- A: AnswerDo NOT get netgear routers, especially the ORBI 963, it's garbage !! I had 2 and returned both!! they work great at first then after 2-4 weeks the problems come out I purchased the Asus ET12 and used the official not beta December firmware at home and work and both are faster and more stable than the 963 was ever!! also netgear deletes lots of negative feedback on their forums to attract more suckers.

- A: AnswerIn terms of technology it is already a gen behind the latest technology. With that being said, the current gen technology that is out there hardly any devices themselves are using it. How often you use it or how much data you stream really shouldn't effect the life of the unit. The question you need to ask yourself, is how important it is to you to always have the latest generation of equipment for top speeds. I picked this up and at Christmas to replace my eero's I had from a couple of years ago, which were 5G. I replaced the Eero's because, I got tired of not having a true router I could control. Personally, I think you can get a min of 3 years to 5 years with these in place. I'm an IT director and we generally upgrade our wifi infrastructure every 5 years at our offices.

Answered by RafS
- A: AnswerNetgear support articles mention a two pack and the number for it. I believe even the standalone satellite for the 900 series mentions being compatible with a two pack version. However I have not seen any indication of when/if those will be available to purchase.

- A: AnswerI am pretty sure the other 5ghz band is used for the wireless backhaul.

Pricey But Well Worth the Money!!
I originally purchased a Orbi AX4200 unit as I had recently upgraded my internet connection to 1.4Gbps and needed a new unit that supported Gigabit connections. The AX4200 showed on the box that it supported up 4 to 5Gbps but found out in the end that it does not, maybe router to satellite but not actual internet speed. It supports UP TO 1Gbps, if your connection is over 1Gbps you are out of luck, at best you will get is around 950Mbps or less, so I returned the AX4200 and purchased this unit (AXE11000). Setup, same as the AX4200 was a breeze and the nice thing was I did not have to remove the old unit from the app, I just tapped setup new Orbi system and setup did the rest. I've seen several complaints regarding the Orbi setup, but I did not have any issues; unplug internet modem, plug in modem and let it boot up, plugin ethernet cable into the ethernet port into your modem, plug ethernet cable into Orbi router (Gigabit port yellow ethernet port), connect power cable to Orbi router and plug it in. Give it a few minutes to boot up, open the app and follow the instructions to finish router setup and connect satellite(s), it's as easy as that! After setup I ran a speed test, download speeds were between 1.4 to 1.5Gbps, upload side around 40Mbps +. My primary workstation is a PC with external drives connected that are shared over the network that is plugged into the Orbi routers Gigabit ethernet port. One external drive has a lot of video files on it. From my laptop, I accessed the drive via file manager, double clicked an mp4 file and the video started playing almost instantaneity. Anything internet relate is super-fast!! Make sure in setup (orbilogin.net or go to the IP to login in a browser), go to Wi-Fi, make sure you enable Wi-Fi 6. What this does, if you have a device that supports WiFi6e, when you scan for available networks, it will show in available networks and is much faster than WiFi6. Another thing, if you are connected via Wi-Fi and are connected to the router, a speed test will show very high speeds (same as your internet connection), if you are connected to a satellite, speeds will be slower. Example my connection is 1.4Gbps down, speed test showed 750Mbps down when connected to the satellite, upload side was not affected. Of course, anyone considering buying one of these units will have internet speeds in excess of 1Gbps; I am saying this because if you have less than 1Gbps you are wasting your money buying an AXE11000 as there are other Orbi units that support up to 1Gbps that cost much less. I hope this review helps anyone who is considering purchasing a 960 unit. Yes, these unit(s) are very pricey, but in today’s world you get what you pay for. Bottom line I highly recommend the AXE11000. One final note, Orbi support is great, they are 24/7, very helpful, and they actually know what they are talking about!

Expensive but worth it
I’ve been using mesh Wi-Fi systems since they first came out and this system hands down is the best. There is a speed drop between satellites when you do the wireless back haul, which is to be expected, but the drop in speed is not as severe as other brands on the market. I have over 500mbps anywhere in my house, back porch, and front porch over Wi-Fi. Coverage is phenomenal. The transition from one satellite to another is seamless as you are moving around the house. My only issue, which really isn’t too much of an issue, is that the admin portal when you do the ip login vs the app doesn’t offer a whole lot of control with advanced setups. Again it’s not really a big issue considering most people will not need to change anything after the initial setup has been done. Other potential down sides are that you have to pay an extra subscription for the parental controls. I myself do not need this feature. However, the bitdefender armor security is not free and will require a subscription. You’ll be given a 30 day trial after setup is complete, and this is something I would suggest subscribing to for a little added protection to your network. You just made a $1500 investment so why not protect it as best as you can. If you’re into the smart home devices, this system does off an IoT network to keep your smart devices separated from the main network which in turn helps free up your bandwidth for other things such as video streaming and online gaming. All in all it’s an expensive system but worth it if you can shell out the money.

Best WiFi system I’ve ever purchased!
I’ve owned many WiFi systems in the past. Spent a lot of money on complicated systems that didn’t really get a good value for. With Netgears Orbi 6E mesh system, hands down the best! So easy to setup, used iPhone app to get it running within minutes. I’m able to run hardline on each satellites which is awesome. Fastest speeds I’ve ever gotten on WiFi. 755mbps down and 40.8mbps up! I ended up buying 2 of these systems to replace my business and home WiFi. NETGEAR all the way!!
