Yeah, the ones I have left work fine at the very edge of my network. But I had serious network issues using them throughout the house until I switched to better bulbs that work how Zigbee devices are supposed to.
After I posted the above comment, I saw other people claiming they've had issues getting them to display traditional incandescent color values. I have not had that issue with them, either. There was something I had to set in HomeAssistant for the bulbs, I think, perhaps in the color picker UI, to allow the selection of those colors, but once I found that, no issue. I don't think I even had to manually re-pair them when I switched Zigbee channel to avoid my Wifi.
Now that I've said this, one will probably start showing blue instead of white or something, of course.
The problems I had were more network related because I didn't have enough repeaters, because I didn't realize SengLED had ignore the Zigbee spec and made their bulbs only endpoints. Once I put other bulbs in that worked properly, the network issues disappeared.
