Netgear Orbi RBKE963 Wi-Fi 6E
The ultimate no-compromise mesh system — 10 Gbps backhaul, quad-band, and coverage for mansions.
Our Review
The Netgear Orbi RBKE963 is the most powerful mesh system money can buy. Its quad-band architecture dedicates an entire 6GHz band to wireless backhaul, leaving three bands free for devices. A 10 Gbps Ethernet port on the router handles multi-gig internet plans, and the 3-pack covers up to 9,000 sq ft. If you have a large home, gigabit+ internet, and demand the absolute fastest Wi-Fi everywhere, this is it — but you'll pay dearly for it.
