Up to 100% Faster WiFi than Google WiFi and Eero*
How does Orbi stack up against the rest? Independent testing in real-world configurations shows Orbi delivers dramatically faster speeds and broader coverage than competing mesh WiFi systems.
Orbi WiFi System
Orbi's sleek design and state-of-the-art technology set it apart. The Tri-Band system creates a high-capacity superhighway, while other systems experience slow speeds as you add units.
- Dedicated Tri-Band — A dedicated backhaul band keeps speeds fast across every device, unlike dual-band competitors that share bandwidth between devices and the backhaul.
- Pre-paired for easy installation — Orbi units arrive ready to connect right out of the box.
- Covers more square feet with 2 devices than others do with 3 — fewer units, better coverage.
Google WiFi & Eero
Other systems require personal information to set up and rely on dual-band architectures that split available bandwidth between client devices and the mesh backhaul. As you add more units, speeds can degrade noticeably — a limitation Orbi's dedicated Tri-Band design avoids.
