qtopplings Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 May I ask y you cancelled? What are you using in place of Luma? I posted about this in another thread. I moved my existing R7000 to a central location in the house, and am now getting excellent coverage in all rooms. So that negates the need for a solution like Luma. And the R7000 has way better control of advanced settings....plus I have 99.9% uptime. Will probably add Circle for the family restrictions at some point soon. I'll continue to follow Luma/eero and see about Plume when it launches, and eventually might upgrade if needed. But really, I don't need more than 120mb connection on wireless devices....that's more than enough to perform any task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally can't wait till the end of the month for the Luma update, That should hopefully give us some of what was promised, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awraynor Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Opened an RMA to return my Lumas. I am oh so close to doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itGeeks Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) I am oh so close to doing the same thing. You know how many times I grabbed the Luma box and headed down the hall to the bedroom to pack it up? I have now decided to wait and at least wait for the first firmware update slated for end of July and see what we get. I know we should at least get port forwarding, bug fixes though I have to tell you Luma has been rock solid since day 1 and I get the full 150/150 internet speed, I have not tried testing file transfer performance yet but plan on doing so soon.

jomobco Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Well I just cancelled my 1/10/16 Luma 12 unit preorder. I spent the last 20 minutes reading the comments from Luma customers on their FB page. Luma simply ignores their base. I simply don't trust them. And with their software designed to be intrusive, I need to trust them with my data. It appears to me they are in it for a short term play to flip the company. They knew a long time ago there was only white yet no one found out until after the launch date passed. I believe (just a guess) they jumped the Best Buy PO in front of the early adopter preorders who had prepaid and had a contract with Luma. Communication is key to a relationship and this company is not good at communication. On another note I'm super happy with my eero set-up and Circle for the little one. I've got a 9 unit and a 3 unit running side by side and it's humming along nicely! Plus the app is super easy to flip between networks. At least I was able to leverage eero to get a Luma like price. Win/win in my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
