What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly view the NETGEAR Orbi 960 Series as the benchmark for residential mesh networking, focusing on its superior speed and reliability. Users consistently report that this system delivers blazing fast, stable Wi-Fi 6E performance across large, complex homes, effectively resolving connectivity gaps left by other systems.

Know before you buy
The Quad-band design includes a dedicated backhaul channel that keeps data traffic between the router and satellites separate from your device traffic. This prevents congestion and ensures your Wi-Fi speeds remain fast and stable, even when many devices are connected at once.
The Orbi 960 is fully backward compatible. While it utilizes the new 6GHz band for Wi-Fi 6E devices, it also supports older standards on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, so your existing laptops, phones, and smart home gadgets will connect without issue.
The 10 Gig port allows you to take full advantage of multi-gigabit internet plans from your service provider. It ensures that your router is not a bottleneck, allowing you to distribute ultra-fast speeds throughout your home to wired devices or high-bandwidth wireless clients.
Yes, this system allows you to create up to four separate networks. This is a great way to isolate IoT devices or guest traffic from your main network, which improves both security and overall performance.
With a 3-pack configuration covering up to 9,000 square feet, this system is designed to handle large, complex layouts. The mesh technology helps push signals through obstacles, though placement of the satellites is key to maintaining a strong backhaul connection.
Certified Refurbished units have been inspected, tested, and restored to meet NETGEAR's performance and quality standards. They are a reliable way to get high-end networking hardware at a lower price point compared to buying brand new.
