October 1. I've checked prices and the Netgear Orbi 770 three-pack is still at its lowest ever price.

I'm currently upgrading my home network to Wi-Fi 7, so I've been keeping a close eye on mesh router deals ahead of the Prime Day sale, which launches on October 6. And this one immediately caught my attention, with Netgear's Orbi 770 mesh router system down to its lowest price.

• Best for: Home users and small businesses that need strong Wi-Fi coverage in every room without dead zones or having to run wires to every router.

• The deal: The Netgear Orbi 770 Wi-Fi 7 mesh system three pack is now £579 (was £759) at Amazon.

• Why it matters: Wireless backhaul on the Orbi 770 is particularly good - although wired is always better, this is a good fix if you don't want to trail Ethernet cables around the house. In our own testing, we scored this system 4.5 stars and praised the "impressive Wi-Fi 7 speeds at a competitive price." It's tri-band model with support for MLO, up to 100 connected devices, and a 2.5 Gig internet port for full-speed fibre connections.

This is the 3-pack configuration: one Orbi 770 router plus two satellite units, built to blanket a larger home in strong signal without the dead zones a single router leaves behind.

Why we recommend it

When we put the Orbi 770 to the test, we found it offered "excellent performance for home users and small businesses," scoring it 4.5 stars.

It might be cheaper than the flagship Orbi 970 series, but it "doesn’t cut any corners when it comes to performance." It did aa great job of extending wireless connectivity to hard-to-reach areas of the house during review.

Bonus points for the easy-to-use app, which lets you set up guest Wi-Fi accounts and IoT networks. It's simple to get started, although some features are locked behind an optional subscription.

Overall, we rated it the top pick for homes in our guide to the best mesh Wi-Fi systems.

Price Context & Historical Value

At £579, this is an all-time low for the Orbi 770 series. It proved to be a strong all-round performer at an affordable price (well, compared to the Orbi 970). At this deal price, it's about on par with the Amazon eero 7 Pro.

Should you buy it?

✅ Buy the Netgear Orbi 770 if...

You want whole-home Wi-Fi 7 coverage to eliminate internet dead zones, especially if you have a lot of devices or run a multi-gig fibre connection.

❌ Skip the Netgear Orbi 770 if...

You live in a flat or smaller house where a single router or two-pack model will suit you better, or you don't have devices for Wi-Fi 7 speeds with no plans to future-proof or upgrade.
