NETGEAR, a leading name in networking solutions, has expanded its Orbi portfolio with the launch of the Orbi 770 Series Mesh System. This new offering aims to redefine home Wi-Fi experiences, promising faster speeds, extended coverage, and enhanced reliability to meet the growing demands of modern connected households.
While Wi-Fi 7 adoption is growing and new generations of smartphones, laptops, and other devices are hitting the market at a rapid pace, IoT threats are increasing and router security at the device level is critical to keep digital lives and homes protected.
“NETGEAR’s singular focus has always been to create and provide industry-leading solutions with powerful performance and secure Wi-Fi connectivity,” said David Henry, president and GM of Connected Home Products and Services at NETGEAR. “Our newest Wi-Fi 7 addition, Orbi 770, deliver these connectivity benefits to a wider audience, helping them experience unprecedented speed and performance on their devices and applications with the strongest possible security available today.”
Orbi Wi-Fi 7 Tri-band mesh system provides exceptional performance and lightning-fast speeds up to 11 Gbps for up to 100 devices across homes of up to 6,750 square feet with a 3 pack. It improves connection speeds by combining the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands using Multi-Link Operation for both front haul to connect to devices and backhaul to connect the router & the satellites. Its 2.5 Gig internet port unlocks the ability to fully experience the multi-gig internet speeds available today, making it future-proof for a new era of entertainment, hybrid work, and next generation devices and applications. The ample 2.5Gig LAN ports on the router and satellite can be used for multi-gig wired connections between the two or to connect a shared storage or a gaming PC/console.
The slim, cylindrical bodies of the Orbi router and satellites are purposefully designed for optimal performance and make them a subtle addition to any desk, shelf, or entertainment unit. Each unit features four high-performance internal antennas with high-powered amplifiers for 360-degree coverage, regardless of the home layout, from the front door to the back garden. Orbi 770 offers a robust Wi-Fi connection using preamble puncturing which selectively blocks interference for a stable connection, keeping the home network functioning flawlessly.
Home network devices see an average of 10 attacks on home networks every 24 hours, making it critical to safeguard your digital life starting at the router. Powered by state-of-the-art encryption protocols and advanced threat detection mechanisms, NETGEAR routers stand as the first line of defense against evolving cyber threats and include security features such as automatic firmware updates, VPN support, cutting-edge WPA3 security, access control, and guest Wi-Fi network options.
The Orbi 770 series will be the first product to have an additional layer of security with the new Advanced Router Protection feature, only available from NETGEAR. This feature protects the router from not only known threats but also from most unknown threats using a combination of AI heuristics and advanced exploit prevention to recognize and block exploitation attempts. Additionally, it enables the capability to quickly release live patches for threats without needing to wait for a new firmware release. This significantly improves response times compared to the traditional method of releasing firmware updates for each specific router model and further strengthens our commitment to provide industry leading security protection for our router/mesh products from cyberattacks. Advanced Router Protection which has been developed in partnership with Bitdefender will be rolled out to the rest of the Wi-Fi 7 lineup later this year.
For added protection, Orbi 770 include a 30-day trial for NETGEAR Armor Powered by Bitdefender, providing an automatic shield of security for connected devices and added privacy with VPN. Unlike traditional endpoint antivirus products, Armor is built into the router as an all-in-one security solution, protecting computers, security cameras, baby monitors and other IoT devices on the network and eliminating the need for multiple security subscriptions or software.
Both also come with NETGEAR Smart Parental Controls to easily manage kids’ time online across their connected devices and promote good online habits for the family. Basic features are available free of charge. A subscription fee applies for a Premium Plan after a 30-day trial.
The NETGEAR Orbi 770 Series is available now on NETGEAR.com/uk and at other major retailers subsequently.
