- Is the Orbi 970 worth it over a Wi-Fi 6E mesh?
- Only if you have Wi-Fi 7 devices and multi-gig internet. For older devices, a Wi-Fi 6E mesh covers most homes for far less.
- How many units do I need?
- A two-pack suits most large homes. Add a satellite for very long or thick-walled houses.
- Does it support multi-gig internet?
- Yes. It has a 10G WAN port and multi-gig LAN ports, so it will not bottleneck fast fiber plans.
- Will older phones and laptops be faster?
- Somewhat, thanks to better backhaul and radios, but the biggest gains need Wi-Fi 7 clients.
- What is in the box?
- The kit includes the router, one or more satellites, power adapters and an Ethernet cable.
- Can I use it with my existing modem?
- Yes. Connect it to your modem or ONT through the WAN port; no Netgear modem is required.
- Where is the Netgear Orbi 970 Series Mesh System Wi-Fi 7 cheapest?
- At Netgear, for $1,299.99, as of our latest check.
