The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

Greatly Improved WiFi Coverage and Extended Range
on June 29, 2017
Posted by: Sn2dl
from Detroit, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
Our cable provider launched a new gateway (DVR/Modem/Router, in one unit) which was been great for our tv service as it can record double the amount of shows. The router was supposed to be many times better than the previous generation as it had both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channels (old unit was 2.4 GHz only). Once they installed it, we found it to only be marginally better in certain parts of our house (1,100 sq. ft. bricked ranch). With 110 M/bit Service (110 download, 10 upload) we would only get 40/5 right next to the router and one room away more like 15/3. This was unacceptable at best!
After a careful review search I decided to go with the ORBI because of a few reasons. 1st, we have multiple devices such as phones, laptops, streaming media (Netflix, Pandora, etc.), so traffic can be quite busy during prime-time hours (8-11PM, for example). The ORBI back channel allows the two devices (router and satellite) to communicate on their own channel, so that bandwidth available to users is unaffected. The old router had a channel and many people were sharing it, thus things like Netflix which needs a constant stream of data, would shutter, pause, stop, etc.
2nd, the router is located it the front center of the house, but we often like to sit on the back patio, which is through 3-4 inside walls as well as an exterior brick wall. With the cable company’s router, I could only manage 4-5M/bit download loads and most of the time it would time out and do nothing. So, range is greatly improved!
The ORBI solved all our problems, the signal is strong (averaging 95-110 download and usually right at 10-10.3 on the upload). This is the case right next to the router, right next to the satellite, sitting outside, basically everywhere on our property. I even went behind the garage a did a speed test, which would be going through the back of the house (brick), the front of the garage (brick) and the back of the garage (wood siding) and I still got 45-50 M/bit, which was what I would see standing right next to the older router.
Overall speeds 50 feet from the router or satellite are nearly as strong as being right next to the old router.
Another benefit is our gateway seems to be operating much more efficiently since its only job is now to broadcast shows and send out a wired internet signal to the ORBI (I disabled the router and make sure you do so with yours, so they don’t compete against each other). The units look nice and have not had to be restarted or managed in any way since they were installed originally about a month ago. I simply hooked them up (follow the quick setup guide), updated the firmware (easy 2-3 click process) and that was it.
The cost is substantially more than other router systems, but the multi point mesh and the fact that they have the dedicated back channel really seems to be a step forward. I would hands down recommend them. On a side note, public wi-fi that you use to think was fast will feel slow after using this setup, in fact my wired experience is almost identical to my desktop which is connected via ethernet.

Ease of the subscription, always updated, love it!

I hated the idea of a subscription, meaning I am always going to have to pay. But lets me honest, you need office on a Windows PC and the fact that you are covering 5 PC's for about $20 each a year, well that's a steal. It is always up-to-date and no need to worry about buying 2013 and then the 2015 version comes out, you automatically get the upgrade. I will be a subscriber from now on!

Will it work with Hughesnet. I live out in the country and the only internet provider I can get is Hughesnet 4

Yes - ORBI works with any internet provider that has an ethernet port (phone wire looking cable) that comes out of your modem. Hughes Net will be the weakest link in this setup, not the ORBI!

Does Orbi work well with a fiber optic modem?

Yes - the orbi seems to provide a wi-fi signal (and download speeds) that is close to, if not equal to, that of a wired connection. I have 105/10 internet service and I get about 105-111 download wired and wirelessly with ORBI I get 85-90 about 30 feet from the router and any closer than that, I get around 100-105, so almost no difference. When you factor in 2 units (one router with an additional satalite) you get that same speed over a meshed area of 60+ feet.

If you have a decent Internet connection, trust me, the issue is with your router and the router will always be the weak point, ORBI gets you a lot closer to 100% of what your fiber is providing to your home/office.
