Mesh Mess
Limited control over the functions of the router; you have to pay, monthly, to keep the mesh function.

Amazing
I upgraded from the Eero to the 970, and I must say, I’ve received an incredibly fast and stable system. I’m getting over 1GB of speed throughout my entire house.

Quad Band = Multi Lane Turnpike
One of the best decisions to upgrade my Orbi mesh system with the new Orbi 970! Every inch is the home covered and the speed is incredible.

Best Mesh for large house
With Google WiFi 5 system, needed five hotspots to cover 5000 sq feet, 3 story house, and was still limited to 100mbps in the basement. With Orbi 970, 3-pack is enough for the whole house and am getting 1000 mbps in the furthest corner of the house.
Orbi 970 is a must have for full coverage of a big house if you have a multi-gigabit ISP

Pretty powerful
Powerful but does lack some of the advanced router features Orbi used to have. Like not broadcasting certain SSIDs, so they can stay connected but be hidden from the neighborhood. Otherwise, as my fourth iteration of Orbi Mesh, I’m pretty pleased

Orbi 970
Very satisfying purchase. I recently acquired a 10gbe and this router mesh has allowed to utilize it to the maximum both on speed and coverage.

Excellent mesh setup
I upgraded from another Wi-Fi mesh system because of degraded streaming, buffering and gaming lag. This change has been an unbelieve change. I'm able to stream several security cameras, 10 TVs, and have 3 gamers in the house. No slow-downs, buffering, nada. I've had Orbi mesh systems in the past and I don't know why I changed to someone else, but I won't make that mist...

Excellent WIFI7 Mesh System
Just upgraded from the Orbi WIFI 6 850 series to the new WIFI7 970 series. Wow, what a difference! The 10Gb and 2.5Gb LAN connections are a great improvement and the speed of the wireless connection between my two satellites has doubled, from about 450Mbs with the old system to about 900Mbs with the new 970 series. Set up was fairly easy and the web interface remains...

Excellent Upgrade for large property and detached metal shop
After four years with our Netgear Orbi AX6000 Wi-Fi 6 mesh system (router/4 satellites), we upgraded as we updated our electronics. While a competitor’s high-end system from a large online shopping website offered excellent speed and reliability in our house, it couldn’t reach our metal shop 30 feet away—something our old Orbi managed, though not perfectly. We switched ...

Easy Set Up, Great Range
Very happy with the system - now have seamless internet in our space (about 5K sqft). Previously had had issues with concrete walls in our old building - no longer an issue.

Clearly a State-of-the-Art System
The Orbi 970 was easy to set up and has enabled faster download speeds and WiFi is fully accessible in the far corners of our home as well as outdoors where our pool equipment is. The devices are relatively large compared to other “extenders” we have had, likely to allow for their superior reach. Everything is very well-built and built to last.

Fast and Easy To Setup
This is my second Orbi Mesh device, and it's by far the best. Very fast, and the wireless backhaul is not a bottleneck like most

The best mesh WiFi option out there!
I moved on from a competitors mesh Wi-Fi system and wish I did earlier. The Orbi 970 is worth every penny. Seamless integration, amazing WiFi distance and superb stability!

Awesome mesh setup
Everything is great although the 2.4 network by itself needs some polishing
