Its didnt for me. I purchased Arris SB8200 modem to suppor the Orbi but the highest speed achieved was 450mbps WAN. Yes for LAN connection with capable devices. I agree with most people with 450 mbps. Netgear is full of bologny. Orbi hogs up 1.7 gbps just for communication between satellites. I wish there was an option to manually balance that. I had to return the modem and downgrade mu internet speed. Wasted time off work and a Saturday. It was a headache. Thanks Netgear for being transparrent.
