Orbi 770 Series Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh Router Review

Performance
From right next to the router, we got our maximum line speed on both upload and download, not that we would have expected anything less.
At 5m, again, flawless performance, and while that doesn’t sound like a lot, I encourage you to go test your home router right now, I bet most of you have a performance drop off in the signal strength at this range.
At 10m away, again, the performance is flawless, while we know we’re not maxing out the speed of the router with our internet, that wouldn’t matter as it’s signal strength that matters here, and so far, it’s very strong even at 10m.
It’s only once we got 5M outside of the building that we saw some drop off in download speed, but keep in mind, we’re in a big warehouse with big metal doors and walls, so the fact we have any signal is impressive.
It wasn’t until we got 20M away from the building that we lost the signal, which is to be expected given the router is about 80 feet away and behind a metal wall at this point. If that faraday cage of a building wasn’t there, we’d have a signal for a lot longer.
Finally, we tested the router from up stairs, then again from downstairs, and both tests showed that it worked perfectly through the floor.
