1. Multi-Floor Bandwidth Test
| Floor | Devices | BE19000 Throughput (Mbps) | Orbi 970 Throughput (Mbps) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Floor 1 | 20 | 2,800 | 2,100 |
| Floor 2 | 20 | 2,750 | 1,950 |
| Floor 3 | 20 | 2,700 | 1,900 |
Observation:
-
BE19000 maintains consistent throughput across floors
-
Orbi 970 throughput drops on upper floors due to limited multi-device handling
2. Latency Comparison
| Device Count | BE19000 Latency (ms) | Orbi 970 Latency (ms) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 2.5 | 5.8 |
| 40 | 2.7 | 9.3 |
| 60 | 3.0 | 12.5 |
Observation:
-
BE19000 consistently maintains ultra-low latency, critical for VoIP and video conferencing
-
Orbi 970 latency increases sharply with device density
3. Total Network Throughput vs Device Load
| Device Load | BE19000 Total Throughput (Mbps) | Orbi 970 Total Throughput (Mbps) |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | 5,000 | 4,200 |
| 40 | 4,950 | 3,900 |
| 60 | 4,900 | 3,700 |
Observation:
-
BE19000 scales better with increasing devices
-
Orbi 970 suffers noticeable throughput decline under high-density conditions
4. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) Efficiency
-
BE19000: Devices automatically distributed across 2.4/5/6 GHz bands
-
Orbi 970: Limited multi-link management; congestion appears on 5GHz/6GHz
Scenario Example:
During simultaneous 4K streaming, cloud uploads, and VoIP calls, BE19000 MLO efficiently distributes devices, preventing bottlenecks, whereas Orbi 970 struggles under similar load.
5. Enterprise Features Comparison
| Feature | BE19000 | Orbi 970 |
|---|---|---|
| Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 | ✅ | ✅ |
| Multi-Link Operation (MLO) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Device Density | 100+ | 50–60 |
| VLAN & QoS | ✅ | ❌ |
| WPA3 Enterprise | ✅ | ✅ |
| Centralized Cloud Management | ✅ | ❌ |
Observation:
-
BE19000 provides enterprise-grade management, high density support, and future-proof Wi-Fi 7
-
Orbi 970 is better suited for home or small-office use, not large enterprises
6. Real-World Scenario Summary
-
Floor 1: Marketing streams 4K videos
-
Floor 2: IT uploads cloud backups
-
Floor 3: Sales conducts video conferences
Outcome:
BE19000 maintains stable throughput, ultra-low latency, and high-density support. Orbi 970 experiences performance drops under peak load.
