Orbi 970 Series Quad-Band WiFi 7 Mesh Router (RBE971SB)

I have the BE9500 from previously netgear orbi 971 after it started boot looping, but I’m happier with the TP-Link.

i use Netgear Orbi 970 i love it.

Was mentioned over on the community forums that enabling WPA3 only on the 970 seemed to solve the newer iPhone generation issue of connections. [https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-orbi-be/i-finally-found-a-solution-to-fixing-the-orbi970-iphone-wifi-disconnecting-issue/2458460](https://community.netgear.com/discussions/en-home-orbi-be/i-finally-found-a-solution-to-fixing-the-orbi970-iphone-wifi-disconnecting-issue/2458460) Something you could try and see if this helps what you're seeing.

When I bought my own house, I ran into the problem, that the main stream fancy brands had nothing in their product portfolio, that would meet my requirements (2.5 GBit fiber connection and I wanted a 2.5 Gbit network in my house). Ended up with Netgear Orbi 970 with 3 Satellites (192 m² house, one satellite is in my garage). Yes, it is expensive as hell, but it outperforms everything I've used by miles. When I build my new computer and hadn't connected the network cable and was running on WLAN only, I still had 2.2 GBit/s download speed, which was insane. Gaming with that setup is a dream.

I recently went through an upgrade and went with the orbi 970 system and didn’t like it. I returned it and went with a full UniFi setup and couldn’t be happier I did. I went with cloud gateway fiber and a pro-max 16 PoE switch and then U7-PRO XGS access points. I’ll add another switch later when I install all of the cameras.

I switched from flagship Orbi to mid to high range TP and never looked back. TP just works.

I have an Orbi 970. Thought it was garbage and bought ubiquiti. Turns out it was my modem that was having issues. Been wanting to sell it for a while now.

We run the Orbi 970 in our home and it is fantastic. We are high usage people. We have a large house, and it covers completely along with our outside pool area. My sister has the 770 and it does just as well for her situation, which sounds about, like the OP situation.

The problem that I had with this router is how it handles IOT devices. It had constant connection issues with any cameras, doorbells, home hubs, ect. I tried all of the recommended setting changes and none of them worked. I ended up upgrading to a Netgear Orbi 970 and haven’t had a single issue since. My internet speeds are significantly better now too.

I have orbi 970s that work fantastic. They pulled multi-gig throughput over wireless backhaul and now I have them wired with 10g backhaul.
