Netgear launches Orbi Wi-Fi routers to cover your whole home

Routers aren’t the most exciting tech product, but Netgear is trying to grab attention today for an innovation that will enable a router to more easily cover an entire home with fast internet access. The new product, Orbi, promises to get you all of the internet that you are paying for.

Netgear’s Orbi Wi-Fi System was built with recognition that your internet cable and computer aren’t always located in the center of your home. So the Orbi places one Wi-Fi unit where the internet comes into the home and another centrally to extend fast Wi-Fi access to more of the home. The full range that can be covered is about 4,000 square feet. That’s enough for a pretty big house and yard.
