Netgear unveils $330 Orbi Outdoor Satellite for backyard Wi-Fi

The Orbi creates a dedicated 5-gigahertz, 1.7-gigabit per second channel between the base Orbi and the extended unit so you can get full internet access for devices that connect to the satellite Orbi unit. And it delivers maximum internet speeds no matter how many devices are connected. That’s important, because the average broadband household has more than seven connected devices that can stream video, and smart home devices are increasingly common, according to market researcher Parks Associates.
