SUPER-FAST SMARTS

Hi-fi meets Wi-Fi with Netgear’s groundbreaking mesh system and smart speaker combo

Like Simon Cowell throwing together his latest boyband, Netgear has taken a bunch of brilliant individual components and merged them into one world-beating smart-home kit. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Orbi Mesh Wi-Fi System with Orbi Voice ($TBC, netgear. com), a genuinely exciting innovation that boasts a Harman Kardon-built Bluetooth speaker, a voiceenabled Alexa personal assistant and a trailblazing tri-band mesh Wi-Fi router. What does it mean? You can conduct all of your IoT shenanigans at lightning-fast speed from literally anywhere in the home. Now, that’s what we call the X factor.
