Bottom line, Orbi is a great mesh system, but you need to know what you are doing. It’s not a simple plug-and-play system, it will work properly only if it’s correctly configured, otherwise you will always get strange issues.

ok thanks
so what's this big talk about wifi 6 and wifi 6
- ekhalilSep 25, 2022MasterWifi 6 is the new wifi standard (IEEE 802.11ax).
All new mobile devices (phones, laptops,…) support the new wifi 6. With wifi 6 you get the following main benefits:
1. Higher speeds: Wifi 6 delivers about four times greater wireless performance in congested settings than Wifi 5, thanks to improvements in the directional antenna’s Multiple-in Multiple-out (MIMO) capability.
2. Improved security using WPA3 authentication.
3. Improved battery life for your devices
4. Because of the improved access point capacity, wifi 6 is good when having many IoT devices.
In wifi 6e a new frequency band (6GHz) was introduced beside the existing 2.4 and 5GHz bands.
