Know before you buy
The 6 GHz band acts as an exclusive lane for your newest WiFi 6E-compatible devices. By separating this traffic from older devices, it significantly reduces network congestion and allows for faster, more stable connections.
No, you do not need a 10 Gig plan to use this system. The 10 Gig port is included to ensure your router is future-proofed for ultra-high-speed internet services as they become available in your area.
The system uses a dedicated wireless channel specifically for communication between the router and satellites. This keeps your main WiFi bands clear for your devices, ensuring your speed doesn't drop as you move through your home.
If your home is under 3,000 square feet and you have a modest number of devices, this system may provide more capacity than you need. However, it is an excellent choice if you have a high density of smart home devices or require consistent, high-bandwidth performance for 8K streaming and gaming.
Yes, the Orbi system is fully backward compatible. Your older devices will connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands while your newer WiFi 6E devices take advantage of the dedicated 6 GHz band.
NETGEAR Armor is a built-in security service that protects your network and connected devices from threats like malware and phishing. While it comes with a 30-day free trial, it is an optional subscription service and is not required to operate the router.
