You can't randomly decide which unit should be the router and which should be the repeater. There's also a Bluetooth radio and antenna, but they're dormant for now.Īlthough they look the same, the Orbi's router unit and satellite units are not interchangeable. To support this configuration, each Orbi device has six high-performance amplified antennas around its perimeter. Because of this side channel, the main links between the Orbi units and your devices stay strong and fast. There's a twist, though: Netgear adds a second 5-GHz, 1.7Gbps radio that's exclusively dedicated to the backhaul, the data being transmitted from the router Orbi unit to the satellite Orbis and back again. The primary 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz radios provide a theoretical peak throughput of 1.2Gbps of data flow to user devices. The Orbi transmits Wi-Fi data on three radio-frequency bands. But if it glows amber, your internet connection is weak if it's magenta, your connection is gone. When an Orbi device glows white around the oval on top, it's starting up. Like Google Wifi, the Orbi units have color-coded LEDs.
