Is the Orbi 370 worth it over a Wi-Fi 6 mesh?

If you have Wi-Fi 7 devices and a fast internet plan, the 2.5 Gbps port and newer radios make it a sensible upgrade. On older devices the difference is smaller, and a Wi-Fi 6 mesh can cover the same space for less.

Does it have a 6 GHz band?

No. The Orbi 370 is dual-band, using 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz only. The tri-band Orbi 770 and 970 add 6 GHz for less congestion.

How many square feet does it cover?

NETGEAR rates the system at up to 4,000 square feet. Real coverage depends on walls and layout, and adding a satellite extends it further.

Can I add more Orbi units?

Yes. You can pair additional Orbi 370 satellites to extend coverage, and the app manages them as one network.

You get the Orbi 370 router, an Ethernet cable, and a power adapter. Satellites are sold separately or in multi-pack kits.

Does it work with older Wi-Fi devices?

Yes. It is backward compatible with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6 devices, which connect on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

Our take on the NETGEAR Orbi 370 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Router

The Orbi 370 is NETGEAR's entry-level Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, a dual-band router with a 2.5 Gbps WAN port and up to 4,000 square feet of claimed coverage. It brings Wi-Fi 7 basics like WPA3 and multi-link operation to the Orbi line, but it skips the 6 GHz band and the dedicated backhaul that the tri-band Orbi 770 and 970 use. Reviewers like the simple app setup and steady whole-home coverage; power users note it is a step down from tri-band mesh kits for crowded networks.

PortsMixedSome owners find the Ethernet port count tight for wired devices.
BackhaulMixedWithout a dedicated backhaul, satellite speeds fall off more than on tri-band Orbi systems.
