Orbi WiFi System Compatibility
How do I know if the Orbi WiFi System is compatible with my devices?

Wifi is an interoperablity standard. As long as your devices were certified they should work. The orbi supports G / N / AC standards so as long as your devices are complient with one of those you should be ok. Here is a good article on 802.11 Wireless standards:

I appreciate your answer, unfortunately I'm no techy. I don't know how to tell if my devices are "certified" or what that means. The article you gave me a link to is over my head as well. The terminology is totally foreign to me. Is there someone who can explain this to me in Layman's terms please?

In Layman's terms, yes, it works.. There's lots of reading material out on the big bad Internet.. Fishing vs Fish.

Thank you for your reply netwrks. I know I'm not a techy & technical terminology isn't my forte, but I still need to know how to tell if my devices are compatible with the Orbi system. How do I know if my devices are certified? I've no doubt their system works, as long as it is compatible with your devices. Just need to know how to tell before buying it.
