I used to have an AC 2200 Wi-Fi mesh 6 system and it was in EOS. I noticed several issues because of this and decided to invest in the Netgear 770 mesh Wi-Fi 7 system. After I completed the install, I performed several speed test and noticed my upload speed and download speed were significantly greater. The 770 series gave me complete whole house Wi-Fi coverage with one satellite. The Support Center was even able to transfer my armor subscription over to the new system. I couldn’t be happier.
Very happy, full signal strength everywhere on my property and beyond
I would recommend this to a friend!

Posted by: Poor mesh performance
I have had his system for almost a year. I live in a 2,800 sq/ft, wood, 2 story home with fiber internet with 1GB upload and download speeds. This mesh system is horrible. Even when the Orbi app says I am getting excellent internet speeds I have to constantly reboot the system. The system is supposed to provide coverage for a 5500 sq/ft home, but I constantly have weak wifi signal. I don't know if I just got a bad pair, or what, but this has been a complete waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought a 2pack 770 series to upgrade my exiting orbi that was no longer supported.Very easy to s/u from start to finish only took 45 minutes. Coverage is phenomenal in my two story house. The satellite I plugged in my nas with ease. Works as described!
Nick Gear could have made the install a whole lot easier by encouraging me to retain prior password settings. It was a plan to have to re-login every connected device. Also, we had daily outages for about a week after setting it up.

Very easy to install. The only problem I had were the 4 TVs, 5 Alexa's, 2 ipads, 2 computers and all the appliances in the kitchen which all had to have the Wireless password changed. But its all fine.
