In the box of Netgear Orbi Pro Router, two devices are available- Base Station Router and Satellite. Both designs and build quality are of a kind and can be identified by color coding given at the top of them. In the review unit the router is blue on top, while the satellite is grayed out.
The height of both of them is about 10 inches and their weight is less than 1 kg so you can call them portable too. Hard plastic has been used in making them. The four ports on the bottom side of the rear of both devices are given. Both have a sync and power button. Apart from this, the DC port and reset option has been given.
The router has three Ethernet ports, whereas the Extender, which has four Ethernet ports (LANs) in Satellite Devices, has been given. The router has an Internet (WAN) port in which you will use the cable provided by the Internet Service Provider. You can mount the router in the wall, so the kit is given in the box which can be used.
According to Netgear, Orbi Pro is specially designed for small businesses who do not have a dedicated IT carrier. .
After completing Orbi Pro router setup, these three make up three WiFi networks. The first is the Admin Network, which provides the network to the company. This allows you to add printer and other servers to your business.
The second WiFi network will be named Empoyee, which is for staff. This will allow mobile devices and computers to connect and it will have full access. The name of the third WiFi SSID will be Guest, which will be for guest users coming to the office. In this you can put a page of your business or office that can have company name and logo. Limited use has been provided in it and it can be setup with mobile app.
This router is great for small businesses, because not only its coverage is tremendous, but the features given in it also make it special. If your business is small and can not have staff for IT, then it is for you. You can customize it yourself and connect from office printers to smartphone computers or servers.
This router can connect 40 users simultaneously and all can simultaneously use the internet. However, more users can join, but then there is a problem in bandwidth allocation, due to which some users may have to face difficulties in connectivity.
This router covers up to 5,000 square feet, which is enough for a small business. During testing, we have found that its connectivity to the last coverage area remains tremendous and there is no problem with network disconnection.
The router's web interface can be quite difficult. If you have never set up a router yourself, it can be difficult for you to seize it. However, by going step by step you can do it and you will gradually get used to it.
In the review of this router we will tell you

User interface and setup
Setting up the router is easy and if you have an idea of your IP, you can setup it within 10 minutes. Power cable and ethernet cord, after which the satellite can be removed from the router, it also needs power. Setting up is similar to the other router. You will also need a computer or mobile for this. By giving power to the device, you can connect your smartphone by scanning the QR code code attached to it.
