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 ...

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

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

Perfect Setup for a 3000 sq ft home
The setup has worked superbly for my two story 3000 sq ft home. No more dead spots anywhere in the house.

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

Best Ever
This is my third Orbi system, the 970. My speeds are twice as fast as on my previous 850. I have over 52 devices in my home which all run effortlessly on this new system. I highly recommend it

Excellent Wi-Fi Speed and Coverage
After setting-up via the orbilogon.com connection, the system works perfectly. Some initial issues with the mobile app were frustrating, but were resolved using the direct connection. Great coverage on all floors and exterior devices.

Great router
Upgraded from an 850 to the 970. With the two 10gb ports, I am now able to utilise my full isp network speeds without the bottleneck. Setup was quick and simple. No issues with the 88 wireless IoT devices connected. Bitdefender, a global leader in cybersecurity, is built in at the router level, which is a huge plus for security. NETGEAR is always top quality and the bes...

OMG (just buy it) only hurts paying for it lol
I just had to Finley upgrade from my older BR50 units to this one, simply amazing, took about 30 mins to get it all set up!
We have over 72 devices in our home and this new 970 can handle 200 :-)

Game Changer
I've been struggling with a TP-Link Deco 6E system for a few years, and even a total of 5 units could not achieve whole home coverage. Just installed the Orbi 970 3 pack, and the entire home is covered at high speeds approaching the maximum provided by my ISP. The Ring doorbell works, the cars install their software updates in the garage, there is WiFi in the back yard....

Orbi 970
Product working great so far. Easy setup and integration into my existing system. Network speed increased by a factor of 8 due to the limits of my old mesh system.

Love the wifi
Noticed a huge difference in my speed and the coverage of my 10,000 sq ft house as soon as installed including my exterior ring cameras. Would highly recommend the system as it made a huge difference to me. Before the installation I had dead spots in the house and poor connectivity with my ring cameras.
