Thanks for the thoroughness. I just set up an Orbi system in a 2000 square foot, 2 story home. My router sits in a corner of the house and my system is DSL. I get around 45 mb on the ethernet and had about half that at the fastest on my old router at about 20 feet. The Orbi is a big improvement on wireless, hitting about 2/3rds of ether net, even through the satellite and also in the basement, below the sat. Like many homes, I have run cat5 to other locations, so the Velop would be able to take advantage of backhaul over ethernet. I think that would be a big advantage to someone in a large, modern, ranch house that has been wired. For a smaller home like mine the Orbi rocks so far. One other factor is that the Linksys comes with a three year warranty, while the Netgear is just a year. That could be significant in something this expensive. If Netgear adds backhaul over ethernet I would give it the edge, and maybe an extended warranty. The extra ports on each unit could be very handy.
