The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh router with 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. The mesh system is available in packs of two, three, and four. We bought and tested a two-pack, which includes the main router and one additional satellite node. Each unit has one 2.5Gbps WAN and one 2.5Gbps LAN port, housed in a slim white tower with internal antennas. You can set up and manage your mesh network from your phone using the Orbi app, though some advanced security features require a recurring subscription.
Note: We've removed the Wi-Fi coverage tests and are exploring better ways to convey the results that'll be more helpful to users.
Our Verdict
The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is a great router for apartments and condos. It delivers impressive top speeds and range, making it suitable for streaming 4k video and downloading large files quickly throughout smaller homes. Its slim form factor is unobtrusive in tight spaces, but with just two Ethernet ports per unit and no 6GHz band, it isn't suitable if you have many wired clients or newer devices with 6GHz capability.
Impressive top speeds on 5GHz.
Very good range.
Can add additional mesh satellites to improve coverage.
Low-profile, slim design.
Equipped with 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports.
Only one 2.5Gbps LAN port available on the router for hardwired devices (and one 2.5Gbps LAN on each satellite node).
No 6GHz band.
No functional MLO support.
Have to pay a recurring subscription fee to access advanced security and IoT features.
Only one LAN port per unit.
The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is a very good choice for multi-level houses. It's designed as a mesh Wi-Fi system that can be expanded with satellite access points to improve coverage in large homes. Its high speeds and range are well-suited for tasks like streaming movies, video calling, and downloading large files throughout your home. However, the inclusion of only two Ethernet ports per unit is limiting if you have many wired devices. While it lacks a 6GHz band, the Orbi's performance is still more than sufficient for most homes.
Impressive top speeds on 5GHz.
Very good range.
Can add additional mesh satellites to improve coverage.
Low-profile, slim design.
Equipped with 2.5Gbps Ethernet ports.
Only one 2.5Gbps LAN port available on the router for hardwired devices (and one 2.5Gbps LAN on each satellite node).
No 6GHz band.
No functional MLO support.
Have to pay a recurring subscription fee to access advanced security and IoT features.
Only one LAN port per unit.
The NETGEAR Orbi 370 delivers great overall speeds suitable for gigabit internet connections. That said, the Orbi's maximum speeds are held back by its lack of a 6GHz band, a common feature on Wi-Fi 7 routers.
Impressive top speeds on 5GHz.
No 6GHz band.
The NETGEAR Orbi 370 has good range. You can pair additional satellite nodes to expand your coverage for a whole-home mesh.
Very good range.
Can add additional mesh satellites to improve coverage.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is available to purchase in a two-pack, three-pack, or four-pack. You can also purchase individual satellite nodes to expand your mesh. We bought and tested the two-pack variant (RBE372), which includes the main router and one satellite. Here's a photo of our unit's label.
Popular Router Comparisons
The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is an entry-level dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh system. It features 2.5Gbps ports on both the router and satellite units, and it's faster than similar mesh systems like the eero 7 and TP-Link Deco BE25. Without a dedicated 6GHz band, the Orbi isn't as fast as tri-band options like the TP-Link Deco BE63 or the eero Pro 6e. Even so, the 370 remains a strong choice for an entry-level dual-band mesh system.
For an in-depth look at MLO (Multi-Link Operation) and how Wi-Fi 7 performs in real-world testing, see our full Wi-Fi 7 article.

The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is better than the eero 7. Both are dual-band Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems, but the NETGEAR delivers faster top speeds and better range than the eero. That said, the eero is physically smaller than the NETGEAR, making it easier to place. The Orbi 370 doesn't support MLO at all, whereas the eero 7 does, albeit in very limited capacity.
The TP-Link Deco BE63 is a better router than the NETGEAR Orbi 370. They're both Wi-Fi 7 mesh systems, but the TP-Link has a 6GHz band, while the NETGEAR doesn't. The TP-Link also delivers much faster top speeds, better range, and has four networking ports compared to the NETGEAR's two.
The eero Pro 7 delivers greater range and faster speeds than the NETGEAR Orbi 370. The eero's two 5Gbps Ethernet ports outperform the Orbi's dual 2.5Gbps connections, and while you can manage both of these systems from your mobile device, the eero Pro 7 doubles as a smart home hub with built-in Thread, Matter, and Zigbee support.
The eero Pro 6E is a better mesh router than the NETGEAR Orbi 370. The eero is a tri-band Wi-Fi 6E system with a 6GHz band, while the NETGEAR is a dual-band Wi-Fi 7 system. The eero delivers faster speeds and better range in a more compact design, though the NETGEAR is equipped with dual 2.5Gbps ports compared to the eero's one 2.5Gbps and one 1Gbps ports.

The NETGEAR Orbi 370 is a dual-band device, meaning it can't take advantage of the top speeds your Wi-Fi 6E and 7 devices can achieve with a 6GHz band.

This router is advertised to have Multi-Link Operation (MLO), but we weren't able to verify because it doesn't send beacon frames with the MLO information that client devices need.
