from $799.99
The NETGEAR Orbi 870 BE21000 is a two-piece, white mesh Wi-Fi system designed to provide comprehensive wireless coverage throughout your home. This system utilizes Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) tri-band technology across 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz frequencies, delivering a combined throughput of 21,000 Mb/s for high-speed connectivity. Featuring a Quad-Core 1.5 GHz CPU and 2GB of RAM, it supports demanding network activities and includes a 10 GbE WAN port on the router and multiple 2.5 GbE LAN ports on both units for robust wired connections.
Match the router's capabilities to your home's square footage and your ISP's internet speed. For homes over 2500 sq ft or with multiple floors, mesh systems are far superior to single high-powered routers. Available from $799.99.
Routers have an extremely low cost of ownership, drawing minimal continuous power. There are no consumables, and hardware generally lasts until technological obsolescence requires an upgrade.
Common Failure Modes
Hardware failures are rare; usually, issues stem from firmware glitches, overheating, or power surge damage. Most units are simply replaced rather than repaired when they fail.
