With the rise of faster multi-gig internet speeds now available
to more households, the growing number of connected devices per
family and the ever-increasing growth of bandwidth-intensive
applications such as 4K/8K video streaming, HD Zoom calls,
graphics-focused work, highly interactive real-time gaming and
immersive AR/VR entertainment, the need for faster WiFi speeds,
lower latency and more capacity becomes imperative. Enter WiFi 7.
While WiFi 6E opened the 6GHz band as a superhighway for the
latest, fastest devices, WiFi 7 builds on that promise by expanding
the channels to 320 MHz and unleashing unprecedented speeds and
performance. The Orbi 970 Series maximizes the potential of the new
standard with innovative, new technology that ensures the benefits
are delivered throughout the home, from the front door to the
backyard, across all devices simultaneously.
Unmatched speeds, ready for the future
Orbi’s exclusive, patented Quad-Band technology and unique
Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul ensure WiFi stays fast across all
devices. Setting Orbi apart from competitors, NETGEAR configures
multi-link operation (MLO), a feature of WiFi 7, to create Enhanced
Dedicated Backhaul which combines a dedicated 5 GHz band with a 6
GHz band to double the connection speed between the router and
satellites and achieve 10 Gig wireless backhaul for reduced
latency, and data delivery with maximum speed. The system’s Smart
Connect feature also intelligently selects the fastest WiFi band
for each connected device.
The router features a 10 Gig internet port as well as one 10 Gig
and four 2.5 Gig Ethernet ports, to achieve the fastest speeds
available today. The new, elegant, cylindrical bodies of the
routers and satellites are purposefully designed for optimal
performance while gracing the home with their slim profile and
smaller overall footprint to fit unobtrusively on a desk,
entertainment unit or shelf. They feature 12 high-performance
internal antennas with high-powered amplifiers for 360-degree, wall
to wall, front to back coverage.
“The Orbi 970 Series is another major milestone in delivering
the extraordinary power of our patented Quad Band technology across
the whole home – from the wine cellar to the game room to the
backyard grill – with speeds up to 2.4x faster than WiFi 6,” said
David Henry, president & GM of Connected Home Products and
Services at NETGEAR. “We’ve combined our extensive RF (radio
frequency) expertise and new patented technology with the features
of WiFi 7 to provide the fastest WiFi speeds, ensuring anything and
everything connected to the Orbi 970 system operates at optimal
performance even across the most demanding smart homes.”
Valuable Services
The kit comes with one year of NETGEAR Armor™ Powered by
Bitdefender® 2, providing an automatic shield of security for
connected devices. Unlike traditional endpoint antivirus products,
Armor is built into the router as an all-in-one security solution
to monitor activity going to and from the internet, protecting
computers, security cameras, baby monitors and other IoT devices on
the network and flagging external threats and nefarious outbound
activities from IoT devices while eliminating the need for multiple
security subscriptions or software.
Orbi 970 Series also comes with NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls™
to easily manage kids’ time online across their connected devices
and promote good online habits for the family. Basic features are
available free of charge. A subscription fee applies for a Premium
Plan after a 30-day trial.
The NETGEAR Orbi app also enables convenient setup of the router
and satellites, and access to the router features for network
management from anywhere – at home or afar.
Need more coverage, look no further
The new Orbi 970 Series mesh system (3 pack) covers up to 10,000
square feet – 10 percent more than the Orbi 960 Series --and
supports up to 200 devices. To extend coverage, extra satellite(s)
can be added. Each add-on satellite increases the coverage of an
existing Orbi 970 system by up to 3,300 square feet and each has
one 10 Gig and two 2.5 Gig Ethernet ports to unlock unbeatable
speed and reliability on more wired devices, making true multi-gig
WiFi a reality.
