Blazing fast when it works, but cuts out/reboots too often. Random reboots everyday for 3 weeks, had to return.
When experiencing an issue where your Orbi WiFi System is rebooting, we recommend checking if all cables are properly connected and consider changing the Ethernet cable. If that doesn't help, power cycle the modem and your Orbi WiFi system as well as ensuring your RBE973S Router and Satellites are on the most recent firmware, v9.12.5.3: https://kb.netgear.com/000066513/RBE970-RBE971-Firmware-Version-9-12-5-3.
If you decide to repurchase the RBE973S or any other NETGEAR product and have any issues, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your contact information, and we will be happy to help you.

Good performance but far from good enough for the cost. Constant nags for add-on premium subscription. Very buggy, lots of random disconnections, especially on Android phone.

NETGEAR Orbi 970 works great. Only router that has Wi-Fi 7 to work with our new iPhone 16 Pro which also has Wi-Fi 7
Be on top of the latest technology.

I’m returning this as its horrible. I read all the reviews and most of them sounded promising so i decided to try them out. What a mistake! I was replacing my decade old Apple Airport Extreme routers but these orbi units are pure junk. Wifi calling doesn’t hold a connection and calls keep dropping, failed connections that keep coming or going. I played around with different channels and no improvement at all. I plugged in old Apple routers and everything works as it should until I find a better solution. Don’t waste your money.

Incredible powerful and stable system, I have a lot of devices on my system and theyre all running great, probably won’t have to worry abt upgrading for a long time

I purchased this product after having an older Orbi version. The struggles I am having is as follows:
1. With my prior Orbi my phones and other technology items never lost connection. With the Orbi 970, the phones and computers always lose connections. The wifi is no longer stable.
2. The instructions that came with the product are basically useless.
3. The Orbi 970 provides 2.4 GHZ, 5 GHZ, and 6 GHZ but there is no way to control which of your technology devices use one of these three options.
I feel this product is not the upgrade they claim. If I had to do it over again, I would not buy this Wifi 7 product. Very disappointed.

Good stuff. Way better than my eeros and I had five of them. They cost a few dollars but worth it.

Got two of these 3 pack Orbi 970s. Setup was a nightmare and buggy. Used the Satellites in wited backhaul and they kept disconnecting and losing signal. Also, the second router can only be used in AP mode without mesh technology. So you really need to buy the individual satellites if you need more than the 3 pack. For a product that cost $2000, you’d think that they would work. I ended up replacing them 2 days later for the Eero Max 7. The Max 7 has worked flawlessly.
