    Thinking of upgrading with a new computer coming with WiFi 6 compliance
    (as well as the iPhone 11 and 1 iPad).

    Recommendations?

    at this point, asus.

    synology is much better, however, they don't currently have wifi 6,
    which makes it not a contender at this time.

    My Orbi mesh has been rock solid.

    Known issues that others and I ran into Orbi (mine is RBK753S-100NAS (WiFi 6; AX4200)):
    1. Autoupgrade in background whenever it wants. Annoying when using the network and Internet! No way to disable it.
    2. Guest wifi loves to disconnect.

    Has not been a problem, updates are fast, and it is a feature to have up-to-date firmware that is patched against the latest crap.

    Um.. no. Not at all.

    No such issue here with my CBR750 & RBS750. Updates don't get installed
    unless I log into the router admin interface and install them. It lets
    me know when they are available when I log into the admin interface.

    2. Guest wifi loves to disconnect.

    Don't use it on mine, so I can't comment.

    I would have to check when updates have happened. I can say I have not

    The last upgrade happened right after midnight PDT when I was online! I
    was wondering why I lost LAN and Internet connections, and saw my Orbi's
    lights on.
