I replaced a last-generation Time Capsule and 4 Airport Express units with a Netgear Orbi and two Orbi satellites. Finally, we’ve got stable, reliable and fast wi-fi (100 mbps) everywhere in our 2-story house, garage and yard. Firmware upgrades have made Orbi the wi-fi mesh network to beat. Do an online search for “wi-fi mesh networks” and study up. Apple has abandoned us yet again, but the good news is that the new mesh network devices are far superior to any outdated Airport device, and at a reasonable cost. Jim Scott, Eureka, CA
