Ranked #8 in Mesh Wi-Fi Systems
Backed by 3 cited sources
Covered by 3 outlets
Excellent medium-to-long-range Wi-Fi 7 performance and 9,000 sq ft coverage from a 3-pack, but $1,300 with only 2.5GbE LAN ports is a feature regression the price doesn't excuse. Great range pick if you're committed to Orbi; weak value otherwise.
