Highlights
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Mesh System: true (A single wireless network consisting of a main router (connected directly to a modem) that connects to a series of satellite modules or nodes placed around the home. Routers with this capability promote stronger, faster wireless signals as well as increase Wi-Fi coverage by reducing interference and eliminating dead zones.)
- Number of Wi-Fi Satellites Included: 3 (Quantity of Wi-Fi satellite modules/nodes for a Wi-Fi Mesh System that come with the product.)
- Number Of LAN Ports: 5 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wi-Fi Speed: 27.0 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)

For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Ethernet Standard: 10/100/1000/10000 (Each standard is a variation of the IEEE 802.3 set of computer networking technologies known as Ethernet. New versions evolved to include higher bandwidth, different physical media, and other new and improved features. Standards are often denoted by speeds (in Megabits per second). For example, a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Reliability at its core!
Pros: Setup Instructions: A LAN connections: A Ease of Use: A System GUI: A Reliability: A Speed: A Cons: Checking for updates: B Price: C After upgrading my internet to 2/2Gbps fiber, I also wanted to upgrade my mesh network to fully take advantage of the speeds available in my fiber plan and as a secondary measure to future proof for Wi-Fi 7. I tried the TP Link Deco 16000 which is quad band and also Wi-Fi 7 ready. I had so many problems with that system, specially constantly disconnecting for the service and reach of signal. I even bought an additional satellite (BE95) and still was having issues with signal in a 2326 sq. ft one floor home. After about 3-4 months I finally gave up and decided to try the Orbi 970. I must say I am impressed, I have not had a single signal drop since I switched over and my speeds are just above the 2/2gbps according to my fiber plan. Also, the 3 towers provide me enough signal outside of the home (compared to the 4 DECO towers) for my cameras to work fast and efficient, even when checking remotely away from my home which the DECO also lacked due to signal degradation. The GUI for the Orbi is straight to the point and easy to navigate through. Overall, I’m truly impressed with this mesh system, its reliability, and signal reach. The 2 things is dislike are the high price, and when you check for updates the app locks-up in that page checking for updates between 2-5 minutes and not allow you to do anything until the system informs you whether there’s an update or not. At the end, you truly get what you pay for and that’s a reliable system… as it should be! Definitely recommend this system compared to others.

Worth the extra money
Spent a little extra to future proof the technology. Very happy with the router and satellites. We are getting speed we hadn’t seen from our ISP and was very easy to set up. One small hiccup due to settings the ISP required, but netgesr support is easy to work woth and followed up the next day to make sure it was resolved and still working well.
