Choosing a NETGEAR router

NETGEAR’s range splits into Nighthawk routers and Orbi mesh systems, both now available with Wi-Fi 7.

Orbi’s tri-band and quad-band kits keep a band for the link between units, which is why they suit very large homes. Some advanced features, such as Armor security, need a paid subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Nighthawk or Orbi?

Nighthawk is NETGEAR's standalone router range; Orbi is its mesh range. Pick Orbi for larger homes and Nighthawk for one strong router.

Do NETGEAR routers need a subscription?

Basic routing and Wi-Fi don't. NETGEAR Armor security and the advanced Smart Parental Controls are paid subscriptions.

What do Orbi model numbers mean?

Higher numbers sit higher in the range: the Orbi 970 is the top Wi-Fi 7 system, the 870 and 770 step down, and the 370 and 360 are the entry kits.
