Overview
Set it up as the base of an Orbi mesh, plug a multi-gig modem into its internet port and manage it from the app. Four internal antennas spread quad-band coverage, and satellites extend it at the push of a button.
Multi-gig wired input plus quad-band WiFi lets a busy household stream, game and video call at once. Coverage grows only with matching Orbi satellites, which add to the setup.
Who it's for
Households with gigabit or faster plans, lots of smart devices and gamers get headroom for heavy traffic. Small homes on modest plans will not use most of its capacity.
Pros and cons
- WiFi 7 quad-band speed
- 10 Gig internet port
- Handles many devices
- WPA3 and automatic firmware updates
- Satellites sold separately
- Large for a single router
- Description says it ships within Orbi systems
Performance notes
Real speeds depend on device support, since peak speeds need clients that support the newest WiFi standard, and the highest band reaches less far. Coverage in large or multi-floor homes depends on adding satellites to form the mesh.
