Netgear Orbi Voice

If you have to have a router prominent in your home, might as well make it pull double duty as a smart speaker too

Netgear’s Orbi mesh Wi-Fi system is one of the best out there for creating big, fast wireless networks. Proving that there’s no product that can’t jump on the smart home bandwagon, its new version adds an Alexa speaker onto the mesh node, which works together with the main router to create one big network that banishes the black spots. (If you already have an Orbi system, you can buy the Voice alone for £279.)
