NETGEAR Orbi 770 RBE773 WiFi 7 Mesh System 3 Pack

Overview

NETGEAR's Orbi 770 (RBE773) ships as a router plus two satellites, a tri-band wifi7 mesh set rated up to 8,000 sq ft and 11 Gbps for larger homes.

It is built to expand: NETGEAR sells additional 770-series satellites separately, each adding roughly 2,750 sq ft, so a multi-story or oversized home can grow the network node by node rather than replacing the whole kit. A 2.5 Gig port lets it use internet plans faster than standard gigabit, and Netgear Armor security ships with a 30-day trial before it becomes a paid add-on.

• Tri-band wifi7, up to 11 Gbps and 100 devices
• Router plus 2 satellites cover up to 8,000 sq ft
• 2.5 Gig port, compatible with any ISP modem
• Expandable via extra 770-series satellites, ~2,750 sq ft each

Who it's for

Large or multi-story homes with 100 or more devices and an internet plan that benefits from a 2.5 Gbps port. Less suited to anyone who doesn't want an ongoing security subscription after the trial ends.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Tri-band radios with what NETGEAR calls Enhanced Backhaul are meant to hold speeds steady even with many devices connected at once, and the 2.5 Gig port lets the system pass through faster-than-gigabit ISP plans. The Orbi app handles setup and ongoing device management, and NETGEAR ships automatic firmware updates and basic router protection turned on by default.
