Post by: Redaktion on July 29, 2025, 22:30:56
Netgear has launched a new WiFi mesh solution that supposedly provides high-performance internet access for large apartments or homes, with Ethernet connectivity also supported. Although the Orbi 370 is a WiFi 7 system, it does come with certain limitations.

So it is essentially WiFi 6.

No, you still get the other benefits of WiFi 7, even without 6GHz.

Depends. Many users are probably coming from WiFi 4/5 routers, in which case WiFi 7 without 6GHz can still be a decent upgrade.
