Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6E (RBKE963)
The Orbi WiFi 6E (model number RBKE963) from Netgear is one of the greatest mesh Wi-Fi systems on the market, but it's also one of the priciest. However, if you have a lot of cash, a gigabit broadband connection from your ISP, and a big residence, this mesh system is probably for you. The Orbi WiFi 6E has a range of up to 9,000 square feet of coverage. With a third satellite, you may cover a total area of 12,000 square feet. The router's 6-GHz channel generated throughput of more than a gigabit per second at a distance of 15 feet.
The system provides channels on the 2.5, 5 and 6-GHz bands, as well as a fourth 5-GHz channel for backhaul between units, and each unit has 12 antennas and four Ethernet connections (one of which is rated at 2.5 Gbps). Trials of Netgear's Armor security software, which incorporates Bitdefender antivirus and parental controls, are available. After 90 days, you'll have to pay for tech assistance. You won't mind, though, if you can afford to pay for this mesh system.
