Netgear Orbi 373 Wi-Fi 7 Mesh Three-Pack Hits Record Low £249 on Amazon
Netgear's Orbi 373 Wi-Fi 7 mesh three-pack has dropped to a record-low £249 at Amazon, TechRadar reports.
In testing, TechRadar said the Orbi 370-series system eliminated common home networking dead zones. The three-pack includes one router with a 2.5Gb internet port and two satellites. It is rated for up to 4,500 sq ft of coverage, up to 70 connected devices and WPA3 security, and it supports speeds up to 3.6Gbps. TechRadar gave the Orbi 373 four stars and a Great Value badge, citing simple setup and an affordable price for Wi-Fi 7 hardware.
TechRadar reviewer Cliff said: “The Orbi 373 that we tested certainly gave my office Wi-Fi a welcome boost.” He described an office at the back of his building that his old router could not reach, forcing him to use powerline adaptors for a wired connection. After placing one satellite in that office and the second in a hallway roughly halfway between the main router and the other satellite, he said the Orbi 373 hit the maximum 150Mbps in the same room for Ookla Speed Test and Steam downloads. While moving along the corridor with a laptop still downloading files from Steam, he said the system held steady at 150Mbps.
TechRadar noted the 2.5Gb port matters because many mesh systems at this price still cap at Gigabit Ethernet, which can bottleneck faster broadband plans. A three-piece system is also enough for most larger homes without buying a four- or five-unit kit, according to the report.
The deal’s limits are outlined by TechRadar. The Orbi 373 is dual-band and skips the 6GHz band, so it will not match the raw throughput of tri-band mesh systems at this price. The UK version is capped at 3.6Gbps and 4,500 sq ft, lower than the 5Gbps and 6,000 sq ft figures quoted for the US and Australian versions of the same hardware, due to regional radio regulations. Full parental controls require a paid Netgear Armor subscription, and the satellites have limited Ethernet ports.
TechRadar said the £249 price is an all-time low according to Amazon price tracker CamelCamelCamel. The publication said buyers should consider the Orbi 373 if they have a larger home with persistent Wi-Fi dead zones, want Wi-Fi 7 hardware without flagship mesh pricing, or need a 2.5Gb port to use a faster broadband connection. It advised skipping the system if they need tri-band or 6GHz support, want full parental controls without a paid Netgear subscription, or have a home small enough for a single router.
Editor's Summary The Netgear Orbi 373 Wi-Fi 7 mesh three-pack has reached a record-low £249 at Amazon, according to TechRadar, offering dual-band coverage for larger homes with a 2.5Gb port. The UK version is capped at 3.6Gbps and 4,500 sq ft and lacks 6GHz, while full parental controls require a paid Netgear Armor subscription. The deal is positioned for remote workers and families with dead zones who do not need tri-band performance.
