I compared the Orbi 850 Wifi 6 Wireless Backhaul to the Orbi 970 Wifi 7 Wireless Backhaul here: czcams.com/video/p53-l4HzyyA/video.html - got improved speeds!
Even says on their fucking website the 970s only dedicated 6G backhaul
Actually the 850 only have a 2.4g dedicated backhaul
AX6000 Tri-Band WiFi : 2.4GHz (1200Mbps†) + 5GHz (2400Mbps†) for WiFi devices to connect to the Internet. 2.4 Gbps (1200Mbps†) dedicated WiFi link for faster data connections between Orbi Router and Orbi Satellite
Says it right here in specs
@@denniscraft7364 buy the product first and you will see while the 970 has a *dedicated* 5Ghz backhaul band it can also use 5Gz+6Ghz, the 850 did use 2.4 GHz which is a more congested band
@@TheChanClanLife I already owned the product
@@TheChanClanLife this product is way overpriced and not even a true 10 Gbps experience. The satellites only have three ports, and only one of them is 10 Gbps. Considering how expensive this is it’s really appalling that Netgear cheap out and Nerf the satellites that are $900 extra per add-on! I think I’m gonna go with the BE95 from TP-Link because they didn’t Nerf the satellites.
By next year you'll find a tp link deco kit that'll do the same job for a third of the price!
I just replaced my old Orbi with the TP-Link Deco AXE5400 6E with 6GHz wireless backhaul and getting speeds in the 800's paying for a Gig. It only cost $400 on Amazon for the 3pk.

Lmao 💯😂😂😂
$2300.... LOL. I can hire guys to run Cat6 in my house for that price.
To 200 devices though?
For hundreds of devices at 2.5 and 10Gig?
@TheChanClanLife Your crazy! I will wait for eero max 7, because I know they work the way they are supposed to. I tried TP-LINK BE85 and couldn't get 2.5gig on a wired connection with cat8 cable. Also could not 2.4gig wirelessly. The most speed I got wirelessly with TP-LINK BE85 on 6E was 500mb. My eero pro 6E I get 1.6gig wirelessly.
@@TheChanClanLifeAlso no one is going to 200 devices connected to internet at the same time.
Prohibitive Expensive!! You're correct when you say it's not for everyone.
Looking forward to these being tested against the new Eero Max 7.
Dude, they literally locked DDNS behind a pay wall. I’ll never buy an Amazon WiFi system product because of that. there’s far better options for Wi-Fi seven that don’t pay key features. I don’t mind paying certain things, but features on a flagship expensive purchase, just no.
My eero shut down on me after 3 years. I was paying for 500 mbps and my eero was pushing 100 mbps 🤦🏾♂️. That's why I got the netgear orbis now.
house built in 2019, had it built with cat 6 throughout the house and the node is in my driveway. I have the 850's and have ATT fiber gigabit (in passthrough). Nothing else is available here. Latency is 4-7ms. already with 972 up/down avg. Not sure why I would need an upgrade if I wouldn't get a bump in speed or latency, especially at $2300.
If you have new WiFi devices, like IPHone 15, Samsung Galaxy, and newer windows notebooks taht support WiFi 6E (6ghz band)... then you will get a boost from Orbi 850 to Orbi 960, since your 850 only supports 5Ghz, but the 970 supports 6Ghz. So you can get that Gigabit to your iPhone now (Before, your speed test probably maxes out at like 700Mbps, right?)
@@henrydav No, and even where I live on cellular I hit 801 with a Z Fold 5. And in my home my hard wired connection holds 972 with ease. 1 Router 2 satellite's.
When you say you had your house built with cat 6, do you mean you just have a lot of ethernet cat 6 cables? Or is there something else that is required to unlock the benefit of that? Aside from modem/router.
@realScottThomas nothing in my house is cat 5E or less, in my walls or router or connected to any device. Everything is cat 6. Was an option with the homebuilder and I got lucky with the node placement.
I can’t wait mine be here tomorrow
Did you get it
Netgear likes to tout a wired backplane but I noticed that there was no mention of how to do this if you have 2 satellites. I guess one has to be wired and the other wireless?
I've ordered the 2 pack to replace a RAX120 WiFi 6 router with a AX6000 WiFi 6 extender. I've had issues with devices seeing each other that are not on the same WiFi device. And I have to regularly reboot the extender.
The Orbi 970 will allow me to do a wired backplane in a true mesh configuration which should eliminate all of my current issues.
You can wire them both. The Orbi 970 comes with 10Gig LAN, and 4 2.5Gig LAN. So connect as many satellites wired as you want. Or go wireless
You’re wrong the 960s only did 5G backhauled dedicated and then the new 970 do 5G and 6G dedicated backhaul go look it up
Correct, this is what we call "enhanced dedicated backhaul"... using the 6Ghz to supplement the dedicated 5Ghz backhaul... makes it even faster. That's a big difference between 960 and 970
Yes, it is expensive, but that is the price you pay for new technology and being an early adopter. However, what I find unacceptable and downright CHEAP! is Netgear downgrading the satellites ethernet ports to only three, from the previous generations four. Why could you not just have four (4) 2.5G ports, instead of one 10g and two(2) 2.5G. This is infuriating. Also, you are telling me that I have to pay for parental control feature. I can although not customer friendly tolerate having to pay for "Armour" but charging for parental Control features is downright sad and appalling. Cone on Netgear, you make good products, don't cheap out on what is suppose to be your professional line of products. great review, you got a new subscriber from it.
Winner winner!!! I said the same damn thing! It’s deplorable and downright insulting that the satellites don’t have at least 2 10 gig ports for wired backhaul and a 10 gig LAN. It’s not like they have to worry about margins. This product is so overpriced for what they included..
Thanks for the video. Is there a fan inside like the TPlink wifi 7? If so, can you hear the fan noise?
Not sure there’s a fan, I think there isn’t because they are noiseless, I’m guessing a large heatsink the unit can get hot
So basically I’ll never lag when I’m playing on my PS5 again 💀😂
2k?! fuck that!
Yeah it's expensive. Amazon's Eero Wifi 7 will run ~600 each / $1700 as well... seems like Wifi 7 is gonna cost a ton for early adopters
Agreed ...
Good heavens ,... $2300???
At my income bracket I'd have to refinance the mortgage on my house to afford this just for a home WiFi system ....
Forget it! ....
Honestly I'm going to upgrade Wi-Fi 7 eventually once devices actually come out but I've always been more of a fan of wired internet I've wired my entire house with cat7a cables basically never have to worry about having amazing speeds in my lifetime every device in my house that has a lan port is connected wire even my three thermal printers I use for my business
Orbi 970 can support wired backhaul, so your satellites can have a blazing fast and reliable wired connection. then the connection from the Orbi to your devices can be either 2.4ghz, 5ghz, or 6ghz (fastest)...
@@henrydav like I said I will probably upgrade Wi-Fi 7 eventually in 2025 or 2026 Wi-Fi 7 won't even officially be out on the market until December of 2024 standards are still being finalize and hopefully that device will come down to more like $1,500 just food for thought I wired my entire house with with a mixture of cat7a and Cat 8 cables and it didn't cost me $2300 but again I am looking forward to Wi-Fi 7 for the few devices that can't be wired such as tablets and cell phones
Too bad the there’s not a lot of ports on the satellites.
Would this help ppl who only gets 150mbps at home?
If that’s the cap set by your provider you aren’t going to see any difference, if you have old cables and equipment that’s a different story.
WAIT FOR IT. WAIT FOR IT WIFI 8 COSTING $$$$$ 😅
Waiting mine! 👌🏻
It will also nag you or hold your system hostage until you subscribe to their cyber security.
There’s an annoying popup in the app but both netgear armor and parental control subscriptions are optional
Barking dogs driving me crazy!!
That is sooo not worth the money, because those satellites are not worth the price being so limited in the ports they have.
Didnt know orbi had this. Dog in background is a bit distracting.
Lol, that was my neighbors - what an inopportune time for the dog to go crazy
