Netgear are one of the biggest names in the world when it comes to networking, from humble and affordable home products, to flagship networking behemoths that can deal with the latest connection technologies for large homes and many users, they’ve got a bit of something for everyone. While the Orbi 770 Series Tri-Band WiFi 7 Mesh we’re reviewing isn’t the top model of this range, it’s still pretty high up the list, offering the latest WiFi 7 and 2.5GbE, so it’s hardly lacking in features. However, we’ll be exploring what the more extreme Orbi 990 edition has to offer in the near future too!

The Orbi 770 Series promises to take your home networking to the next level, with it being a feature-packed tri-band WiFi 7 powerhouse, it can deliver incredible speeds of up to 11Gbps. Because it’s a mesh unit, meaning there are multiple routers that work together, three in this case, it can blanket your entire home with flawless WiFi. No more dead spots in your signal, so if you want to stream high-resolution video to the bathroom or the end of the garden, well, that shouldn’t be an issue. You no longer have to be near “the” router for the best WiFi as you’ll have three of them flanking your home for extreme network performance.

Beyond raw speed, the Orbi 770 is engineered for the modern digital home. A 2.5 Gig internet port unlocks the full potential of multi-gig internet plans, while multiple 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports provide wired connectivity for demanding setups and offer the option for a supercharged wired backhaul. Advanced security features, including NETGEAR Armor, provide peace of mind by safeguarding your network and connected devices from online threats. Many homes now have access to 1Gbps fibre or faster, so this is going to help unlock the full potential of those networks.

How WiFi 7 Works

WiFi 7, also known as 802.11be, is the latest generation of WiFi technology that elevates your home network to new heights. Unlike its predecessors, WiFi 7 utilises all three available bands – 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz – concurrently. This tri-band operation allows your devices to dynamically switch between bands, avoiding congestion and maximising speed. So rather than picking one WiFi, it just crams them all together for maximum speed.

One of the key innovations in WiFi 7 is “multi-link operation,” which allows devices to send and receive data across multiple bands at the same time. This not only increases overall throughput but also significantly reduces latency, making it ideal for demanding applications like online gaming, 8K streaming, and VR. WiFi 7 also introduces wider channels and improved modulation techniques, further enhancing speed and efficiency.
