OverviewThe Orbi LBR20 is a combined 4G LTE cellular modem and tri‑band mesh WiFi router designed for always‑on broadband and mesh coverage in small to medium premises. It integrates an LTE Category 18 modem and a tri‑band AC2200 WiFi engine to deliver up to 2.2 Gbps aggregate wireless throughput and fast cellular failover or primary connectivity.
Key Features- Tri‑band AC2200 WiFi (2.4 GHz + two 5 GHz bands) delivering combined throughput up to 2.2 Gbps.
- Integrated 4G LTE modem (LTE Cat 18) supporting cellular broadband and automatic failover.
- Dedicated 5 GHz backhaul (2x2, 866 Mbps) between router and Orbi satellites for improved mesh throughput.
- Two Gigabit Ethernet ports (1 WAN, 1 LAN) for wired devices or WAN fallback.
- Two external SMA antenna ports (antenna sold separately) for improved LTE reception.
- Quad‑core 710 MHz processor, MU‑MIMO and beamforming for multi‑device performance.
- Covers up to approximately 2,000 sq. ft. (coverage varies by environment).
