Fleet on me: Orbi is a solid platform to host all your connected kit James Day

In an average-sized house with average-speed broadband, the advantages of this pricey mesh network are somewhat limited. However, speeds from a 40Mbps fibre connection were consistently 10 to 15Mbps better in far-flung corners of our test home, compared to our broadband provider’s router. Really, though, it’s in a secure Wi-fi 6 smart home that Orbi rules – the speed boost is just an added bonus.
