Things people ask before they buy.
Straight answers. No jargon.
Orbi 870 is built for larger or multi-story homes. The 2-pack covers up to 6,000 sq. ft., while the 3-pack covers up to 9,000 sq. ft. Actual coverage varies based on your home's layout, walls and construction.
Choose the 2-pack for larger homes, with coverage up to 6,000 sq. ft. Choose the 3-pack for large or multi-story homes, with coverage up to 9,000 sq. ft. Actual coverage varies, and you can add a compatible Orbi 870 Series satellite later.
Plug it in, then follow the app to add it to your existing Orbi 870 network. Most households are up and running in minutes.
It works with Orbi 870 Series routers and systems: 2-Pack (RBE872) and 3-Pack (RBE873, Black Edition RBE873B). It joins your existing network, so there is no separate network to manage.
Yes. Tri-band WiFi 7 gives gaming, streaming and video calls room to run together, while 2.5 Gig Ethernet provides a fast wired option for a console or PC. Actual performance depends on your internet plan, device and network conditions.
Orbi 870 uses WiFi 7 Multi-Link Operation (MLO) across its 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands to keep communication between the router and satellites fast, and every satellite has 2.5 Gig Ethernet for optional wired backhaul. A separate band used only for backhaul is exclusive to Orbi 970.
No. Advanced Router Protection, WPA3 encryption and automatic updates are included from setup. Optional NETGEAR Armor™, powered by Bitdefender, extends protection across connected devices, privacy and personal data.
Yes. WiFi 7 is backward compatible, so devices using earlier WiFi generations can still connect. WiFi 7 devices can use the newest capabilities, while speed and performance vary by device.
