In an age of faster multi-gig internet speeds, increased device connectivity, and bandwidth-intensive applications like 4K/8K video streaming and immersive gaming, the need for faster WiFi, lower latency, and increased capacity is paramount.
The next evolution in wireless technology is WiFi 7. Building on the foundation of WiFi 6E, WiFi 7 expands channels to 320 MHz, delivering unprecedented speeds and performance. The Orbi 970 Series harnesses this power to ensure seamless connectivity throughout your home, supporting all devices simultaneously.
Key Features:
- Quad-Band technology and Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul for uninterrupted high-speed WiFi.
- Smart Connect feature intelligently selects the fastest WiFi band for each connected device.
- The 10 Gig internet port combined with 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports unlock blazing-fast speeds.
- Sleek design with 12 high-performance internal antennas for complete coverage.
In addition to the above the Orbi 970 Series comes with a one-year subscription of NETGEAR Armor™ Powered by Bitdefender, an all-in-one security solution that eliminates the need for multiple security subscriptions.
Netgear Smart Parental Controls allow easy management of children’s online activity, promoting responsible internet usage. Basic features are free, with a Premium Plan available after a 30-day trial.
The Netgear Orbi app simplifies setup and provides remote network management capabilities from anywhere.
The Orbi comes as a two pack with one satellite (Orbi RBE972), or alternatively, for those needing expanded coverage, as a three pack with two satellites (Orbi RBE973) which blankets up to 8,200 sqft – 10% more than the previous model – and supports up to 200 devices. Additional satellites can be added to extend coverage further, each equipped with high-speed Ethernet ports.
