Beyond time to get that weak link in the setup updated... 😕

Check out the gl.inet Flint 2 (or Flint 3) incredible hardware

You might be able to save the router by using a Raspberry Pi as a router/dhcp server and putting the Netgear Orbi in bridge mode?

(Obviously doesn’t need to be a Raspberry Pi… old Mac mini works also… just thinking of a way to avoid a whole new conversion of your home network).

Talk me out of it (somebody!). I've been using Netgear Orbi for the mesh coverage but from a management perspective it's... well, trash for what I want to be doing.

Anyway, it's going to have to wait for a bit longer.

What do you think you are going to replace it with? I kind of need to do the same thing
