Orbi vs. hardwired ethernet
Planning to upgrade wifi in a home we just purchased about a year ago. It's 4000 sq ft, single story, and the router is at one end of the home. I was thinking about going with Orbi system. However...
The "legacy" wired system is current technology, will far outperform any wireless solution, and should not be adandoned. If you already have wires to almost every room, the best performing solution would be a few wireless access points (maybe 3 or 4) spread around the home, plus a separate router connected to your switch. You could continue to use your current router.
Netgear sells wireless access points (Insight in the business product line) but I'm not very familiar with them. Uqiquiti also sells a line of popular access points. Both solutions have a controller/app for managing the access points.
