Is the Orbi 370 worth it over the Orbi 770?

The 370 costs less and covers similar square footage, but the 770 is tri-band with a dedicated backhaul, so it holds speed better with many devices. Choose the 370 for everyday use in a large home; choose the 770 for heavy gaming or crowded networks.

Does it have a dedicated backhaul channel?

No. It is dual-band, so the satellites use the same 5 GHz band as your devices. That keeps the price down but caps throughput compared with tri-band Orbi systems.

How many devices can it handle?

NETGEAR does not publish a hard device limit, but the dual-band design handles dozens of typical smart-home and streaming devices comfortably. Very dense households with heavy simultaneous 4K or gaming traffic will feel the shared-band limit.

You get one Orbi router and two satellites, plus power adapters and an Ethernet cable. The app handles setup; no separate controller is needed.

Does it support WPA3 and wired connections?

Yes. It supports WPA3 encryption and has Gigabit Ethernet ports on the router and satellites for wired devices or a modem link.

Will it work with my existing router?

It works best as a full replacement for your router. You can run it in access point mode behind another router, but you lose some Orbi app features.

Our take on the NETGEAR Orbi 370 Series Dual Band WiFi 7 Mesh, 3-Pack

The Orbi 370 Series is NETGEAR's entry-level Wi-Fi 7 mesh system, sold as a three-pack router plus two satellites covering up to 6,000 square feet. It is dual-band rather than tri-band, so the dedicated backhaul channel found on Orbi 770 and 970 models is missing; satellites share the 5 GHz band with your devices. It suits large homes that want Wi-Fi 7 speeds and WPA3 without paying tri-band money, but heavy gamers and people in dense neighborhoods should weigh the trade-off. Owners rate it well overall, with setup and coverage drawing the most praise and throughput at range drawing the most complaints.
