Trying to meet growing demand for faster internet speeds, Netgear has added WiFi 7 wireless networking to its Orbi wireless extension family.
The Orbi 970 Series features a new antenna design and tech harnesses the benefits of WiFi 7, pushing the boundaries of performance and offering wireless internet speeds of up to 27 Gbps.
As households increasingly rely on faster multi-gig internet speeds and accommodate a higher number of connected devices, the need for faster WiFi speeds, lower latency, and expanded capacity becomes paramount.
WiFi 7, building on the foundation laid by WiFi 6E, expands channels to 320 MHz and delivers unprecedented speeds and performance. The Orbi 970 Series maximizes the potential of this new standard by incorporating tech that ensures seamless connectivity throughout the home, catering to the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications and the ever-expanding array of smart devices.
The Orbi 970 Series has Quad-Band technology and Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul. By leveraging multi-link operation (MLO), the system combines a dedicated 5 GHz band with a 6 GHz band, effectively doubling the connection speed between the router and satellites and achieving 10 Gig wireless backhaul. This results in reduced latency and maximized data delivery speed. The Smart Connect feature intelligently selects the fastest WiFi band for each connected device.
