Netgear announced the launch of the Orbi 960 series quad-band WiFi 6E Mesh system, divided into a white version (RBKE963) and black version (RBKE963B), consists of a Wi-Fi 6E router (main) and two satellite connection points (secondary) access points. This is an upgraded version of the Orbi 850 series tri-band WiFi 6 Mesh system (RBK853). A fourth frequency band has been added to the original 6GHz WiFi frequency band to provide a much-needed WiFi frequency band for new laptops and smartphones, thereby avoiding interference with the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.

Compared with the previous generation product, this flagship Orbi series product has upgraded WiFi signal and design, even the coverage of 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency band has been improved, and there is a 30% increase in speed. The Wan port has also been upgraded to a 10 Gbps port, which is currently the fastest available port on this type of equipment. At the same time, the router and two satellite connection points have a 2.5 Gbps port and three 10/100/1000Mbps ports.

In addition to the normal wireless network upgrade, the Orbi 960 series quad-band WiFi 6E Mesh system also pioneered a dedicated WiFi 6 backhaul, which is used for data exchange between the router and two satellite connection points, so as not to affect the performance of other devices connected to the network. Netgear said that this network system can provide lightning-like network connections for families with a living area of ​​9000 feet, and retain the possibility of expanding to larger spaces.

The price of the Orbi 960 series quad-band WiFi 6E Mesh system (Router + 2 Satellites) is $1499.99. For large houses or villas without network cables, this product should be the best choice at present
