RBK50 to replace aging Time Capsule

I would contact NG support in regards to this to make sure.

Hi folks,

 

I'm considering replacing my fifth generation AC Time Capsule with a Orbi RBK50 two unit system in a 2200 sq foot two floor house as my TC struggles to provide distant coverage from the main floor where it's located to my iMac music server in the basement. Average connection speed at the imac server varies from 169 mbps to a max of 219 mbps. While I haven't expereienced stuttering on my clients upstairs when acessing iTunes Home Sharing from the music server downstairs, loading album cover art from that server on upstairs clients can take ages. I'm also going to add more clients around the house which which will increase the load on an aging Time Capsule's network.

 

My main concern is with the Orbi system's ability to support Wake On Lan and Apple's Bonjour service so my imac music server can be woken when a client requests music from it's library. If the Orbi doesn't support Bonjour this would be a deal breaker for me if I can't access music from that server. Can someone confirm the Oribi system supports Bonjour before I purchase it?

 

Thanks!
