Connecting Storage Devices to Orbi or other WiFi7 Mesh Satellite Solutions

Orbi RBE77i Tri-Band WiFi 7

 

Several suggestions:

1) on your product family comparisons add that this product does not support connectivity of external storage devices such as standalone SSDs or NAS solutions.

2) add external storage connectivity to your WIFi7 Product families.  It would seem logical that anyone willing to pay premium pricing for a WiFi 7 Mesh solution (i.e. early adopter) would also be interested in their own "private cloud" capabilities.

 

Just a thought.

    NG took out external USB storage back in Orbi AC after one model had it. Haven't seen it since. Maybe hard to compete with NAS and cloud services as well. NG maybe trying to keep things simple.
