The Orbi 870 specifications include:

• Ultra-Fast WiFi 7 Tri-Band Speeds up to 21 Gbps
• Higher capacity and robust Wi-Fi — as part of the Wi-Fi 7 technology improvements
• Multi-link operation — two Wi-Fi bands can be combined at once for improved backhaul and fronthaul, improving network reliability, latency and speeds.
• 10 Gig Internet Port — the 10 Gig port can be used for multi-Gig cable and fibre plans.

All Netgear routers include standard security features such as automatic firmware updates, VPN support, cutting-edge WPA3 security, access control, and guest and IoT WiFi network options.  The Orbi 870 also includes Netgear’s Advanced Router Protection feature to protect the router from threats using AI and advanced exploit prevention.

It also enables the ability to quickly apply live patches for threats without having to wait for firmware updates to be rolled out. The Orbi 870 series also includes a 30-day trial of NETGEAR Armor™ Powered by Bitdefender to provide an additional automatic shield of security for connected devices and added privacy with VPN.

The Netgear Orbi 870 series also includes Smart Parental Controls to manage your kids’ time online. Some features of the app require a premium subscription.
