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.

There are various mac filtering and access control, block sites, block services features in the webui.
Competitiveness
Speeds are insane, i’m running fiber and i can nearly achieve 1gbps down.
With the satellite connected to the router using the cat7 cable, i get over 700 mbps on my iphone12 that utilizes wifi6 and thi... Read More
You can auto update but if you need to manually update the firmware, you can get the files from netgears website.
Based on netgear’s follow-up, i decided the problem did not warrant removing a star on my rating.
