Best mesh performance of all routers, Trial subscription for Netgear Armor security software, Easy-to-use app, Excellent configuration options using browser
Incredibly expensive, Insane specs would be overkill for most users, Very large mesh-node devices, Only 90 days of free tech support
Netgear's Orbi RBKE963 goes to the head of the class. This is the best-performing, most capable and most secure mesh system available today. Combined with Netgear's Armor security software, the mesh network's quad-band design, dedicated 5-GHz backhaul cha...
Extremely fast performance, The new design looks good (especially in black), Great coverage with three nodes, Support for fast 5GHz and 6GHz devices
The 5GHz backhaul may limit mesh performance, Netgear Armor and Smart Parental Controls are separate subscriptions and quite expensive, No compatibility with older Orbi satellites
This ultra-fast mesh kit is one of the fastest Wi-Fi systems you can get even before you remember that it can cover up to 9,000 square feet. The wired performance is also high with 10Gb Ethernet for WAN and 2.5Gb Ethernet for LAN devices or a wired backh...

The absolute best mesh performance of any system,Mesh router and extension nodes are super stylish,Netgear Orbi app is feature packed and easy to use,
Very, very expensive, Most likely overkill for most users, Netgear Armor security software costs after free trial,
The Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 6E (RBKE963) is the most premium mesh Wi-Fi system I have ever tested, delivering incredible connectivity, stability and device capacity. It's also phenomenally easy to setup, use and configure, too, making it approachable to anyone...
Wi-Fi 6E with 10.8Gbps speeds, Supports up to 200 devices, Easy to set up and use, Fast wired connections too
Crazy expensive, Only suitable for very large homes, Parental controls and security require additional subscriptions, Few devices with Wi-Fi 6E currently available
The latest Orbi mesh system with Wi-Fi 6E provides incredible performance. However, it's also seriously expensive, and the need to pay additional subscriptions for Netgear's security and parental control services seems rather cynical...
