Even under sustained or heavy use, the M7 only became mildly warm and avoided uncomfortable heat.
Pros: Wi-Fi standard support, web interface setup
Cons: 160 MHz support, long-range speed
Passive cooling and generous ventilation kept the nodes only slightly warm, with no fan noise reported.
Pros: close-range speed, download performance
Cons: automatic configuration, interface responsiveness
Thermals are generally controlled, with some units becoming warm but not concerning and fan controls available in software. Reports differ on whether the fan runs often, but noise is described...
Pros: Wi-Fi speed, close-range speed
Cons: mesh performance, seamless handoff
Thermal results are mixed across tests: one measured a very cool fanless chassis, while another noticed meaningful heat under load.
Pros: long-range speed, whole-home coverage
Cons: XGS-PON support, Matter support
