Nobody tolerates buffering during a knockout game
Group stage, people are forgiving. You can catch up. It doesn’t really matter.
Once it’s knockout stage it’s different. Ninety minutes, one goal, penalties. Every second is live and everyone in the room knows it.
It’s also the worst possible conditions for a home network. Full house, everyone on a device, a 4K stream trying to hold through the tension of extra time.
Most routers are doing their best from one location, pushing signal through walls and floors to every corner of the house at once. Under that kind of load, something usually gives.
Orbi distributes the load across satellites rather than funnelling everything through one box. Each device connects to the nearest node. The backhaul keeps the system talking cleanly.
It’s not a guarantee your team will win. But at least you won’t miss a second of the match.
