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.

Network featuresiFeatures the maker lists that work without a paid subscription. An IoT network is a separate network for smart home devices. Dual WAN uses a second internet connection as a backup or to share the load. Only features the maker clearly says are free. Parental controls counts when a free feature pauses or schedules internet access per person or device, such as eero Profiles, even when content filters need a subscription. When the maker's pages contradict each other, leave the feature out.

Security service costiWhat the service costs after any free trial. Basic free means the basic features are free and the full set needs a subscription. When the free and paid tiers share one name, such as HomeShield, it is basic free. NETGEAR Armor has no free tier after its trial, so it is paid. When the paid tier is a separate add-on, such as eero Plus, it is paid.

Paid6Maker product pagenetgear.com/home/services/armorRead 23 October 2026NETGEAR Armor starts at 99.99 USD a year and has a time-limited free trial on compatible routers.

Firmware is not stated and the band is not named. Direct rows: 15 ft (4.572 m) 1.721 Gbps, 50 ft (15.24 m) 391.1 Mbps, 75 ft (22.86 m) 199.2 Mbps and 90 ft (27.432 m) 54.2 Mbps. Satellite rows: the test system 40 ft (12.192 m) from a node directly above the router on the second floor 404.4 Mbps, and 40 ft from a node in the basement 457.5 Mbps. With the notebook next to the router it measured 1.920 Gbps, which is not stored.
