There are banks, insurance companies, pension schemes and routers.
All is nice to have the best version of, but when it comes to the crunch, only a few of us what we should choose. Most it seems, therefore, lie until you are forced to take a position on the problem.
When it comes to wi-fi routers, the awakening, however, be abrupt, if your internet worsens in the fight for frequencies in the neighborhood and not least, the growing number of devices that need network access in the home.
Fortunately, the so-called mesh technology the last years has gained distribution at home. Gone is the past, the big routers with the unsightly and often idle antennas. Instead, among other things, Google has shrunk the technology and made it more simple to put wi-fi up and create effective cover in the house.
Google is, however, not alone on the market, which is also a well-known name, Netgear has created its brand of simple routers that work. Orbi is the name of the series, as we in recent weeks have tested a new version of the.

the Model, we have tested, continues to support the mesh, where you have two, three or more devices around the home, which creates a stable network of wi-fi in all areas. And with the same username and password everywhere.
the Restbet Difference is just that the Netgear Orbi RBR20 can easily stand alone. For many will a single unit, which cost from a little over 1000 dollars, therefore, be plentiful.
As with previous Orbi-models, done the setup smoothly via the app, Netgear has developed. It is also in the app, that you control the advanced parental controls, where you digitally can decide what to selected devices on the network must do.
It may be that a device is allowed access to the network, but only to approved websites and services.
You can also restrict the use, then the connection is disconnected after at 19 in the evening and only activated again at 16 the next afternoon.

We have not had the opportunity to test Orbi RBR20 with more than a single device. According to Netgear, the system will, when using the satellitenhederne, be extra stable in its transfer of data, since there is developed a particular wireless standard to the task.
But even when using the Orbi RBR20 alone, our impression has been that the connection is both strong and stable. Our advice is however that you are considering to buy a set with at least one router and a satellite, since it can pinch to get just as good coverage everywhere, if you have a larger apartment or a house.
the Price for a set is under 2000 dollars, which is a lot of money but competitive compared to the other brands on the market.
the Only appeal of the Orbi RBR20 is, therefore, that as by the similar mesh products lack the ethernet ports. At least one additional port would do wonders.
