But before you get too excited about the presence of a USB port on the Orbi, know that it is currently dormant. And many new-school routers don’t have USB ports at all (the Securifi Almond 3 is an exception on both counts-it has three ethernet ports and a USB port). The competition puts just two ethernet ports on their routers and satellites, which means you’ll need to buy an ethernet switch if you want to hardwire more than one device to them. And that’s okay, because Netgear is the only router company that hasn’t taken away the ethernet switch and USB port in order to make its product smaller and more stylish.
It’s not ugly, if you like modern aesthetics, but it’s not going to disappear into the background as easily as those other routers do. A hollowed-out Orbi would be big enough to hold a whole bouquet of flowers, measuring 8.89 inches tall and 6.67 inches wide. Those first two products strike a very low profile, and the Velop looks like a bud vase. About that industrial design: The Orbi is not nearly as small or unobtrusive as the Eero, Google Wifi, or Linksys Velop.
