Overview
A household on multi-gig cable or fiber gets a router built to pass that speed through, with a ten gig internet port and a dedicated band for the newest laptops and phones. Add an Orbi satellite later and it becomes a mesh system.
Owners of the newest laptops and phones get a dedicated high band free from older devices, and the ten gig input means a top-tier internet plan is not throttled at the door. Wired ports beyond the internet input are not described, so a desk full of wired gear may need a switch.
Who it's for
Suited to homes within the listed coverage that run many connected devices on a fast plan. Buyers outside the US should look elsewhere, since it is made for US use only.
Pros and cons
- Ten gig internet port
- Dedicated band for the newest devices
- Automatic firmware updates
- Expands into a mesh with satellites
- Armor security is a trial only
- LAN port count not listed
- Satellites sold separately
- US use only
Performance notes
Speed to each device depends on whether it supports the new high band, while older devices share the remaining bands. Walls and distance reduce throughput, and the listed coverage assumes one router. Adding a satellite with a button press extends the network.
