Orbi beats the competition

Up to 100% faster WiFi than Google WiFi and Eero*

Orbi WiFi System

Orbi’s sleek design and state-of-the-art technology steals the show. Orbi's Tri-Band system creates a high capacity superhighway, while other systems experience slow speeds, as you add units.

  • Dedicated Tri-Band
  • Pre-paired for easy installation
  • Covers more square feet with 2 devices than others do with 3

Google WiFi & Eero

Other systems require personal information to sign up, and need more devices to cover the same amount of space that Orbi covers.

  • Speeds degrade as you add more units
  • Must have android or iOS device for installation
  • Fewer ethernet ports per unit
