With host of vulnerabilities being discovered daily with netgear products never going to get their wireless products. My last Netgear access point didnt even have an option to disable remote management via wireless which was always present in Linksys, Dlink and Tplink devices and disabled by default.
I'll start taking them seriously when they start taking security seriously. They just have no understanding of software updates and maintenance. Every single Netgear product I have touched runs ancient and vulnerable versions of OpenSSL.
For a device that sits exposed to the outer internet, Netgear's approach to securing their products is amoral and borderline criminal IMHO.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I"m wrong here but the primary reason the Orbi outperformed was because of the dedicated backhaul channel. Eliminating the dedicated backhaul channel should reduce performance to the same as all other mesh systems. It's too bad they couldn't bring down the price without greatly reducing performance.

You can use the Orbi in bridge mode.Einy0 - Monday, April 3, 2017 - link
I couldn't agree more! With Netgear's security record as of late, I would not use one of their routers if someone gave it to me.

There is still a dedicated backhaul channel in the new kits. Just that it is 2x2 instead of 4x4barbari - Wednesday, April 5, 2017 - link
