Further to my recent thread about improving wifi in my house, I took the advice of the crowd and decided to go for Mesh wifi as opposed to extending by powerline adaptors and extenders. However, the $500-$600 for Ubiquiti and Google Wifi are out of my price range for now.

 

I noticed that the Netgear Orbi 3-pack is in the PBTech Cyber Monday sale - what are peoples' thoughts about this option compared tyo the Google & Ubiquiti options? The Netgear units look a bit big, but the specs sound good.

 

Cheers,

 

Martin

The Orbi isn’t bad and is a good price in this sale. Just go for that.

I never recommend Google WiFi. It doesn’t have VLAN support and has some privacy concerns also.
