Verdict
Amazon eero 6+
8 / 10 Expert Rating
Strong gigabit mesh coverage for the money, as long as WiFi 6 is enough for the household.
TP-Link Deco BE85
8 / 10 Expert Rating
The flagship WiFi 7 mesh system to buy if you have real multi-gig fiber, the SFP+ port alone justifies the price over cheaper tri-band options.
