Editor's Notes

November 09, 2020:

With a lot of companies focusing on their router-only mesh systems, we find the number of brand names here beginning to diminish. The upgraded Netgear Orbi All-In-One remains the only top-tier model that combines a mesh satellites with a base station that serves as both a modem and router, while most other systems require you to purchase a standalone modem.

Another relatively new development in the marketplace is the adoption of the new Wi-Fi 6 protocol, which is not only capable of reaching higher speeds than its predecessor, but that's able to do so with a greater number of devices sharing a single network. That makes models like the Netgear Nighthawk CAX80 AX6000 a good choice for large families or anyone with a particularly advanced home automation setup. It's true that not all appliances and smart devices are currently able to take full advantage of Wi-Fi 6, but it would be a smart buy if you're looking for something proofed against the near future.

February 26, 2019:

The recent crop of products in this category includes some impressive options from a channel bonding standpoint, which is vital as the number of internet-connected devices continues to rise per person. The Arris SBG7600 is a great example of something fast and nible, with a great user interface. The Netgear Orbi, holds its spot, however, mainly due to the fact that it's the kind of system — a mesh network with an exceptionally designed base — that's really the wave of the future.
