More than the latest member of the Orbi family, the Orbi 370 mesh Wi-Fi system breaks new ground for those looking for economical home networking that still delivers the data. Small enough to fit in places where its larger siblings can’t, the Orbi 370 series offers more bang for the networking buck than the Orbi 770, 870 and 970 mesh routers. Its dual-band design may lack access to the high-performance 6 GHz data band and with it the high speed data flow that Wi-Fi 7’s 320 MHz data channels offer, but the Orbi 370 members deliver reliable data at surprisingly sprightly wired and wireless speeds.
