    I've noticed jb hifi have the google wifi for $399 I think.

    Any wifi guru's out there that could advise between these two?

    I've had great luck with my netgear routers for a few years so I'm not sure.

      Orbi is vastly superior and has way more configurable settings

      • perthjay85 on 25/11/2017 - 18:13

        To tech heads that might sound appealing.

        But to a complete novice who wants plug and play simplicity are the netgear orbi idiot proof for setup?

        • hypie on 25/11/2017 - 18:16

          I have this Orbi, absolutely love it. The 4 ethernet ports on the main unit and the satellite is fantastic. Very easy setup and great range. This is an amazing price.

          Download the app, few minutes later it's set it self up.

          Nothing to it.

          @scuderiarmani:

          Awesome stuff, thanks for that.

          I'll be ready to upgrade in the new year.

          Thanks for that

          Orbi has a really easy setup process for normal people (non nerds)

        I don't get why people would pay 400 bucks for Google Wi-Fi, it's crazy.

      Since it's not something you need change every year I'd recommend to go for one that is supported by third party firmwares. That way after manufacturers abandons it after couple of years you'll still have chance to get latest updates. Numbers above AC1200 are pretty much meaningless as they require clients that don't yet exist to take advantage of larger number of streams.

      If you really interested in setting up mesh to cover your farm of 50 acres enterprise-grade Unifi Lite will be a cheaper and probably better option.

      $388 at harveys

      • BellaWii on 26/11/2017 - 08:53

        If you have the HN/Amex $100 cashback offer, HN price reduces to $288 or $300 (depends on how you view the $12 topup). That's a really good price for mesh wifi. I would recommend the Google wifi at that price.
        I have the Orbi and love it as well. Perfect for large houses or large blocks. I read somewhere the router and satellite be 15m apart to reduce wifi overlap.

  • scuderiarmani on 25/11/2017 - 18:12

    Orbi leaves the other mesh systems for dead. It uses an independent connection between them.

    Works perfectly in my house where many other setups failed dismally.

    Purchased these on release, no drop out since.

    • perthjay85 on 25/11/2017 - 18:14

      Cheers for the headsup.

      I'm very close to purchasing these instead of the Google wifi in the near future.

      • scuderiarmani on 25/11/2017 - 18:16

        To give you an idea of the range, I have a very long double story town house. It goes from front bottom to back top without an issue. Providing 3-400mbps connection. Where as no other router (including the the best ASUS models) could even register a signal upstairs in that spot.

        Going through half a dozen walls (including 3 tiled).

    US$303.82 (~AU$399) delivered @ Amazon US

    bit easier to read for the title…
    (shouldn't be AU$410 if you pay in USD with a fee free card.)
