Its two-pack kit that contains a router and a satellite costs $400 and it covers the area of 5,000 square feet. If you want to increase the area of coverage by 2,000 square feet you can simply buy another satellite that costs $250. In the market, no other brand costs this much for providing these services. However, according to Orbi, they provide greater per unit coverage.

The rear of Netgear Orbi Router contains a Sync button, one Ethernet WAN port for modem connection, three Ethernet LAN ports used for connecting with other routers, a standard DC power port as well as a USB 2.0 port for network-attached storage.
