On December 21, Netgear launched a new WiFi 6E router, model is Oribi RBKE963B AXE 11000. The product continues the Oribi family-style simple fashion design, the price of the black limited edition is 13999 yuan, and it is expected to be sold at the end of the month.
Netgear Oribi RBKE963B AXE 11000 supports Wi-Fi 6E Mesh Enhanced Network, offering four wireless channels of 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz and 5GHz dedicated wireless backhaul, supporting 16 data streams and ultra-low latency networks.
The router has improved the internal antenna design, greatly improving performance in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. At the same time, the signal coverage capacity of the router is also 30% higher than that of the previous generation, and the maximum coverage area can reach 700 square meters, even if you live in a villa, you can have perfect signal coverage.
The router body provides one 10Gbps WAN port, one 2.5Gbps LAN port, and three 1Gbps LAN ports. Therefore, the Oribi RBKE963B AXE 11000 supports 10 Gigabit fiber, which should be able to better play the powerful performance of the router itself and obtain the highest speed and stable Internet experience at any time.
The performance of this new product of netmail is indeed powerful, and the price is equally outrageous, with the price of the three-piece set as high as 13999 yuan. If the area of your villa is a little larger, the floor is a little higher, and then add one or two additional extension sub-routes, the price of a set of equipment will be 20,000 or 30,000, which is indeed not affordable by ordinary consumers.
Wi-Fi 6E adds support for the 6GHz band, while the previous Wi-Fi standard only supported 2.4GHz and 5GHz. From 5GHz to 6GHz, its radio wave count has increased by a factor of 4, adding a total of 14 additional 80MHz channels and 7 additional 160MHz channels, which means that less signal interference can be achieved and Wi-Fi stability will be greatly improved.
In terms of internet speed, 6GHz allows for more than 1Gbps speeds. Moreover, the increase in spectrum means that the latency is lower, which can be less than 1 millisecond, so that the user's effect in online games and video calls will be much better, and cloud games and cloud computing can also achieve better results.
However, China has not yet allocated the 6GHz band, or tends to allocate it to 5G instead of Wi-Fi. At this stage, XiaoLei does not recommend that consumers rush to Wi-Fi 6E to buy routers.
