Netgear's Orbi systems are renowned for their use of a dedicated wireless backhaul (a private, high-speed link between the router and satellites). This ensures that the system's performance is not compromised as you add more devices, delivering consistently faster speeds throughout the home compared to many other mesh systems.
Wi-Fi 6E is the latest wireless standard that adds access to a brand-new 6GHz band. This band is less congested than the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, resulting in significantly faster speeds, lower latency, and less interference, which is ideal for demanding applications like AR/VR and 8K streaming.
Standard IT switches are not always optimised for the specific needs of real-time audio and video streaming. Netgear's ProAV switches are pre-configured to prioritise this type of traffic, ensuring a smooth, glitch-free experience when distributing high-resolution audio and video over your network.
They work together to provide complete protection. While your computer's anti-virus protects that one device, Netgear Armor protects your entire network. This means it also covers all your smart devices (cameras, smart speakers, thermostats, etc.) that cannot run their own security software, blocking threats at the router before they can enter your home.
While Netgear products are user-friendly, a professional installation ensures you get the absolute best performance. I Media's technicians will perform a site survey to determine the optimal placement of Orbi satellites, correctly configure advanced settings on ProAV switches, and implement robust security protocols, creating a tailored, high-performance network that a simple DIY setup cannot match.
