Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having been an early adopter of the Orbi 850 series, I was nervous due to the incessant issues with that system, Netgear Support, and firmware disasters. Having installed this new Orbi 970 systemm all has gone exceedingly well, including at least one firmware update. System speeds and solid connections are meeting my lofty expectations, and I can definitely recommend this much higher dollar upgrade.

Great mesh router. very happy with how it performs in our two-story house.

Though this thing would be amazing and all it did was some headaches. The towers are HUGE!!! Ended up returnaing it as the cost outweighed any benefit it had….just way over priced! Ended up going with linksys mesh 7 for $799….getting pretty much rhe same performance for a 1/3 of the cost. Maybe with a few firmware updates it will be a better product….I dont want to be a beta tester. Also the fact that they make you pay for support is absurd.

I was hesitant to buy this at first due to the cost. I watched the market for about 6 months and read many reviews. This unit is worth the hype. I pay for 1 Gbps and I realize 100% of that on multiple devices at the same time. I highly recommend.

Super easy to install. This system was an upgrade from a 9 year old Orbi mesh system. Orbi's are easy to install, manage and are highly reliable.

Love this system. Easy to install and gives great signal.

After using Google Wifi Mesh for years, I chose to go with something different that actually had a better plan for future wifi standards and support. Almost every single review pointed out the Orbi 970 Series as the best (and most expensive) wifi mesh. For me this is absolutely true and completely blows almost all others competition-wise out of the water. It's quad-band set up makes this work flawlessly. Two of these easily covers a two story 2600 sq ft home with no issues. This includes outside coverage in the yard, as well! All that said, it is extremely expensive. However, it's completely worth the price and is an exceptionally worthwhile investment.

Super stable and love the range that it covers. Live in a 3000 sq ft home, from our front yard to our backyard this thing has a massive coverage. Love its ease of use, pretty much plug n play. Hands down the best mesh system!

Great mesh system with good range. I have had no problems so far. Easy setup. You can’t go wrong with Netgear who make great products.

The Orbi 970 Series is really fantastic. It has helped out network be lightening fast.

This is bleeding edge technology for any home that needs an upgrade from wifi 5 or even wifi 6. The ease of use is there to make this a simple solution for any home with more than 40 devices connected together. While internet speed from your ISP is inportant, this is a solution for those who want a fast and relaibel internet connection for all devices. Ths cost is high, as the technology is not inexpensive to produce a router mesh sustem that maintains the connection between access points with a wireless connection that rivals a wired (ethernet) one. Bottom line: its a future proof system for those who want to get ahead and not have to worry about their hone internet becoming outdated or obsolete for the next several years.

I have had the prior 2 versions of the orbi mesh 3 node configuration. This is by far the worst that I have had. The 970 for $2k is a disappointment. I am an IT guy trying to resolve connection issues for 5 months. Connections drop across our house. As you move around our house, there is not seamless connection transfer across the nodes. I have had to reboot the router 3 times a day for weeks. The backbone is not consistent. I have place the router and satellites in the same positions and the previous generation and it is a step backwards, 10 steps backwards. The turning point on me leaving this review was was Netgears decision to make customer support so difficult. It took me 30 minutes to find the phone number to call for support questions. Awful. They don’t care about customer experience. I share to customer service that it may be a hardware issue and they didn’t care. Suggest I change the backbone channel. This is not Apple Support. It is Dollar Store Support.

The speed of the mesh network is amazing. And the ease of setup was nice. I do wish they would link with my other Orbi mesh network that is the WiFi 6E version.

This is a great upgrade to any previous Orbi systems and definitely superior to other mesh routers, however the price is ridiculous and cannot justify the performance difference compared to the 6E version. Save 1500 and buy the previous gen.

My 2 pack has been very solid so far. Great speeds and coverage with my 1gb connection.

Extremely reliable, wide coverage penetrates through walls above all well built

We upgraded our internet to AT&T Fiber 2GB up and down so we needed some faster Wifi mesh. We originally had our Orbi RBR750 which worked well when we had Spectrum, but they werent able to compete with the upload speeds AT&T offers. The new Orbi has better design and i love the ports on the back of each one! There is so much power in these that I am thankful they even make such monsters in Orbi. Thank you thank you!

I upgraded my current Netgear Gaming wifi router XR700 to this Netgear Orbi 970 Teo pack and W9W, what a difference. Had a slight issue trying to pair satellite to main router and called Netgear support who patiently guided me in resolving issue. Great product support.

This device has been exceptionally good after being installed, it replaced a previous older version. The WiFi range is far better than before and the speeds have been great. Would recommend this device to everyone.

Great item easy install really improved stability and coverage. Highly recommend even tho it's expensive
