Just upgraded to 970
Traded in my 960 to a 970 today. Main and 2 satellites covering 3 floors of ~5200 SF home. Since I am not running Ethernet cables in the walls, the new wireless backhaul intrigued me.
Set up was easy, and it is running super stable in AP mode behind my firewalla. I did try to enable the 240 MHz backhaul but the satellites starting disconnecting, but with it off, it’s been solid so far. Not sure if I want to fool around with that more later, but I only have 1GB fiber, so it’s probably not that important. Like others, I am seeing a significant increase in bandwidth around the satellites (close to max on 6E devices).
No idea if this was worth the money, but I am a sucker for the latest tech.

Those are not Netgear model numbers. They aren't even the usual misleading wifi speeds.
As you have posted in the section for Cell Service Mobile Hotspot Modems, AirCards, & Mobile Routers I assume they are among those. But none seems to have that sort of model number.
