This WiFi backhaul radio channel often shares bandwidth with connected devices via the fronthaul, which can lead to reduced performance and increased latency during periods of high traffic. However, these performance issues can be mitigated with a dedicated radio channel, as seen in the Orbi 970 Series Mesh system. Understanding the differences between fronthaul and backhaul is crucial for optimizing network efficiency and performance.<\/p>\n<h3>The Mesh Performance Solution: Enhanced Dedicated Wireless Backhaul for Mesh Network Backhaul<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/rbe973sb\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-10161 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/orbi-rbke973s_g7_779x536v1_tcm148-1521331.jpg\" alt=\"Quadband WiFi\" width=\"550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/orbi-rbke973s_g7_779x536v1_tcm148-1521331.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/orbi-rbke973s_g7_779x536v1_tcm148-1521331-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/orbi-rbke973s_g7_779x536v1_tcm148-1521331-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/a>At its essence, the Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul builds on NETGEAR&#8217;s patented dedicated backhaul technology by incorporating WiFi 7 enhancements to improve wireless backhaul performance. It uses Multi Links Operation (MLO), a WiFi 7 feature, to combine dedicated 5GHz and 6GHz band to forge a specialized mesh network backhaul connection between the Orbi router and its mesh satellites. This design allows the Orbi system to achieve unimpeded speeds up to 10 Gbps across entire Orbi mesh system. This ensures that your internet traffic reaches every device without any added latency no matter the speed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px;\">Optional 10Gb Mesh Ethernet Backhaul<\/h3>\n<p>Optionally users can configure the included 10G Ethernet as a backhaul. What makes Orbi 970 unbeatable is that Ethernet backhaul can be combined with Wireless backhaul. Users can mix a match wired and wireless backhaul based on home layout. Ethernet backhaul can be used to connect a router to a satellite or even to connect a satellite to another satellite. This gives users flexible options to combine Ethernet and wireless backhaul (backhaul wifi) depending on home layout.<\/p>\n<p><!-- StartAdSpot --><br \/>\n<a href=\"\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/rbe973sb\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10374 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/970-ad-spot.jpg\" alt=\"Orbi WiFi 7 Ad Banner\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/970-ad-spot.jpg 728w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/970-ad-spot-300x37.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<!-- EndAdSpot --><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic2\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Dedicated 5GHz Advantage<\/h2>\n                <p>Using dedicated 5GHz for backhaul has a distinct advantage over 6GHz. Regulatory compliance requirement allows 5GHz to transmit at higher power than 6GHz. This translates into more distance between router and satellite using 5GHz compared to 6GHz. To allow for maximum coverage, Orbi 970 uses 5GHz as a dedicated backhaul (dedicated wireless backhaul) band.<\/p>\n<p>Orbi 970 also has a dedicated 4&#215;4 5GHz radio for fronthaul i.e. dedicated for all WiFi client devices at home. As 5GHz WiFi has been in use for several years, it is expected that most of the current WiFi clients use 5GHz. In order to ensure that system has ample capacity for multiple clients to operate simultaneously, Orbi 970 has dedicated a 5GHz band just for clients.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic3\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Enhancing Backhaul using 6GHz<\/h2>\n                <p>While 6GHz spectrum has been available since introduction of WiFi 6E,WiFi 7 makes use of 6GHz band much more efficiently to get much faster speeds \u2013 2.4 x times faster than 6E. It does that by doubling bandwidth from 160MHz to 320 MHz, it is like doubling number of lanes on a highway. Further WiFi 7 uses 4K QAM up from 1K QAM in WiFi 6E. Higher QAM is like packing more data in same packet. Use of 4K QAM gives additional 20% speed increase.<\/p>\n<p>Orbi 970 has a 4&#215;4 6GHz radio that has a capacity of ~11.5 Gbps. While adoption of WiFi 7 ramps up it is expected that initially users will have very few new WiFi 7 client devices that will make use of this available capacity. Orbi 970 reuses most of the unused 6GHz capacity to further enhance backhaul performance and improve the wireless backhaul mesh connection. WiFi 7\u2019s MLO combines 6GHz with a dedicated 5GHz backhaul to deliver up to 10 Gbps of backhaul wifi capacity.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-9161 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/wifi-7-pretty.jpg\" alt=\"WiFi 7 vs. WiFi 6 vs. WiFi 5\" width=\"991\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/wifi-7-pretty.jpg 991w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/wifi-7-pretty-300x119.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/wifi-7-pretty-768x305.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 991px) 100vw, 991px\" \/><\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic4\" class=\"skip-item bg-gray-full\">\n                        <h2>MLO Backhaul Advantage <\/h2>\n                <p>While link aggregation technology itself is not new, what is unique about MLO in WiFi 7 is that the combining of two WiFi links is done at the physical link level, which essentially means that there is virtually no added latency while combining the links. Because MLO operates at the physical link level, it benefits mesh network backhaul and backhaul wireless links with very low added latency. This is a huge advantage for high bandwidth intensive and latency sensitive applications like Gaming, HD Video conferencing and AR\/VR applications.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic5\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Benefits Legacy WiFi devices<\/h2>\n                <p>Using Orbi 970 users will get performance benefit for all WiFi devices, including legacy WiFi 6 and WiFi 5 devices. Those improvements are delivered through a stronger wifi backhaul that benefits every client on your mesh. As Orbi 970 is a mesh system, it makes full advantage of WiFi 7 technology in its backhaul, thereby increasing the backhaul speed from ~2 Gbps in prior generation Orbi to 10Gbps. That is 5x improvement that will be passed on to all the client devices be it old or new. That essentially means that even if you don\u2019t have any new WiFi6E or WiFi 7 client you will still see huge improvement in coverage and speed for all your connected devices.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n        <div id=\"topic6\" class=\"skip-item\">\n                        <h2>Get Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul with Orbi 970 Series<\/h2>\n                <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-9146 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Orbi_RBE970_Office-1-300x115.jpg\" alt=\"NETGEAR Orbi WiFi\" width=\"300\" height=\"115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Orbi_RBE970_Office-1-300x115.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Orbi_RBE970_Office-1-1024x394.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Orbi_RBE970_Office-1-768x295.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Orbi_RBE970_Office-1-1536x590.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.netgear.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Orbi_RBE970_Office-1-2048x787.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>The <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"\/home\/wifi\/mesh\/rbe973sb\/\">The Enhanced Dedicated Backhaul elevates the Orbi 970 Series<\/a> to its elite status by delivering industry-leading dedicated backhaul wireless performance.
