NETGEAR also published a version 2 of the hardware in December 2025 (RBE771v2 and RBE770v2 manual and firmware, seen in the NETGEAR community forum). The maker's page and datasheet do not name a version, so the entry covers the Orbi 770 Series as sold, and the maker's manual linked here is the June 2024 version 1 manual.

Each band is 2x2 on the Qualcomm Networking Pro 620 platform, six streams in total. The rates fit 2 streams at 240 MHz on 5 GHz and 2 streams at 320 MHz on 6 GHz. 40 MHz is the widest 2.4 GHz channel.
