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

Good question, I was wondering that myself. The last time I asked why I had received what was clearly an inappropriate post, I was basically told to sit down and shut up by the moderator. - Ryan Sent from my Apple iPad Pro  > On May 16, 2018, at 07:57, Colin P D Yarwood
