TBH, the Wifi 7 mesh system from TP link has pretty similar performance (upload was faster), but for less money. The TP link BE85 and BE95, sell for $500 and $600 respectively for each identical unit. Where as this sells for $2299 for a three pack, or $766 per unit, but only one that can act as the main router.
One issue I found with be85 and 95 is it has a bug that prevents large files to download using a browser at some point the download will fail . Mainly this happens on 6ghz or wired through a satellite router .
@@TechnologyandGaming602 Unfortunately, Wifi 7, has only been available here in Canada for a few weeks, and the new system costs almost twice as much as they do in the US. The 95's cost just shy of $2000 after taxes, for the 2 pack. So for now, I'll hold off on updating from 6e, until Bell releases it's 3 or 8 Gbps internet, in my area, when I can justify the costs to the wife.
Excelent Video! Insane speeds but the servers are not the same. One is Windstream and the other is Frontier. Either way, Ethernet will always be faster and more secure than WiFi. I'm very excited to see the review of Netgear Orbi 970!! 👍👍
Thanks! Yeah servers can change based on which one is under less load. My next video is the Deco PX50 which I finished a couple weeks ago but just haven’t edited the video. I should have the Orbi done next weekend or shortly thereafter but I’m done testing the Orbi already, need to film and edit for that. Moving onto Reyee E4
What internet service plan do you have from what internet service provider i have xfinity and i have there highest internet plan which is the 1200 mbps they are supposed to be rolling out docsis 4.0 cable modems that would give us 10gbps down and 6gbps up would the orbi 970 wifi 7 increase the internet speed.
Do not get be95. I bought and returned in 3 days. Their hardware seems good but their software sucks and worst is their customer service. You won't get speed at all over wifi and it fluctuates a lot as well
would this setup work in a scenario where I wanted to set up a NAS in a separate room for video editing? or is the wireless communication still to unreliable to trust on a premiere/davinci timeline?
I don’t prefer to edit on a NAS personally but it should provide at least provide gigabit speeds assuming it’s placed properly, realistically a lot more than that as you saw from the video but again depends on your current hardware.
Thanks for the video how about using only the router without satellite for wireless test? how far can it cover without the satellite for budgeting purpose by buying the solely router?
@@WilsonScot-rp8nn When you get the set, it comes with 1 router and 1 satellite for the 2 pack. The 3 pack comes with 1 router and 2 satellites which is the one I have. You don't need anything additional if you get the set aside from an internet source.
Could be good upgrade for my internet plan 2gbps down and 1gbps up, I'm using stock wifi 6 router from provider that was given for free, I never touch 1gbps at all max 800 and upload 600mbps
Your internet speeds are based off your Internet Service Provider but think of those speeds as the absolute best you can get assuming you have all the proper devices. So if I had this node connected via Ethernet to the main router, I would get those speeds but I’m just showing that speeds can vary based on how devices are connected. It also varies quite a bit on what router or mesh system you are using.
@@landpet eagerly waiting for the full review of orbi 970. Myself am waiting for asus bq16. Do not know what's the issue with them. I have one plus open which is wifi 7 so seriously wanna try it with a wifi 7 router
This one has a decent number of options within the web interface (I demo this in my newly released video ruclips.net/video/VnE5TrARFDE/видео.html in case you're interested). Orbi app itself is very limiting.
@@landpet I bought the Orbi 7 as soon it got released and on the second update, they removed the ability to access the "access control" from the web interface forcing everyone to use it on the app... spoiler, the app "access control" never worked as intended, lots of bugs since Nighthawk era....
Shoot imagine in 100 years you will probably be able to have something small as a mini phone that can download a full HD movie I’m seconds with hundred feet range ( I’m probably over exaggerating but you never know )
@@landpet I feel like AI will help a lot and i remember they said by 2030 or 2050 half of the connect on the internet would be AI ( maybe helped made or like a idea but who knows )
If I was to follow this video I would never buy the nether orbi with that wireless speed thats crazy smh 2500usd router and still can't function like it should wirelessly ? If you had bought a cheaper router lets say Linksys wifi 7 and wired it it would give the same speeds, so why again we buying a 2500 dollar router if wirelessly it still sucks ?
This is one of the best WiFi performing routers, not perfect but not bad. I agree with you, if you’re going wired, I would save money and go for something less expensive. I say crazy speeds because I test lots of routers over WiFi and most can’t go over gigabit over WiFi where this one on the download reaches my max speeds, in my definition that is crazy
I’d buy this if I had fiber in my area but all I can get is shitty 4th world country spectrum, I have family in a supposedly 3rd world country and they got fiber 2 gbps up and down for cheaper than what I pay for stupid spectrum.
That’s so fast. I’m very excited to see what the Eero Max 7 can do. Think I’ll buy that one when it’s price drops.
I’m waiting to get the eero 7 as soon as it launches.
Thank you so much for your reviews. There are so few that do this work.
No problem
*landpet* This is another great video. Thank you for producing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Deco is pretty amazing as well. I will be doing a comparison between this, the deco and new eero max 7.

That's crazy. If only these have a reasonable price.
Yeah, they’re expensive. The 2 pack is less, maybe take a look during Black Friday? I don’t know if there will be deals but who knows.
Wow 😮
Yeah very fast
I suppose the question is, will the deco BE85 or BE95 do the same job for much much cheaper. I believe the BE95 is $1000 cheaper.
Do not get be95. I bought and returned in 3 days. Their hardware seems good but their software sucks and worst is their customer service. You won't get speed at all over wifi and it fluctuates a lot as well

If centrally placed, one should be enough for a house of up to 3000sq ft but speeds won’t be great at the edges of the house.
thanks!!@@landpet
Hello. I have frontier 2.0 gig internet. I ordered a 970 orbi. Will I see the speeds I’m paying for?
On Ethernet devices that can support those speeds assuming the cable can as well. Ok WiFi, you will see close to it with WiFi 7 and WiFi 6E devices
🥰
that's insane speeds
Yup
We have the Verizon Home internet and it’s decently quick download speeds but the ping is absolute trash I’m constantly lagging when gaming
With another router I imagine?
One question, is this new router compatible with AT&T fiber? I have 2gig of internet with that company
Yes
@@landpet But do I need a mesh router to be able to connect the new Orbis satellites?

i have 10 gig fiber optic now..CAT 8 cable ..10 gig motherboard capable (Z790 aorus master elite) and im hungry for this router.....SOONNNNNNNNNNNNN
Sounds like you have an epic setup, you just need an epic router/mesh
Could be good upgrade for my internet plan 2gbps down and 1gbps up, I'm using stock wifi 6 router from provider that was given for free, I never touch 1gbps at all max 800 and upload 600mbps
This thing is definitely fast, just depends on your situation.
What ISP Do You Have?
Frontier
Dude for a gamer or even a day trader 4ms lag is insanely fast!!!!
Yeah this thing is a beast
Does Orbi WiFi 7 work with PS5?
Yes
@@landpetnice
Wait a sec, aren't your speeds technically based off your Network provider planned that you signed up for?
Your internet speeds are based off your Internet Service Provider but think of those speeds as the absolute best you can get assuming you have all the proper devices.

Basically apple devices work on Less bandwidth. Even iphone or mac. Apple lags years behind in tech update
Yup, iPhone just started using USB-C. My old Nexus 6P had USB-C over 9 years ago

You can change the scale to 1000 even tho your blowing past it lol
Lol
I get 32mb down and 5mb up :-(
How fast are you internet speeds, should be capable of much faster speeds assuming your ISP supports faster speeds
That is the speed of my ISP

I was also in your shoes but moved a few years back to an area with faster internet available. Not a fan of Spectrum upload speeds.
