https://getconnectedmedia.com/ - With increased Internet usage, many people are discovering just how weak their home networking has become. Most older routers, or the ones that come with your service provider, are toiling with Zoom calls, video streaming, online gaming, as well as all the smart assistants, speakers, robot vacuums, tablets, smartphones, video cameras, thermostats, and more. That's where a system like the Netgear Orbi wifi 6 AX6000 Mesh Network comes in handy. Built for wifi 6, the latest wifi standard, the Netgear Orbi wifi 6 AX6000 covers up to 5000 sq ft with just two devices. The system, as shown in this video, supports a quad stream backhaul, a feature that was in the previous Netgear Orbi mesh systems, that allows direct connections between each access point, and faster direct speeds to devices. It'll handle over 100 devices with ease. As Mike pointed out, he's already at 65, so he's almost there. While few devices at home currently have wifi 6 802.11ax support, except the latest smartphones and laptops, the Orbi wifi 6 AX6000 system is fully backwards compatible with previous generation wifi standards. Speaking of the latest standards, as more homes become wired for fibre optic, the WAN port on the central unit will connect at up to 2.5 Gbps. So, if you are lucky enough to have 1 Gbps service to your home, this system will handle it. There's even a built-in four-port Gigabit switch in each access point, allowing you to plug-in devices that require an Ethernet connection, increasing the flexibility of the system, and keeping you from drilling holes in your walls to accommodate them. The system is made for high performance, but there are two immediate caveats. For starters, the system is costly at over $699 US for the two-pack system, as shown. If you have a family, parental controls are not available, so if you do go with this system, you will have to find other ways to control access. So, if you want the fastest WiFi currently available, you should buy it. But if you have kids, hopefully, a software update adds much needed parental controls, or check out an add on like Circle, also from Netgear.
