Netgear is releasing more affordable versions of its flagship Orbi and Nighthawk router systems. The recently-released Orbi 970 starts at a jaw-dropping $1,700 , so this is a welcome bit of news.

Netgear’s Nighthawk WiFi 7 routers. The new standalone WiFi 7 routers join the Nighthawk RS700S and RS300 to deliver faster speed, low latency, and high capacity, backed by robust router security.

The authentication bypass security bug (fixed in firmware version 2.2.2.2 and tracked as PSV-2023-0138) impacts CAX30 Nighthawk AX6 6-Stream cable modem routers.
