RBE771, RBE770, RBE772, RBE7731Maker product pagenetgear.com/home/wifi/mesh/rbe772Read 23 October 2026The page is the 2-pack RBE772 with one router RBE771 and one satellite RBE770. The 3-pack RBE773 and the add-on satellite RBE770 have their own pages. 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.

The maker sells several hardware versions (V1 to V5) under this name. The spec rows on this page match the current V5 datasheet (2 internal antennas), so the product describes the current US hardware. Earlier versions differ, for example the V1 US datasheet lists 4 internal antennas and a 12 V 1.5 A adapter.6Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B08D67556WRead 23 October 2026Mfr Part Number Deco X20(1-pack).7Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B08D5X9GWCRead 23 October 2026Mfr Part Number Deco X20(2-pack).8Retailer pageamazon.com/dp/B085Z35GY6Read 23 October 2026Mfr Part Number Deco X20(3-pack).

The FAQ says a separate band used only for backhaul is exclusive to the Orbi 970, and the datasheet says backhaul is shared 5 GHz and 6 GHz. So no radio is a dedicated backhaul.

Total 11000 Mbps. The manual rounds the 802.11be rates 4324 and 5765 Mbps. The stored 5 GHz and 6 GHz rates are the 802.11be 2x2 rates, as the Dong Knows Tech table prints.10Reviewdongknows.com/netgear-orbi-770-series-wi-fi-7-mesh-reviewRead 23 October 2026Hardware table: 2.4 GHz 2x2 BE up to 688 Mbps (20/40 MHz), 5 GHz upper channels 2x2 BE up to 4324 Mbps (20/40/160/240 MHz) and 6 GHz 2x2 BE up to 5765 Mbps (20/40/160/320 MHz). Dedicated backhaul band: none, so all three bands are open to clients.13Reviewtomsguide.com/computing/routers/netgear-orbi-770-reviewRead 23 October 2026The review says the Orbi 770 transmits at 688 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 4.32 Gbps on 5 GHz and 5.76 Gbps on 6 GHz, runs six concurrent streams and splits the backhaul between 5 GHz and 6 GHz instead of using a dedicated band.

It prints no per-band streams or channel widths. The only split that gives 4 streams in total is 2 streams on each band: 574 Mbps is 2 streams at 40 MHz on 2.4 GHz (4 streams would need a 20 MHz channel and leave none for 5 GHz) and 1201 Mbps is 2 streams at 80 MHz on 5 GHz (1 stream at 160 MHz would make the total 3). Expert Reviews confirms 2x2 MIMO and no 160 MHz support on the 5 GHz radio. No band is a dedicated backhaul: the page lists one Dual-Band system and Tom's Guide says there is no dedicated backhaul channel.2Maker spec sheet (PDF)tp-link.com/us/document/110981Read 23 October 2026Deco X20_V5_Datasheet, Wireless: Signal Rate 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz, 1201 Mbps on 5 GHz.

Wi-Fi featuresiFeatures the maker names for the product. Band steering puts all bands under one network name and moves devices between them, e.g. Smart Connect. Band steering over only some of the bands, such as 2.4 and 5 GHz on a tri-band router, counts. AFC is Automated Frequency Coordination, which allows standard power on 6 GHz. Support that needs a later firmware counts, and the firmware goes in the source note.
