This NETGEAR Orbi 960 Wi-Fi 6E Mesh System increased my speeds by nearly 50% — purchasing a router actually does make a difference

Orbi 960 Wi-Fi 6E router.

For years I’ve been interested in the capabilities of expensive routers and whether or not they are worth the price over the standard ones supplied by your network provider. NETGEAR’s Orbi 960 is the crème de la crème of Wi-Fi mesh systems so it seemed fitting to try the 3-pack out to determine whether or not buying a fancy router is actually worth it.

After around a month of testing the Orbi 960 system, I’m impressed with the improvements on my home network by using the Orbi, but is it worth paying over $1000? Let’s find out.
