    I bought this for newly installed 2 gig fiber service. The wireless seems to do a good enough job but I never got around to setting the mesh up because the wired connection couldn't compete with the internet providers router. On theirs I got 2.3down/up. With the Orbi I get 1.8down/2.3 up, this is in a test environment with the same cables and only one device on the router(s). I put in a support ticket with netgear and not only are they slow to respond they ask questions like if I'm connected to 2.4 or 5ghz signal when I told them the issue is the wired connection. While I was waiting on a response I went ahead and bought the Asus ZenWiFi Pro ET12. Again, on the same cables it maxes out at 2.3 down/up. So it would seem that the orbi has some kind of issue reaching the maximum speed downstream. I wish support would take some interest in the ticket and solve the issue as I think it has more features than the Asus but I can't leave 0.5 gig downstream on the table for features. I plan on returning it next week if support doesn't start doing a better job. I wouldn't buy this product if you were planning on taking advantage of a plan that is greater than 1.5 gig down.

    purchased the NETGEAR® Orbi™ AXE11000 Quad-band WiFi 6E Mesh System from Best Buy because I have a detached garage that is 400ft away from my front door. The garage is used for my office and entertainment where I stream my 4K TV, use Sonos and also play video games on my computer. Let’s just say this is a huuuuuge upgrade from my previous Velop system. I went from a very weak connection to a full strength great connection. It may be pricey however if you need the speed and range you cannot go wrong with this one!
