Orbi 770 Series Help
Hell everyone!
I currently use the Orbi RBR750 router + 1 Satellite, which supports Wi-Fi 6.
I just purchased a new laptop that supports Wi-Fi 6E, and I am building a new desktop that will also support Wi-Fi 6E.
I have two options:
1. Stay with the RBR750 and use Wi-Fi 6.
2. Upgrade to the 770 Series which is Wi-Fi 7 but supports 6E.
My question to you fellow users is: Will there be a noticeable improvement if I upgrade to the 7 Series Orbi?
I would prefer to not spend the $ if it will not truly represent an improvement.
Please advise. Thank you in advance for your input, it will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Jose
The improvement would be a getting support for Wifi 7 which supports both 5Ghz and 6Ghz connections at the same time. MLO. 6E only supports single connections at a time. So 5Ghz or 6Ghz at a time, just not together. SLO.
If your 750 series is working for you, could keep it a bit longer until you get something that supports WiFi7 and MLO.
