I currently have a Netgear Orbi mesh system with two satellites that I’d like to upgrade. It’s the first-gen Orbi, with only 3 ethernet ports and one useless USB port. I’ve eliminated as many 2.4Ghz devices from my network as possible, and moved as many devices as I can to ethernet. My goals are to move to modern wifi to support things like game future streaming as much as possible.
The Asus RT-AX88U Pro is currently like $230 on amazon, so I was thinking of going with that.
I’d rather go straight to 6E, of course, but it seems like the “best” routers are in the $400 range.
What would you do?
I decided to upgrade to WiFi 6 because my existing WiFi 5 router was not being supported anymore with firmware updates. My WiFi 5 router was good enough, didn’t need WiFi 6.
Is your Net gear Orbi still supported? If so, then keep using it.
