ROUTER VS. SATELLITE

Things people ask before they buy.
Straight answers. No jargon.
It works with Orbi 970 Series routers and systems: Router (RBE971S), 2-Pack (RBE972S) and 3-Pack (RBE973S), plus their Black Editions. It joins your existing network, so there is no separate network to manage.
It gives communication between the Orbi router and satellites its own band, so system traffic does not compete with your devices for the same space. That leaves more capacity for streaming, gaming, video calls and other connections, especially when your home is busiest.
The router covers up to 3,300 sq. ft., the 2-pack covers up to 6,600 sq. ft., and the 3-pack covers up to 10,000 sq. ft. Actual coverage varies based on your home's layout, walls and construction. You can add a compatible Orbi 970 Series satellite later.
Orbi 970 delivers combined WiFi speeds up to 27 Gbps and includes a 10 Gig internet port for multi-gig plans. The speed any one device sees will vary based on your internet plan, device capabilities, placement and network conditions.
Plug it in, then follow the app to add it to your existing Orbi 970 network. Most households are up and running in minutes.
Performance and features are identical. The only difference is the finish: black is available exclusively at NETGEAR.com.
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.
