The Asus RT-BE96U has a big footprint and a hefty price tag, but it delivered speedy throughput and strong signal performance in testing, making it an excellent tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router.
The D-Link Aquila Pro M60 wired connection options leave a bit to be desired, but the dual-band router still offers acceptable Wi-Fi performance and represents a good value overall.
The TP-Link RE600X is a Wi-Fi range extender that does a good job of extending 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless signals in your home, but it doesn’t support all Wi-Fi 6 features.
The Linksys Velop Pro 7 is a three-piece Wi-Fi 7 mesh system with disappointing performance and a conspicuous lack of high-speed LAN ports, making it poorly suited to early adopters looking to future-proof their networks.
Netgear’s Orbi 970 Series is a wildly expensive three-piece mesh system that uses Wi-Fi 7 technology and multi-gig wired ports to deliver astonishing speeds, but it's extravagant overkill for most households right now.
