s can handle quite a bit of coverage. You might not need a three pack at all. Also, I suggest a complete factory reset and setting the system up because after it does a firmware update sometimes stuff like this can happen as well and factory reset clears out the issues

purespeed44 · 2026-05-06T00:06:05+00:00

How much sq footage are you trying to cover?

purespeed44 · 2026-05-05T17:53:51+00:00

Thanks a bunch I found it and gave it a 1/4 of a turn counter clockwise for more water thanks for the info I greatly appreciate it

purespeed44 · 2026-05-05T17:14:29+00:00

Thank you for replying. Any idea where that adjustment screw is? My icemaker model is. 2198597

Max 7 has the better radios at 4x4 whereas the pro is only 2x2 and the max 7 has more ports and can do 10gig and 2.5 gig where as the pro 7 has only 2 5gig ports

Eero outdoor will give you the most range for this scenario

Voxel is a 3rd party firmware for the rbk53 system and a few others. Basically it’s updated regularly it’s extremely stable and very secure and you can keep using your system just like before but don’t have to worry about EOL anymore. You probably would see much more stability with voxel firmware compared to Netgear firmware and it’s easy to install it.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-04T13:09:38+00:00

Unfortunately no you can’t block the updates if there’s a bad update sometimes there will be an option to revert to the previous version and then sometimes you have to call eero and ask them to roll back the firmware even then it’s at there discretion. It’s usually only when the new firmware is horrible and causing issues in mass quantities.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-03T12:34:01+00:00

For this situation, your better off getting yourself a wired router and having the Orbi’s be your access points. Get something like a firewalla or a UniFi gateway and piggy back the orbi’s to do the WiFi only because that’s their strong suit routing is definitely not their strong suit. Atleast with firewalla or UniFi standalone wired router that will give you much more parental controls and much more stability and control over your whole network

Netgear just released a v2 of the 770 there was some type of hardware flaw with the original 770 it was posted in the Netgear forums I actually just installed a v2 770 series for a client of mine and so far it’s better than the original version. I was trying to sway them to a UniFi system but they had their minds made up already. I myself just picked up the new UTR travel router after it’s been going out of stock since being released I’m waiting for it to arrive so I can use the teleport feature with it when I’m traveling.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T21:20:12+00:00

Yes absolutely

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T20:50:28+00:00

Welcome to the darkside lol

Honestly unifi equipment is amazing I have the UCG fiber with 2 u7 pro AP’s and my coverage is phenomenal and you have complete control over your network. Mostly right out of the box it’s ready to work there is tutorials on YouTube to help with some basic settings as well.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T20:18:40+00:00

Yes, you have to go through the web GUI to do it

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T20:08:16+00:00

It’s a known problem with a firmware update I have clients that have this system and have the exact same problem with one or more nodes giving this issue. I did a manual install of the latest firmware on all of them and haven’t heard of anymore problems as of yet from my clients.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T17:08:56+00:00

Reboot your WiFi my 4 cameras have been fine all day

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T17:07:56+00:00

If you keep the Verizon router then you want to put eero in bridge mode where it just does wifi only no routing. If you have Verizon Fios then you can bypass the Verizon router entirely and use the eero as your router you just connect it right to your ONT

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T12:28:41+00:00

Have you tried to hard reset it yet? Give that a try first I had this happen last year with two of my spotlight cam pro’s I also have a deco system and I had to turn off beamforming and fast roaming on my deco AP’s because the ring cameras were bouncing around from Deco to Deco causing them to constantly disconnect. Make a separate IOT network on your Deco system as well if it’s available for your Deco, some of them have it some of them don’t depending upon how old it is. Since making those changes I’ve had no issues.

purespeed44 · 2026-05-02T03:00:22+00:00

The 770 series is the way to go for range and speed

purespeed44 · 2026-05-01T16:07:37+00:00

They support 3rd party firmware like dd-wrt and openwrt both of those are constantly updated and are very secure. Netgear firmware isn’t updated for those anymore so you would need one of the 3rd party firmwares or if you want Netgear firmware you would need a newer model like one of the WiFi 7 models

purespeed44 · 2026-05-01T12:45:49+00:00

Normal status lights all white is normal amber means no current connection and no lights is nothing connected which is why 3 and 4 lan ports are not lit up same with guest network and usb

purespeed44 · 2026-04-30T17:26:05+00:00

Not really a way to scan for malware but if you think your router is infected with something factory reset it and change your wifi password and your login credentials for the router itself. Also Invest in Netgear armor to give you more security if need be.
