Customer Ratings & Reviews

What a great powerful product. It is high quality and it performs as ot should. Very powerful with extended strength.

I've had four generations of Orbi systems. They have all had great reviews, but my experience was less than stellar. The support I received from Netgear was mostly exceptional. On occasion, when they couldn't figure out an issue, they would just stop responding, but eventually would get back to me. Prior to purchasing this new generation, the Orbi 970 series, I decided to contact Netgear once again to request help with a long time issue of my then current system, the Orbi 960 series. They were very responsive and created beta firmware for me to try. It resolved the issue. I was watching reviews of the Orbi 970 on YouTube and decided it would be a good fit for my needs. I bought the 3 pack at BestBuy as I have to cover 3 floors inside, and out to my garage. The 970 works like a charm. None of the previous issues I had have cropped up. I have a 1500Mbps fiber connection and I get 1300 to 1400 all over my house. As mentioned, I purchased this system at BestBuy. I know you can get them from many retailers, but for this price, I would only trust BestBuy. They have always stood behind what they sell. I ordered online to pick up in store. It was ready when I arrived and the process was as simple as it should be. If you are going to make a purchase for anything that BestBuy sells, don't hesitate. If you are going to make a purchase at the price the Orbi 970 goes for, don't take a chance buying anywhere else than BestBuy.

Amazing coverage and speed. Able to add cameras near my shed and front of my long driveway.

Returned item because it wouldn’t recognize that we had the internet cable connected. Kept telling me there was no internet. If I’m paying $2000 for something, and it doesn’t work right out of the box, a replacement would have eventually do the same thing. Im currently looking into different brands that have fewer issues.

Satellites keep on disconnecting, system should work perfectly at these high prices

Easy to set up. Takes a awhile as it updates firmware if needed. Great coverage.

I’ve been an Orbi fan for years. I’ve deployed them for small businesses. I had 2gb fiber line installed and wanted to upgrade to the 970’s for a while. I finally pulled the trigger and I am not disappointed. The speed is unbelievable. I get the most out of my devices and use the WiFi 7 for high end gaming. I highly recommend it especially for those of you that have internet speed over 1gb. Must have!!

Excellent wifi coverage and speed covers my whole house

I don’t typically write reviews, but my satisfaction with the Orbi 970 compels me to share my experience. I hope this review helps others in their decision-making process. After being a loyal Linksys fan for years, I recently upgraded to the Velop Pro 7. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Despite spending countless hours troubleshooting with Linksys tech support, I could never achieve the advertised Wi-Fi speeds. Frustrated, I decided to return the Velop Pro 7 and opted for the Orbi 970 after conducting thorough research. I’m thrilled with my decision! The Orbi 970 delivers exceptional Wi-Fi speeds and coverage throughout our 3,800 square-foot home and even extends well beyond the house. This mesh system has truly exceeded my expectations.

If you are considering the Netgear Orbi 7, I look at something else. The satallites continually lose contact with the main router, the firmwear seems to actually prevent devices from seamlessly jumping from one to the next within the environment (we often have to go into settings a reselect the router for it to connect appropriately when it moves from one environment to the next), by Netgear's own admission, they have a firmware sync issue with them and, finally, once you've owned them for 90 days, they will ask you for a credit card before talking to you for support.

Like many as tech continues to advance, always seem routers couldn’t keep up with demands and quantity of device accessing. Finally a router which delivers.

The feature set is not as powerful as other systems which combine WiFi access points with network router and security features. As a WiFi access point the product is excellent and stable. As a network router and security appliance the system is lacking. On network router, DHCP is missing customizable options such as custom internal DNS , missing VLAN and network segregation, it does have WLAN, IOT and Guest but missing ability to add more and assign different profiles to those network segments. On the security features, it is locked behind a pay wall. I already have a subscription for VPN for WireGuard/SurfShark and could assign different devices to be split tunneled with my old device. Can't do that with Orbi, I did not even want to try to subscribe to the paywall feature.

Absolutely fast. Easy setup. Best purchase for router!

We upgraded from Asus Zenwifi Ax Tri-band Mesh Wifi 6 to these for our office and it has been so good I just purchased these for my home

Replaced my Orbi 680 system. The speed is excellent. There is little to no buffering in the system now.

Upgraded from the 800 series—Wi-Fi 6. Easy transition and blazing speeds.

Great throughput, easy setup, and with my 100+ IOT nodes, this router makes everything work flawlessly. Expensive, but well-worth it to eliminate all my headaches.

Amazing Wi-Fi system, combining technology with Wi-Fi seven and mesh system

This Wi-Fi system is very expensive, but so far it works well. I have one foot in the grave, so this will be the last one I buy. I suggest you pay for the Geek Tech to install. I did and am sure glad I did.

Upgraded to the 970 series best thing ever have WiFi ran to a metal pole building 300 ft from house not even trying to drop before every other day would loose single now 3 weeks in and not lost signal once
