The Netgear Orbi might just be the best Wi-Fi system to date

2016-10-07
hi guys this is the or B Wi-Fi router from Netgear they say router I liked it actually a Wi-Fi system why because apart from this router here you also have this add-on Irit the two work together now hard work well first you connect this router here to your modem or any internet source through this one port right here and then turn it on after that take this add-on unit here move it away from the first one maybe 60 80 feet away and also turn up now you will have a very large Wi-Fi network which is the combined coverage of the both units now the two of them here are configured to work together so if you make changes to the router network it will be replicated to the add-on units ooh so in other words the add-on unit here is the wireless Wi-Fi extender of the first router now personally up to now I'm not a fan of Wi-Fi extender because they tend to use the same band to receive and we podcast the Wi-Fi signal resulting in a huge loss of signal up to 50% but the orbit is different the two of them here use a dedicated quad stream band to connect the two after that they will have another tube and one on five your hood and another on topographic hood to podcast signal for Wi-Fi clients so client connect to the router here or the add-on unit will receive the same result no signal loss now the tricky part to find the right spot to place the add-on unit too far from the router here it be there be no signal to extend and to close well it cannot optimize the coverage area to help with that it comes with these color-changing ring on top here make sure the ring shy solid blue during setup process now in type of performance these two are actually excellent in my testing it has the sustain speed of some 400 megabit per second which is not the fastest on the market but faster than many other routers and the Wi-Fi range is also excellent I tested it grid a house of almost 4,000 square feet and I got signal to every single corner now of course it can actually handle a larger house or maybe smaller depending on how your home is shaped you can also get more add-on units here up to two more to extend the coverage but I would not recommend that because these two right here already cost $400 and each of the add-on it here gonna cost another $250 so if you add more units and be too expensive maybe you just think about moving to a smaller home you know this is a great Wi-Fi system that quickly give you large Wi-Fi coverage without compromising the speed I like Leola in fact like it so much I get to here we go grace a - I lied I actually have a 3 that's how much I like it and that's because I'm don't know and with all these three here I sure have an OG Wi-Fi system from that gear
