Peak Wi‑Fi speed is a clear strength at close range, with gigabit-class results and top-tier performance in several tests. The absence of 6GHz and long-range drop-off keep it below full-size...
Pros: Wi-Fi speed, close-range speed
Cons: mesh performance, seamless handoff
Its 9.5Gbps-class capacity is repeatedly described as exceptionally fast, easily covering gaming, streaming, and demanding household traffic.
Pros: wireless performance, Wi-Fi speed
Cons: content filtering
Reviewers repeatedly describe very fast real-world Wi-Fi, including dramatic gains over older routers and a noticeable step up when using Wi-Fi 7-capable clients.
Pros: long-range speed, whole-home coverage
Cons: XGS-PON support, Matter support
Wireless speeds are strong enough for streaming, calls, and general work in good coverage, but results fall sharply when the cellular connection is weak.
Pros: Wi-Fi standard support, web interface setup
Cons: 160 MHz support, long-range speed
Nearby Wi-Fi 7 speed can be exceptional, but other testing found mediocre throughput and weak scaling at distance, making overall speed highly environment-dependent.
Pros: close-range speed, download performance
Cons: automatic configuration, interface responsiveness
