• Smart home ready for today and tomorrow: With WiFi 6 capabilities, the RBS760 supports more smart devices—from security cameras to voice assistants and IoT hubs—without sacrificing performance. The extended coverage ensures every smart device stays connected, commands respond quickly, and video streams remain stable even when multiple gadgets are in use.
• Advanced security and parental controls: Built to protect your family and data, the extender supports modern security standards including WPA3. Pair this with flexible parental controls and guest networks to manage access, keep kids safe online, and protect your main network from unauthorized devices.
• Easy setup and intelligent placement: Set up is fast via the Orbi app or WPS, and LED signal indicators guide you to the optimal placement. Place the extender halfway between your router and the areas with weak signal to maximize coverage, then run a quick connectivity check to confirm performance improvements.
