The system is built to cover expansive spaces—up to 9,000 square feet with a 3‑pack—and supports simultaneous streaming, gaming, and smart‑home devices with minimal interference. It also exposes NETGEAR Armor and Advanced Router Protection options via optional subscriptions, while the Orbi App provides setup, network monitoring, and guest network management. This kit targets large homes, multi‑story layouts, and users who demand premium Wi‑Fi 7 performance with future‑proof wired/backhaul options.
