Netgear Orbi RBK40 Review: Great Mesh Router for the Price

While other networking-hardware manufacturers are coming out with their first mesh-router kits, Netgear is already on its second generation with two new Orbi sets that are physically smaller, slightly less powerful and more affordable than the Orbi RBK50, our current Editor's Choice.

We tested and used the larger of the two new sets, the RBK40, and found that it nearly replicates the original Orbi's excellent performance. The RBK40's twin devices are just as easy to set up and will fill most medium-to-large-size homes with strong Wi-Fi signals.
