I had to replace my old router because it wasn't able to handle all of the connections generated by my smart plugs/switches/speakers. Music would halt and fail perodically and devices would drop offline. This router performs flawlessly. The only issue I hit was that this router combines 2.4 and 5Ghz band frequencies under a single SSID and the router uses the best speed for the connection. My previous router used seperate SSID's for each band so I had to do some minor conversion.

Never Buying Netgear products again
I have been buying Netgear products for 15 years so a few years ago I purchased the ORBI 850 mesh router. Three years later and over $1500 the 850 router went kaput!!! So I purchased an 860 Wi-Fi 6 ORBI router and guess what! It is not compatible with the 850 satellites. Both of them are supposedly Wi-Fi6 both carry the ORBI name but there's no compatibility. Netgear has changed their entire corporate structure where they seem to be looking down their noses at their customers. They are now charging more and giving less I am never purchasing Netgear products again I hope this review finds someone else experiencing the same problem and they will write a review just the same. Time for these holier than now big corporations to eat a little humble pie.
