Decrease in throughput (vertical axis, in Mbps) per distance (horizontal axis, in feet). The Orbi has a smooth falloff, and its results over five test runs (thinner lines) were very consistent. (Image credit: Purch Labs)

Wireless standards: IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.11n To support this configuration, each Orbi device has six high-performance amplified antennas around its perimeter. There's also a Bluetooth radio and antenna, but they're dormant for now. compatible with your Orbi WiFi System. To use the table, locate your Orbi router or gateway model number on the left and find where it intersects with a satellite model number on the top. ToWhen the Orbi system is behaving strangely, one step that is often recommended is to update the firmware to the latest release. This may be not so much in hopes that it will fix the problem as in the realization that the first thing others will recommend is to update the firmware. Might as well get that out of the way. We measured an average throughput for the NetGear Orbi of 216 Mbits/s with a direct line of sight between it and the computer.

No simple “add satellite/sync” button. Adding a satellite must be done manually on both the router and the satellite. Netgear has taken the lead in the race to create a home Wi-Fi network system that all but sets itself up. ATH10K-CT drivers - there are limits in the drivers that one doesn't have in the closed source QSDK - that being said, CT drivers are pretty good, and the upstream devs for that driver have insight under NDA from Qualcomm.find your Orbi model numbers, look for the device product label on the bottom of your Orbi devices.
