NETGEAR Orbi 770 review

Orbi 770 is NETGEAR's recommended system for most homes and a good answer for a house with a basement, upper floor or backyard the old router cannot reach. NETGEAR lists tri-band Wi-Fi 7 at up to 11 Gbps, coverage up to 5,500 sq ft for the 2-pack and 8,000 sq ft for the 3-pack, and up to 100 devices. The router has a 2.5G WAN port and three 2.5G LAN ports. Instead of a separate backhaul band, Orbi 770 uses Wi-Fi 7 Multi-Link Operation across its three bands to keep the router and satellites talking. The app guides satellite placement, shows speeds and connected devices, creates guest access and pauses the internet. WPA3, automatic updates and Advanced Router Protection are included; NETGEAR Armor costs extra. The 2-pack lists at $549.99, and NETGEAR was running a holiday sale when we checked. It costs more than eero 7 for similar per-home coverage claims, but the satellite design suits larger floor plans.
