Netgear Cuts Wi-Fi 7 Prices with Affordable Orbi 370 Mesh

Netgear has unveiled the Orbi 370 series, lowering the bar for Wi-Fi 7 adoption with models starting at $249.99. This mesh system targets households and small offices seeking faster, more reliable wireless connectivity without breaking the bank. Available as a two-unit kit with a router and one satellite, or a three-unit pack including two satellites, the Orbi 370 brings high-speed networking to more users than ever.

Affordable Entry to Wi-Fi 7

A two-pack—router plus one satellite—lists at $249.99, while the three-pack goes for $349.99. Additional satellites can be snapped on for $149.99 each, creating flexible coverage. Netgear promises speeds up to 5Gbps and integrated 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports on both router and satellites for wired gaming consoles, smart TVs, and workstations.

• Two-pack kit at $249.99 for smaller homes
• Three-pack bundle at $349.99 with two satellites
• Extra satellites available for $149.99 each

Multi-Link Operation for Enhanced Performance

Underpinning the Orbi 370’s performance is Multi-Link Operation (MLO), a Wi-Fi 7 feature that bonds 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. By distributing traffic dynamically across both channels, MLO delivers lower latency, faster downloads, and more consistent connections. Early tests suggest MLO can reduce jitter and help demanding applications like cloud gaming or video conferencing maintain peak quality.

• Dynamic bonding of 2.4GHz and 5GHz for optimal throughput
• Reduced latency for time-sensitive tasks
• Stable connections under heavy load

Seamless Compatibility and Futureproofing

While you’ll need Wi-Fi 7–capable devices to unlock peak speeds, the Orbi 370 remains backward compatible with Wi-Fi 4, 5, 6, and 6E. That means existing smartphones, laptops, and IoT gadgets can still benefit from improved range and stability. For premium devices that arrive later this year or next, this mesh system is already ready.

For growing families, remote teams, and smart homes, the Orbi 370 series packs advanced technology into a budget-friendly package. It stands as an enticing upgrade path for anyone ready to move past outdated routers and embrace next-gen networking.
