- Is the Orbi 970 worth it over the Orbi 960?
- The 970 adds WiFi 7 and faster wired ports. If you have WiFi 7 devices or multi-gig internet, it is the more future-proof pick; otherwise the 960 covers most homes for less.

- No, older devices still connect and get good range. But the biggest speed gains only show up with WiFi 7 phones, laptops or adapters.

- Netgear rates the router plus two satellites for homes up to about 10,000 square feet, depending on walls and layout.
