Netgear Unveils Orbi 970 Series, Bringing WiFi 7 Speeds to New Heights
Netgear, a leading provider of networking solutions, has introduced the Orbi 970 Series to address the surging demand for faster internet speeds. With the incorporation of WiFi 7 wireless networking, this new addition to the Orbi family pushes the boundaries of performance, enabling wireless internet speeds of up to a staggering 27 Gbps.
As households increasingly rely on faster and more reliable multi-gig internet speeds to accommodate the growing number of connected devices, Netgear recognizes the need for advanced WiFi technology. WiFi 7, building upon the foundation laid by WiFi 6E, expands channels to an impressive 320 MHz while delivering unprecedented speeds and performance. The Orbi 970 Series takes full advantage of this new standard, utilizing cutting-edge technology to ensure seamless connectivity throughout the home, meeting the demands of bandwidth-intensive applications and the ever-expanding array of smart devices.
One of the key features of the Orbi 970 Series is its Quad-Band technology and Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul. By leveraging multi-link operation (MLO), this system combines a dedicated 5 GHz band with a 6 GHz band, effectively doubling the connection speed between the router and satellites. This results in reduced latency and maximized data delivery speed, offering a superior user experience. The Smart Connect feature intelligently selects the fastest WiFi band for each connected device, optimizing performance.
The Orbi 970 Series router boasts a 10 Gig internet port along with one 10 Gig and four 2.5 Gig Ethernet ports, empowering users to experience the epitome of speed. Visually, the routers and satellites feature a sleek cylindrical design that not only complements any home decor but also ensures comprehensive coverage with 12 high-performance internal antennas and powerful amplifiers.
According to David Henry, President of Connected Home Products and Services at Netgear, 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 2.4 times faster than WiFi 6.
For those seeking extended coverage, the Orbi 970 Series mesh system (three-pack) covers an impressive 10,000 square feet and supports up to 200 devices. Additional satellites can be added to further expand coverage, with each satellite increasing coverage by up to 3,300 square feet and providing additional Ethernet ports for wired devices.
The Orbi 970 Series from Netgear offers users an opportunity to embrace the future of wireless networking with WiFi 7’s superior speeds and unmatched performance. With its innovative features and advanced technology, this new addition to the Orbi family ensures that consumers can keep up with the increasing demands for high-speed internet in a world reliant on connectivity.
