Thinking Of Buyng an Orbi

I'm thinking of buying a Netgear Orbi but before doing so I like to do my research.

 

Right now I have an Asus RT87r.  Everyone in the family are gamers and each have a console or two in some cases: 

 

2 PS4's 

3 Xb1's

 

1 PS4 and one XB1 are hard wired and the rest are wireless.  

 

With our current setup we can have multiple consoles online at the same time so we can play together. The only issue sometimes is that party or game chat occasionally doesnt work or we have to reboot the network to get everyone playing together. I pretty much have to place every device in the DHCP reservation list also

 

How easy is it to get multiple consoles online at the same time with ORBI?

 

Thanks

    Hello Dorwrath

     

    It will be similar you will have to put the Devices in DHCP reservation list and port forward for the console services.
