Netgear launches new Orbi and Nighthawk Wi-Fi 7 routers

Netgear is debuting two new Wi-Fi 7 products today, led by the Orbi 770 mesh system. The 770’s core router is equipped with four 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports, while each mesh extender has two, with support for creating a wired backhaul. As for the actual Wi-Fi, though, you get a tri-band network with up to 11Gbps of total bandwidth, and 320MHz channels on the 6GHz band that can potentially double bandwidth for devices that support Wi-Fi 7. There’s also extra bandwidth for Wi-Fi 7 devices connected to 240MHz channels on the 5GHz band.
