New orbi gives >900mb/s down, <500mb-up from every corner. System covers every square inch of my house and the mesh system hands off perfectly.

Netgear orbi has a few glitches that need to be fixed. The netgear orbi can be purchased from netgear. Ethernet.

Competitiveness


Speeds are insane, i’m running fiber and i can nearly achieve 1gbps down.

You can auto update but if you need to manually update the firmware, you can get the files from netgears website.
