Verdict
Acer Predator Connect Wave 7
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A promising gaming-branded WiFi 7 mesh with real range, from a company still new to networking.
MikroTik hAP be3 Media
7.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A capable, forward-looking WiFi 7 debut from MikroTik with real VLAN and 2.5G networking depth, held back only by RouterOS's learning curve and by how little independent hands-on testing exists so far.
