The quad-band mesh wifi system is billed as a next-generation fix for your cramped home network.
The Orbi quad-band router claims it offers more than double the bandwidth, helped in part by its 6GHz band.Tri-band routers typically use that second 5 GHz band as backhaul for passing data back and forth between devices without interrupting bandwidth—kind of like taking the side road home that runs alongside the freeway.
Rather than a mesh product that needs to dedicate wireless bandwidth for backhaul, I’d rather get a WAP that can create its own 6ghz network and use my wired ethernet for backhaul to my router.
