Also, consider the fact that a well-functioning smart home is out of the question, with several smart products spread across different wireless networks. With a lightning-fast router set up as an access point on each floor, I have gotten stable speeds, but with the disadvantage that I had to manually switch from one network to the other when moving from one floor to the next. And it’s critical that everything talks together – and that it works! When speed was enoughįor many years I have had a very fast wireless home network, at the expense of convenience. Eventually, smart humidity meters, smoke alarms and district heating will also be installed. Smart doorbell, robot vacuum cleaner, blinds and garage door. I do not think my household is special, in that we almost always use a lot of network products: several mobile phones, tablets and PC’s, wireless printer, three TV’s, various network players and wireless speakers. And it does more than annoy: you simply cannot do your job well. The pitiful excuse for a router that your ISP sent you simply does not live up to the high bandwidth and stability requirements of today. If you want the best WiFi right now and want to be prepared for even faster internet connections, this is a good choice.Are you tired of choppy, stuttering video while the whole family is watching Netflix at the same time? Or of having to lower the quality of your video conference because someone else is streaming the Big Game? With everyone trapped in their home office, you quickly notice a poor network connection. That is not only the case in theory, in practice this mesh system also makes it true. The Netgear Orbi RBKE963 is the most powerful mesh WiFi system at the time of writing. My IP cameras and smart doorbell outside also have sufficient reception for a high-quality stream. The speed is not maximum there, but sufficient for background music while gardening. Not only do I have WiFi coverage on all floors of my house, but I also still have good WiFi in the back of the garden. I connect dozens of devices at the same time, without my WiFi hiccups.

Thanks to Wifi 6E, this is no problem at all. Not only my smart TV, phone, tablet, laptop, but also all kinds of smart devices. I have quite a few devices with WiFi that are constantly connected to the internet. In addition, the Orbi satellites do use this frequency to communicate with each other. But I am prepared for the future with this. A disadvantage is that none of my devices support this by default. This frequency band is hardly used, so you are less bothered by the Wi-Fi of the neighbors. With Wifi 6E, the Orbi RBKE963 supports an additional frequency band. So there is still plenty of opportunity for a higher internet speed. The Netgear Orbi RBKE963 has 10 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps network connections. The bottleneck is the equipment of my provider, so that I lose 5 percent speed. I have the fastest internet subscription possible at my address and I actually get the practical maximum speed everywhere. The Orbi mesh system works within 10 minutes.

#NETGEAR ORBI AX5400 REVIEW FULL#
With the Orbi RBKE963 I have full coverage in an average house.īut let's start at the beginning: the installation. It should therefore come as no surprise that I also achieve high speed in the attic with this system. In addition, thanks to Wifi 6E, it offers an extra frequency band. The Netgear Orbi RBKE963 is the fastest and most powerful mesh system available today. If I install it completely wireless, that usually means that my speed in the attic is limited. I have already tested a lot of mesh WiFi systems at my home. The stations are quite large, so it is difficult to place them out of sight. The range is excellent, I have wireless coverage throughout the house. I installed this mesh WiFi system in about 10 minutes. This is the fastest wifi system I've seen so far.
