We have a small house with concrete ceilings with underfloor heating in between. I am looking for a Wi-Fi 6 router set with fast mesh functionality that is seen as a unified WLAN. The Orbi set here is probably the best. Internet comes from a Swisscom Internet Box 2, which I would connect via cable to an Orbi device.

The top floor and the bottom floor are connected by a LAN cable.

My question: Since I have a NAS on the bottom floor, but usually access it from my computer on the top floor, I wanted to connect the Orbi device on the bottom to the Orbi device on the top with an existing LAN cable and thus have 'LAN speed' for the NAS hard drive (especially if I connect the computer on the other side to the Orbi device via cable. Is this possible? Thanks !

Answer

Thank you for the answers.

P.S. I saw that this Orbi doesn't have Wi-Fi 6 and that the model with Wi-Fi 6 is very expensive. So Orbi is out of the question for me.

Answer

Sure. You plug the cable into your NAS at the bottom and into the Orbi router at the top. That's it.

Your data. Your choice.
