I tried to work with an Orbi setup but the configuration was locked up against it's own config controls.. i.e. broken. It uses _All_ of the top and bottom of the 5 Ghz spectrum and no way to move it's usage around.

Netgear Orbi does that with 4x4 MU-MIMO and multiple radios. Spendy though.

    I agree with you....  I don't know how many times I've had to
    explain to people why mesh doesn't work well.  And have seen
    numerous startups fail who think their magic routing voodoo will
    make this work.   It is one of those technologies which just
    intuitively seems like should work, but doesn't for so many
    different reasons.

    At some point someone is going to build a multi-radio beamforming
    system which will actually result in the promise of mesh being
    fulfilled without actually using what I would call mesh.   With
    beamforming and distinct radios, one could conceptionally build a
    dynamic point to point backhaul system.

        So someone rediscovered mesh?  Umm, yea.  $7M down the tubes.

        All kidding aside, and while I am not going to specifically
        comment on this particular story....

        Having said that, you all should take a closer look at what Kent
        Urwiller has been doing with his WISP, using Mimosa Gear. (Micro
        Pops w/fat backhauls).

        His posts with a great amount of details can be found in the
        Mimosa Group and RF Elements group on Facebook.

        Here is a small snippet from one of his recent posts.. "...
        Pretty dang amazing really. We are seeing around 130-150 Mbps on
        a 40 MHz channel to each client thanks to 2.3 and C5c. .."
