Data Over Cable Service Interface Service Interface
Specification (DOCSIS) 3.1 is the latest technology standard being
rolled out by cable service providers for gigabit and higher
internet speeds into homes. It uses existing infrastructure to
support higher gigabit speeds, thereby allowing faster rollout by
cable internet providers and makes gigabit+ internet speeds widely
accessible to customers. The new NETGEAR Orbi WiFi 6 with Built-in
Cable Modem enables households to take advantage of the latest
technologies to enjoy the most advanced broadband internet speeds
and high-performance WiFi available.
DOCSIS 3.1 will reduce latency over the network to improve
streaming in 4K/8K video, provide for a better gaming experience
and enhance video conferencing. The technology is designed to offer
optimal connectivity even during peak internet usage hours. This
new Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System combined with the DOCSIS 3.1 cable
modem will provide the fastest speeds for today and will continue
as the capabilities of cable expand in the future. With ownership
of this new modem and WiFi 6 mesh system, consumers will be
guaranteed to not only experience the benefits of improved internet
and WiFi network performance but will also realize savings on
monthly equipment rental fees from their service providers.
WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the next generation of WiFi technology and
is specifically designed to provide greater capacity for today’s
modern households with numerous connected screens and smart devices
that require a cloud connection for their intelligence. The
upgraded WiFi provides households with the bandwidth to address
these demands in an environment where streaming of ultra-high
definition video to multiple screens puts greater strain on home
networks. The new Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System with DOCSIS 3.1 Cable
Modem will help ensure that distance learning, online exercise
classes, online gaming, live video meetings and streaming of
on-demand online video, will all continue practically
uninterrupted. The 8 stream WiFi 6 mesh system includes a dedicated
quad stream 5Ghz backhaul channel for connectivity between the
router and satellite which reduces congestion while allowing all
devices on the network to run faster.
“Since 2016, NETGEAR has led the mesh category with the
performance of our Orbi Tri-band Mesh WiFi Systems. Now, with the
combination of the leading DOCSIS 3.1 modem technology and advanced
WiFi 6 mesh, cable subscribers are being introduced to a new world
of broadband access with the fastest internet speeds,” said David
Henry, senior vice president of Connected Home Products for
NETGEAR. “Orbi WiFi 6 Mesh System with Built-in DOCSIS 3.1 Cable
Modem sets households up for the next generation of internet
access, which is ideally suited for the work-from-home and
learn-from-home existence that we are living with today.”
Simple setup and network management are all made possible by way
of the Orbi mobile app available for iOS and Android. Right from
the app, one can easily enable the guest network, view a list of
connected devices, and perform speed tests.

activity, NETGEAR Armor™ powered by Bitdefender on Orbi Mesh
