Orbi CBR750 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi Router

You will be capped to around 940 Mbps with a 1 gb port. You will not get anywhere near 4.2Gbps on wifi. Says that right on the website.

I use an Orbi with one satellite and a netgear 3.1 gateway in bridge mode. They’re expensive but I got it used for cheap and it’s been great.

Similar experience to mine with the 750P series. about 2 months after i bought it i noticed no internet, rebooted mutliple times nothing, couldnt access the unit on the app or the web management, full pin reset and it was back up, so i didnt think anything of it. 2 weeks later same issue. Called support they had me manually install the same firmware that was on the router and satillites, all good for about 6 weeks the it did it again. Previous tech said if it does it again they will RMA the router but dont hard reset as they wanted to see if they could get logs. So i call support again only to be told while my units are still under hardware warranty the included "tech support" is only 90 days and I'd have to buy a tech plan starting at $99. I'm like oh no thnkas you can just RMA, look at the history of the serial number. Tech tells me they cants RMA it unless they "troubleshoot" the issue and they cant do that unless i buy a plan.. I nearly lose it on the phone. guy puts me on hold for like 10 mins only to come back and tell methe RMA is approved. Replacement unit shows up 2 days later, all good right? wrong. I had the 750P model from best buy which is an AX5400, they replaced the router with the 750 model which is said to have a better cpu and mo0re antennas but is only an AX4200 unit. I do use the wireless backhaul to connect my audio system to my network and the things i have in the basement so I was a litter concerned. The first issue I had was getting the Satillies to connect correctly to the 750 as the sats are like the router the 750P model line, They would connect but never stay synced, googling the error pointed to bad signal even though they were in the smae spots. As luck would have it Support called me just to verify it showed up to which i told them they sent the wrong unit, they reopened the case and told me they would send a second replacemeent the 760 which is the new direct replacement of the 750p, i asked them to verify it works correctly with the satillies whcih they did. That showed up this morning, and the satillites just wouldnt connect, took about 2 hours to get them to connect and they still seem glitchy.. My patience with netgear had run out, I just picked up the TP Link Deco BE65 Pro BE11000 kit and will be setting that up in the morning then probably selling the netgear cheap or giving it to a friend or something.

Netgear Orbi mesh all the way

Since I've had Sonos gear in my house, I've run three mesh wifi routers: a Netgear Orbi, a Tp-Link XE-75 Pro and now a Eero 6E. By far the Eero has been the easiest, most stable and most reliable of the bunch. The TP-Link was absolute garbage and nothing but a headache for the 6 months I had it.

got a free old orbi mesh from a friend that moved away. works great

If you need to go mesh and not hardwired for the APs. I’d recommend Netgear Orbi. They use a dedicated radio frequency for backhaul between the mesh. That leaves 2 bands for WIFI only. Competing products, such as Ubiquiti, typically share backhaul on one of the WiFi bands and that reduces client throughput. I’ve had 2 different generations over the past 10 years and it works well. I upgraded because I wanted the faster backhaul and WIFI 6 on the newer gen not because I had an issue with the old system.
