Easy setup and configuration, Single SSID, Built in cable modem, Eliminates dead spots over larger areas, 4 + 2 Gigabit Ethernet ports, Tri-Band and MU-MIMO support
Automatically puts devices on 2.4 or 5Gbps networks, High up front cost, Not DOCSIS 3.1 capable, No Integrated VoIP Support
We really like the NETGEAR Orbi Mesh Router With built-in Cable Modem kit, model CBK40. The kit offers fast AC Wi-Fi that can cover up to 4000sqft with the included satellite, and it could potentially save you money over the long run. The initial purchase...

Abstract: Historically, I have flitted between many different routers. I used AirPort Extreme for a while, and then a variety of third-party options. A couple of years ago, mesh WiFi became a popular buzzword. I kind of passed it over, thinking it was more of a mar...
User friendly Wi-Fi mesh system (if you stick with one tool to set up and monitor), Excellent routing performance with a strong signal and low attenuation in the test area, High throughput maintained across both wireless N and AC networks in the test area
Expensive, A confusing collection of setup and monitoring options that can potentially overwhelm customers, USB port on either unit is not accessible with a storage device, Warranty of only a year
The NETGEAR Orbi RBK50 Wi-Fi system costs $316.99 from authorized retailers, including Amazon.com and others listed here, for customers in the USA and as of the date this review was written. User friendly Wi-Fi mesh system (if you stick with one tool to...

ALSO CHECK OUT: GOOGLE WIFI VS EERO 2ND GENERATIONFeatures and PerformanceIt's true that when I saw the first generation of Eero more than a year ago, I did not have much faith in this type of devices, but fortunately, I was proven wrong and the new WiFi...
Bottom line is, if you are experiencing dead spots in your home, then the Orbi is likely the way to go. It'll provide you with plenty of coverage, even if you do live in a smaller home or apartment. Seeing as some older buildings do have thicker walls, an...
You really can't go wrong with the NETGEAR Orbi Wifi System. While it may be a little expensive, it will save you lots of frustration, especially if your home is 2 floors or more and you have a lot of devices connected. I trust NETGEAR as a brand over...
Two 5 GHz radios for more connection options, Decent routing feature set, Works if internet connection goes down
ZigBee radio not enabled
The point of all the plots and data is to back up what was shown up front by the Wi-Fi System Ranker results; the original Orbi has earned its spot as the #1 Ranked Wi-Fi System for Performance. However, I also have to give kudos to Linksys for the second...
