Orbi Devices

Hi

 

Im looking for a WiFi System to replace my NightHawk...

I'd like to know if into Orbi's system is possible to add multiple Orbi devices or 3 is the limit.

 

And also if Orbi is a MESH system... im new to this discussion, but is MESH a better solution then Router + Repeater?

 

Thanks

    Hello Japex1

     

    Orbi is a star topology and you can have a router and 3 satellites. And yes this has alot more advantages than a repeater such as full wireless speed, single network SSID and seamless roaming.

        Hello Japex1

         

        Community members have had success adding more than three but it is not recommended by Netgear
