    NETGEAR's Orbi 2.0 Software Release has Mesh Daisy Chain Functionality

    Cheers. Some other questions if you don't mind. 1. Did you find much real world differences between the RBK50 and the RBK40. The AC3000 vs AC2200 sounds a lot, but in practice ? 2. Does the range extender (RBW30) run at full rate when linking two units or is it a bottleneck when connecting...

    Is Powerline Networking Dead?

    Powerline vs Wifi vs Cat6 My experience of this is a bit different again. I started out using 802.g in this 4 story old house but connections were not stable plus the max rates seemed to be no better than 20mbps. It turned out also that the fire station up the road would also play hell with...
