NETGEAR Orbi 970 Series Quad-Band WiFi 7 Mesh Network System (RBE973S), Router + 2 Satellite Extenders, Security Features, Up to 27Gbps, Covers Up to 10,000 sq. ft., 200 Devices, 10 Gig Internet Port

I’ve been using the Netgear Orbi 970 for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s a solid mesh WiFi system, but it’s not perfect. The setup was pretty easy, even for someone who isn’t super tech-savvy. The app walks you through everything, and I had the whole thing up and running in about 20 minutes.The coverage is impressive. I have a three-story house with a lot of dead zones, and the Orbi 970 pretty much wiped those out. Speeds are fast and consistent, even when multiple people are streaming or gaming at the same time. I also like that it supports WiFi 7, so it feels future-proof.That said, the p

Update 2: Replaced with the router in my first update and everything now works flawlessly. I can’t believe the difference. My system is completely stable now. The instability that I was getting with the Orbi 970 was extremely painful. When you buy a router system, what you should expect is that it just works. Even the app was bad. It frequently had errors causing me to not be able to see any devices. When I searched online, sure enough a lot of other people were also having these issues. Please, don’t put yourself through the trouble of this router.Update: This is the most frustrating router t

We upgraded from our nearly 10-year old Google WiFi setup at our house, as we've had chronic trouble getting wireless coverage throughout our roughly 3000 sf, 2-story home. Some research suggested that, although wall shielding remains an issue with WiFi, the newer systems like the Orbi 970 should be able to easily cover this square footage.This has proven to be 100% true. We get complete coverage through our home at the full speed that we purchase from our internet provider for the first time. Set up was easy and intuitive, with step-by-step instructions that were easy to follow on my iPhone v

Amazing... reduced my 10 x NetGear Nighthawk Satellites (+1 Router) with this system (2 x Satellites & 1 Router)... Blows everything out of the water i've ever used, my speeds I pay for from my ISP are now actually real with this system. Super expensive, but well worth it, especially if you WFH like myself.

The easiest mesh network to set up I have ever seen. Great upgrade from WiFi 6. Entire home runs faster and I love how you can separate devices to an IoT network getting that traffic it one network. Have not had any issues with compatibility, everything switched right over.

Barely works for what I need. Claims 10000ft coverage but struggles at 3k.Had issues setting up so I had to update the firmware, do factory resets on all of them and set them up next to each other which took quite a while because it's surprisingly slow.If it gets out of sync, it takes forever to get back into sync and come back online. Long time to boot too.DON'T USE THE APP although the web UI is STILL netgear trash from 20 years ago, it's still better to use.Not impressed at all for the cost.BIG issue that I didn't realize before buying is my previous satellites had 4 Ethernet connections, t

I purchased this after our old orbi hit a decade of service. It has been a complete mixed bag.Does it work? yes. Does it work well for you? Maybe.Our home is a split level with 5 floors, and thick walls with lathe. That means mesh systems historically have a hard time with it, so after using an old orbi system for over a decade with two nodes, I figured this would be a worthy upgrade if I got 2 satellites rather than 1 to cover our current dead zones. I figured I could deploy it, turn the radio transmit power down slightly (a feature proudly presented in their user manual, which is apparently

I've been struggling with spotty Wi-Fi in my large home for years, but the new Orbi Mesh system has completely transformed our connectivity! Setup was a breeze - literally took under 15 minutes - and now every corner, from the basement office to the backyard patio, has lightning-fast, reliable signal. Streaming 4K videos, online gaming, and video calls are all buttery smooth with no lags or dropouts. The app is intuitive for managing devices and parental controls too. If you're tired of dead zones, this is the upgrade you need - worth every penny for that peace of mind! Highly recommend for fa
