Netgear recently announced a new Wi-Fi 7 mesh router system called the Orbi 870, joining the pre-existing 970 and 770. The company says the latest system “offers the perfect balance of performance, coverage, and security.”

To that end, the Orbi 870 offers tri-band speeds of up to 21Gbps and all kinds of modern bells and whistles. It includes improvements such as support for the latest 320MHz bandwidth and 4K QAM, which squeezes more data into traditional transmissions. It looks like a pretty future proof router system.

Netgear also shows the reliability of this device, thanks to an improved backhaul that combines 5GHz and 6GHz in one band. Of course, there are many wired connection options here. There is one 10 gigabit internet port and four 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports on the router. In addition, each satellite includes four Ethernet ports.

As with most Netgear mesh systems, adjustments can be made through the Orbi app. It allows users to pause the internet, run speed tests, track usage and set up different networks for guests. This app also allows access to parental controls.

The Netgear Orbi 870 system is available in black or white. A three-pack that includes a router and two satellites costs $1,300, while a two-pack costs $1,000. Additional satellites can be purchased for $550 each. It’s expensive, sure, but an actual bargain in comparison .
