Delivering greater coverage, faster speeds, increased capacity
and robust security, Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mesh System provides
next-generation WiFi for the home office and small business
professional
NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTGR), the leading provider of
networking products that power businesses both large and small,
today announces the addition of WiFi 6 to the Orbi Pro portfolio.
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 (SXK80) Tri-band Mesh System is an
industry leading tri-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) multi-node mesh system
designed to grow with small businesses and home offices as the need
to expand their area of network coverage increases. It is comprised
of a single router and a single satellite, and can expand to
support up to 6 satellites (wireless nodes). The Orbi Pro WiFi 6
Tri-band Mesh System provides the latest generation of WiFi
technology to deliver increased capacity, advanced security and
enhanced speed for employees, customers and guests of small
businesses and small office environments. In an era where business
is widely being conducted remotely while other members of the
household are also dependent on connectivity, this new addition to
the Orbi Pro family can also address the demand for separate and
secure WiFi networks when working from home. Featuring the latest
WiFi data security standard, WPA3, along with 4 SSIDs and VLAN
support, the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mesh System provides a secure network
while also isolating connections for separate activities, making it
the ideal solution for today’s work from home paradigm.

With the Insight remote management solution, business
owners are also empowered to manage their network from any location
via the Insight app on a mobile device, without incurring the added
expense of IT overhead. The Insight app also provides for a quick
and easy installation of the advanced WiFi network, eliminating
downtime and creating dedicated separate and isolated WiFi channels
for employees, guests and administrative purposes.
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 is designed to exceed the needs of those
business owners with small offices and limited IT budgets, but the
impact goes beyond these applications. This latest advancement to
the NETGEAR WiFi product range also supports hospitality and
service-based industries, including restaurants, bars, retail
outlets, medical offices, professional services, and even small
educational centers. For these organizations, providing reliable
WiFi to guests and clients is essential to help improve customer
satisfaction and it is a business imperative that internal
operations are kept running safely and securely.
Joining the growing portfolio of WiFi 6 products from NETGEAR
Business, the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 follows the WAX610 and WAX610Y WiFi 6
dual-band access points launched earlier this quarter. The Orbi Pro
WiFi 6 maintains the proven and successful tri-band dedicated
backhaul WiFi system design of the Orbi Pro. Through this wireless
backhaul superhighway, it will support up to 6 satellites, covering
a total area of about 1,700 square meters or 18,000 square feet.
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 provides 4x the capacity to support more device
connections than that of the original Orbi Pro unit, enabling
businesses to serve more customers with improved speeds and less
congestion. With the Orbi Pro WiFi 6’s capability to accommodate
greater capacity, the home office and places of business become
better equipped to handle multiple video conferencing streams,
large file transfers, IoT and security devices.
Experience high performance and improved speeds with WiFi
6
With advanced features such as dedicated quad-stream WiFi 6
backhaul, OFDMA, and MU-MIMO, customers will receive the highest
performance WiFi for years to come. Business owners will be able to
continue to add more connected devices on their business WiFi
network over time, without any slowdowns.
High performance also includes robust wired connectivity. With
the versatile 2.5Gbps Ethernet port on the router and on each
satellite internet speeds can be maximized even above gigabit. Each
satellite, as well as the central router, also allows for more
wired device connections for faster file transfers with 4GbE ports
on each, two of which can be combined for Link Aggregation. The
Link Aggregation feature can also double the bandwidth between the
Orbi Pro WiFi 6 node and its connected client device by aggregating
two Ethernet cables to form a single logical link.
By adding the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mesh System to a network,
customers and employees will gain access to the best WiFi with
higher speeds, less congestion, greater device density, and
increased battery life for WiFi 6 smartphones, tablets and
laptops.
- 4x more client devices and 100% higher speed per router and
satellite unit compared with the previous generation
- Tri-band 12-stream WiFi 6, 4 streams on 2.4GHz and 8 streams on
5GHz. Each unit delivers up to 6Gbps of data throughput

802.11AC) standards

connectivity per node. Ideal when connected to NETGEAR multi-gig
Ethernet switches
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Tri-band Mesh system is designed
specifically for the type of environment where customers and guests
are using the network alongside employees. The new mesh WiFi 6
system includes security enhancements that help to keep employee
networks isolated from the guest networks.
Unprecedented WiFi Security for
Businesses
The Orbi Pro WiFi 6 includes the capability to set up four
separate wireless networks (SSIDs) which can be used for
administration, employees, guests, and IoT devices (WiFi
surveillance cameras, thermostats, door locks and sensors) with
separate and secure VLANs.
Small and medium-sized organizations can now enjoy
enterprise-level security without the enterprise cost. NETGEAR
Insight remote management solution, makes the configuration and
maintenance of network security easy. For the highest level of WiFi
connection security, WPA3 has been implemented to provided
enterprise-level encryption.
“With the addition of WiFi 6, we have now equipped Orbi Pro
business networking for the next generation of connectivity. With
higher speeds, and greater security in their home or office space,
business owners will experience better coverage and elimination of
dead zones resulting in increased productivity levels,” said
Richard Jonker, vice president of product line management for
NETGEAR Business products. “And, with the added features of VLANs
and WPA3 to the Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Mesh System, businesses can be
