Netgear launches Orbi 860 series with 10Gb WAN in Taiwan

Netgear launched in Taiwan today Blind The latest addition to the Wi-Fi 6 wireless mesh router family is the Orbi 860 series. In terms of specifications, it is actually similar to the Orbi 850 which debuted in 2019. It is also the specification of the AX6000, providing a set of 2.4GHz channels (1.2Gbps) and two sets of 5GHz channels (each 2.4Gbps), and one set of 5GHz is used to create the exclusive backhaul communication channel of the mesh system.

The main difference in the specifications is that the Orbi 860 increases the WAN port to 10Gbps to prepare for the “future high-speed network” and redesigns a more efficient antenna and a higher level low-pass filter to increase coverage to 5 GHz by 20%. of the frequency band. Orbi 860 can connect up to 100 devices simultaneously and is also preparing for the future smart home. Netgear puts a lot of emphasis on protecting its Armor network, even adding an “S” for Security to the end of the model number. All RBK860S come with one year of Netgear Armor protection.

The Orbi 860 is available in black and white, but black is sold exclusively at the Netgear flagship store. The Orbi 860 is expected to be available for pre-order at the Netgear flagship store starting in January, and the exact price has yet to be announced.
