If you’re an app-bases user, the Deco is more robust than Orbi. I haven’t tested either, but your assessment on their hardware is correct.

Love reading your reviews and articles. Do you know how the Orbi 770 compares to the TP-link Deco BE11000? According to the Netgear website the 770 is an 11 Gbps Tri-Band BE11000 (5,760 + 4,320 + 688Mbps) and the Deco is also 11 Gbps Tri-Band 5764 Mbps (6 GHz) + 4324 Mbps (5 GHz) + 688 Mbps (2.4 GHz). So they seem very similar. They also only have 2.5 Gbps ports.
The reason I ask is because I own and have owned Orbi systems and for the most part, they are really reliable. I’ve never tried the Decos but their prices are hard to beat. Specially the BE11000 ($499.99 for 3-pack) at Costco. Thanks!

Netgear first claimed Easy Mesh for the RS700S which has so far not supported that. The company is often full of misleading claims, I’d not hold my breath.

I noticed that it says No for mesh ready for both the RS300 and RS700S instead of saying maybe available with a firmware update. I recently bought the RS700S, your review helped my choice, I remember in the review it saying Netgear plans on adding Easy Mesh to it. Do you know if Netgear no longer plans to add that feature? I see that MLO is mentioned as a yes in this article for both Nighthawks but I thought that it is not on the RS700S yet, I even noticed that I don’t see that feature listed in the tech specs for it like it used to be- now the closest is MU-MIMO. Thank you for asking Netgear about AFC as I hope it comes to the RS700S. Thank you.
