NETGEAR has unveiled its latest WiFi 7 devices, including the Orbi 770 Tri-Band Mesh System and two standalone routers, the Nighthawk RS600 and RS200. These products combine cutting-edge technology with powerful performance and advanced security, catering to homes of all sizes and budgets.
WiFi 7, the newest generation of wireless connectivity, delivers speeds up to 2.4 times faster than WiFi 6 while offering near-zero latency and enhanced capacity to handle the growing demands of smart homes. The technology supports seamless connectivity for high-bandwidth activities such as 4K video streaming, gaming, and AI-driven applications. As adoption of WiFi 7 accelerates, driven by devices like the iPhone 16, NETGEAR aims to make this next-generation technology more accessible.
David Henry, President and General Manager of Connected Home Products at NETGEAR, emphasised the transformative potential of WiFi 7, saying,
“Our latest products empower households to experience the future of connectivity while ensuring robust network security to protect their digital lives.”
The Orbi 770 Tri-Band Mesh System is designed to provide whole-home coverage with blazing-fast speeds of up to 11Gbps. Capable of supporting up to 100 connected devices across 540 square meters, the system is ideal for modern smart homes. It combines 5GHz and 6GHz bands through Multi-Link Operation to improve reliability and reduce latency, while a 2.5 Gig internet port unlocks the full potential of multi-gig internet plans. Its sleek, cylindrical design houses four high-performance internal antennas, ensuring optimal coverage in any layout. Additional features like preamble puncturing help minimize interference, maintaining a stable connection for demanding applications.
For those seeking standalone router options, NETGEAR has expanded its Nighthawk portfolio with the RS600 and RS200, offering customisable performance for a variety of needs. The RS600 delivers speeds of up to 18Gbps and covers 250 square meters, supporting up to 150 devices, while the RS200 offers 6.5Gbps speeds and coverage for 185 square meters, accommodating up to 80 devices. Both models feature omni-directional internal antennas, robust security, and simple management through the Nighthawk App, making them versatile solutions for different household sizes and budgets.
NETGEAR places a strong emphasis on security, equipping its devices with advanced features such as automatic firmware updates, WPA3 encryption, and VPN support. Each product also includes a 30-day trial of NETGEAR Armor Powered by Bitdefender, an integrated security service that provides real-time threat detection and protection for all connected devices. Unlike traditional antivirus software, Armor is built directly into the router, offering a seamless layer of protection without requiring multiple subscriptions. For families, Smart Parental Controls make it easy to manage children’s online activities and encourage healthy internet habits.
These devices are now available on NETGEAR.com.au and at major retailers. The Orbi 770 Tri-Band Mesh System is priced at AU$1,499.00 for the three-pack, while the RS600 and RS200 routers are available for AU$799.00 and AU$449.00 respectively.
With its latest WiFi 7 lineup, NETGEAR continues to redefine home connectivity, delivering faster speeds, greater reliability, and enhanced security to meet the evolving needs of the digital age.
