NETGEAR has launched a new addition to its Orbi line.<\/p>\n
The Orbi 860 Series builds on the award-winning Orbi 850 Series by future-proofing the best seller with a 10Gb Ethernet port, supporting multi-gig internet connections; upgraded antenna design for greater Wi-Fi performance and a bundled year of NETGEAR Armor, providing homes with an automatic shield of security against internet threats across every connected device.<\/p>\n
Following on the tremendous success of the Orbi 850 Series (Wi-Fi 6 AX6000 Mesh System RBK853), the Orbi 860 Series joins NETGEAR\u2019s industry-leading Wi-Fi 6 Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi portfolio.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Whole Home Mesh Wi-Fi portfolio ensures that you will no long suffer from dead zones, dropped connections, or buffering.”<\/p>\n
“This means that you can cover every possible area in your home with smooth, reliable, best-in-class Wi-Fi. The addition of the Orbi 860 Series is yet another feather in NETGEAR\u2019s cap,\u201d says Tobie van Schalkwyk, product manager for NETGEAR at Duxbury Networking.<\/p>\n
The past few years have seen huge changes to internet usage spurred by the pandemic, including a dramatic increase in just about everything from home \u2014 working, shopping, learning, and socialising.<\/p>\n
As internet service providers enable faster multi-gig internet speeds of up to 10 Gigabits per second, and hackers create new sophisticated cyber-attacks, high-performance and secure Wi-Fi become imperative.<\/p>\n
With NETGEAR\u2019s latest Wi-Fi 6 tri-band and patented dedicated backhaul technology, the powerful Orbi 860 Series mesh systems are designed to keep connections strong and running at maximum speeds in every room without slow-downs or buffering, providing families with the bandwidth to address household demands even when simultaneously 4K\/8K streaming, Zoom conferencing and Wi-Fi calling from a bedroom, basement or outside in the garden.<\/p>\n
In an environment where homes are connected with Gigabit plus internet (1.4 to 10 Gigabit), and have an increasing number of connected devices \u2014 more than 25 on average \u2014 the new Orbi 860 Series provides the best Wi-Fi experience for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 devices.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s an upgrade from the Orbi 850 series with a stepped-up internet connection, from 1 Gigabit to 10 Gigabit, and a new antenna system with wider coverage areas.<\/p>\n
The new Orbi RBK863 3-pack Wi-Fi Mesh System provides up to 2438 m2 of coverage (152 more than the 850 Series), with up to 6Gbps Wi-Fi speed and support for 100 devices operating at the same time.<\/p>\n
This coverage can easily be expanded with additional Orbi RBS860 satellites.<\/p>\n
To achieve this industry-leading performance and wider range, NETGEAR uses patented dedicated backhaul Wi-Fi technology and antenna design.<\/p>\n
The exclusive tri-band mesh system with NETGEAR\u2019s pioneering innovation ensures speeds stay fast as more Wi-Fi devices connect to the home network, with less dropped connections.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we launched our flagship Orbi product line in 2016, we set a new benchmark for connected home products with faster speeds, higher capacity and wider coverage areas with our patented tri-band mesh design,\u201d says David Henry, president & GM of Connected Home Products and Services at NETGEAR.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur new Orbi 860 Series is designed to continue to deliver on the promise of superior Wi-Fi. It provides the capacity to capitalise on higher incoming Internet speed, up to 10 Gigabit, an increasing number of devices and even better Wi-Fi range than the Orbi 850 Series.”<\/p>\n
“On top of that, we couple it with one of the industry\u2019s best internet security protection services to help customers to secure all their home Wi-Fi connected devices, including laptops, phones, tablets, speakers, cameras, baby monitors, TVs, light bulbs, light switches and more,\u201d adds Henry.<\/p>\n
Some of the features of the Orbi 860 Series include:<\/p>\n
For added peace of mind, the Orbi 860 Series includes a year of NETGEAR Armor to protect the connected home from online threats.<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional endpoint antivirus products, NETGEAR\u2019s Armor is built into the router as a comprehensive security solution to monitor activity going to and from the Internet, protecting computers, security cameras, baby monitors and other IoT devices, flagging external threats while eliminating the need for multiple security subscriptions or software.<\/p>\n
Additionally, it provides on-the-go protection and VPN for phones and laptops. Armor acts as a strong and effective \u2018front- and back-door lock\u2019 to any home network.<\/p>\n
