NETGEAR’s Orbi line has long been a go-to for whole-home Wi-Fi, and the RBK843S brings Wi-Fi 6 to the party. This tri-band system covers up to 8,000 square feet and handles up to 100 devices without breaking a sweat. That means you can have a dozen smart home gadgets, a few laptops streaming video, and someone gaming in the basement—all at once—without noticeable slowdowns.

The real-world speed is where this system shines. Wi-Fi 6 delivers gigabit-class throughput that keeps video calls crisp and 4K streams buffer-free, even when you’re three rooms away from the router. Each satellite extends coverage by 2,500 square feet, so adding one can fill out a tricky corner or a detached home office. Setup is straightforward: plug it into your existing cable modem, and the Orbi replaces your old router. The built-in security features and automatic firmware updates add a layer of protection without requiring you to manage anything.

One honest note: the satellites are sold separately if you need more than the two included units. And while the system is fast, it’s also bulky—the satellites are sizable, so they’ll be visible in your living space. For a large home with heavy device loads, though, this is a reliable, no-fuss solution that just works.
