Netgear’s new Orbi mesh and Nighthawk routers are a cheaper way into Wi-Fi 7


The Wi-Fi 7 mesh network pack now starts under a grand.

Both routers will come with 2.5Gbps ports and the benefits of Wi-Fi 7, such as 320Mhz channels that can potentially double wireless bandwidth for compatible hardware, but with lower prices this time around. To get the benefit of the 320MHz channels, you’ll need a phone, laptop, or other device with Wi-Fi 7 capability connected to the 6GHz band. Netgear says it’s good for about 2,500 square feet of coverage (though that will always depend on where you put it and what’s in your home) and supports up to 100 devices.
