You’d think that Netgear was trying to make its mesh range as confusing as possible. In recent years it’s released half a dozen different Orbi systems, with similarlooking designs but wildly varying price points – right up to the noexpense-spared Orbi RBKE963(see issue 331, p68), which brings top-speed Wi-Fi 6E and multi-Gigabit Ethernet for an excruciating £1,699.
At £600 inc VAT, the RBK763S sits in the middle of the range, but in the context of the wider mesh market), while the TP-Link Deco XE75 adds Wi-Fi 6E support and still only costs £380 ().
