Netgear's Orbi Wi-Fi 7 family expands with the new 370 series, which boasts speeds of up to 3.6 Gbps. And while this is lower than the 970 series (see our news on the Netgear Orbi Wi-Fi 970, the new Wi-Fi 7-compatible system), the good news is that this solution is significantly more affordable.

Backward compatible with Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E standards, Wi-Fi 7 naturally offers faster data transfer speeds and reduced latency. In addition, Multi-Link Operation (MLO) technology ensures network reliability by combining the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands simultaneously. The multi-gig Internet port (2.5 Gbps) is compatible with multi-gig fiber/cable offers from ISPs, and the presence of 2.5 Gbps Ethernet ports on the router and its satellites allows for a high-performance wired connection.
Netgear Orbi 370 Series, home network security££££
Also note the presence of cutting-edge firewall protection and advanced technologies against emerging cyber threats, all supported by real-time security updates. For example, the device comes with a 30-day free trial of Netgear Armor, developed in partnership with Bitdefender. The service protects all devices in the home (computers, cameras, baby monitors, connected objects, etc.) directly via the router.
