With NETGEAR’s latest Wi-Fi 6 tri-band and patented dedicated backhaul technology, the powerful Orbi 863 mesh systems is designed to keep connections strong and running at maximum speeds in every room without slowdowns or buffering, providing families the bandwidth to address household demands even when simultaneously 4K/ 8K streaming, Zoom conferencing and Wi-Fi calling from a bedroom, basement or outside in the yard. In an environment where homes are connected with Gigabit plus internet (1.4 to 10 Gigabit) and have an increasing number of connected devices – more than 25 on average – the new Orbi provides the best Wi-Fi experience for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 devices.
The new Orbi RBK863 3-pack Wi-Fi Mesh System provides up to 8,000 sq. ft. of coverage with up to 6Gbps Wi-Fi speed1 and support for 100 devices operating at the same time.

The exclusive tri-band mesh system with NETGEAR’s pioneering innovation ensures speeds stay fast as more WiFi devices connect to the home network with less dropped connections.
Marthesh Nagendra, Country Manager India, ME & SAARC, NETGEAR said, “The past few years have seen huge changes to internet usage spurred by the pandemic, including a dramatic increase in just about everything from home – working, shopping, learning, and socializing. As Internet Service Providers enable faster multi-gig internet speeds, up to 10 Gigabits per second, and hackers create new sophisticated cyber-attacks, high-performance and secure Wi-Fi become imperative. The all new Orbi 863 is a great addition to our existing lineup designed to deliver superior Wi-Fi, higher incoming Internet speed of up to 10 Gigabit, supports an increasing number of devices and much more. On top of that, we couple it with one of the industry’s best internet security protection services to help customers to secure all their home Wi-Fi connected devices, including laptops, phones, tablets, speakers, cameras, baby monitors, TVs, light bulbs, light switches and more.”
