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.

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.
