Hi all

Am thinking about getting the Netgear Orbi system. Whilst the SH3 signal reaches the top floor of my house (3 story) the speed is not very good at all in comparison to the speeds on the ground and 1st floors. I have tried extenders etc but they don't increase the speed much. Unfortunately, Powerlines won't work on the top floor as it's a loft conversion and on a different circuit.

So, was wondering if anyone else has used Orbi with Virginmedia and SH3? I assume I would have to put the SH3 in modem mode and then attach the Orbi that way? Are there any other hints/tips/pitfalls I should be looking out for?
