Overview
A household with a multi-gig internet connection and a big house gets a router and two satellites that spread one network across the property. A full band is reserved for the link between router and satellites, and the Orbi app guides setup.
Dedicated backhaul and a multi-gig internet port lead the case for it, with wired LAN ports for gaming PCs and servers. Devices on older Wi-Fi generations keep working. Security includes router protection and a trial of NETGEAR Armor that lasts a month.
Who it's for
Big houses with many devices and wired equipment that benefit from a multi-gig backbone. Small homes, or buyers on a basic internet connection, would not use the capacity.
Pros and cons
- Dedicated backhaul band
- Multi-gig internet port
- Wired LAN ports on units
- Large home coverage
- Armor trial ends after a month
- Three separate units to place
- Coverage depends on home layout
Performance notes
A dedicated backhaul band means traffic between router and satellites does not compete with client devices, which steadies speeds in big homes. Wired devices on the LAN ports use the multi-gig links directly. Coverage depends on walls and placement, and satellites can be added to extend it.
