NETGEAR RBKE963-100NAR Wi-Fi 6E System 3-Pack (Open Box)

I am a 25+ year IT professional by trade and this was my first venture into a mesh WiFi setup so I wanted to get the best available at the time. I am almost a year in and overall disappointed. Given the cost, I expected a stable, fast and problem free experience. Orbi has did not deliver that.A few months ago our entire house with 50+ WiFi devices lost connectivity all at once. After some troubleshooting I discovered the Orbi wasn't handing out DHCP addresses. I hard wired to the main Orbi device and all I could get was 169.254.x.x addresses. I had to factory reset the Orbi. That resolved the DHCP issue but even restoring a recent firmware meant going around to many of the smart devices and resetting or reconnecting them.Since getting the Orbi setup I had issues getting some smart devices connected and staying connected. My main computer regularly disconnects and takes repeated attempts to get it back on WiFi. I added an expensive Netgear Nighthawk A7000 USB adapter to solve this problem. It did not. This morning (prompting this review) it connects but doesn't have Internet.In addition to the problems above the Orbi web management portal is limited and slow and the Orbi app is buggy and slow. I haven't been able to access the Orbi remotely (Anywhere Access) in months.TL;DR - The money spent on this Orbi system has not been a good investment in money or time. I would recommend looking elsewhere.
