Your Home Is So Happy You’re About To Discover These 30 Walmart Products
I’ve had an Orbi system in my home for about six years now, and tbh, I cannot imagine not having one now. I live in a townhouse, so it is extremely vertical — which means the Wi-Fi signal is not always great on the floors on which the modem and router are not. The Orbi totally solves that problem, though: With one satellite unit on each floor, getting good signal is never, ever an issue — something that’s especially important, given that both my spouse and I regularly work from home and require a good internet connection to, uh, do even the most basic aspects of our respective jobs.
Mesh systems like this Orbi one do tend to be a bit more expensive than a single plug-in Wi-Fi extender, but if you’re able to make the investment and you’re in a living situation that could benefit from it, I highly, highly recommend it.
Promising review: “This mesh system works great! It has great range. My house is old style construction. Block, plaster and lath walls and ceilings. Wi-Fi has always been a problem even in the next room. I also have a detached garage 60 feet from the house. With the satellite on the outside wall of the house I have full signal inside closed the garage. I am impressed.” —Rex
