Orbi 850 vs 960 question
Hi everyone, I’m not super advanced when it comes to this stuff so please bear with me. I’m trying to really future proof my networking and push it out as far as I can. I have 3GB fibre internet...
If you're satellites are hardwired in, they still act as part of the mesh and other satellites can still connect to them.
So I wouldn't worry to much about that.
Your concern is if its worth buying the 960 series for the 2.5gig backhaul or sticking with an 860 with only the 1gig backhaul.
That's something its more on your budget and performance goals to decide.
If your devices that connect to the satellite aren't using the full 1 gig, then its worth sticking with the 860.
But if you're satellites are using 2gig speeds, then it might be worth the jump to the 960 series.
Not really a choice we can make as it isn't our wallets paying for it.
