Verdict
Amazon eero 6
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
The cheapest WiFi 6 mesh in Amazon's lineup, Zigbee hub included.
TP-Link TL-7DR3600
5.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A real, ultra-budget WiFi 7 router that delivers the standard's checkbox but almost none of its benefit at this dual-band, unverified-spec price point — buy it for the low price and the newer standard's future-proofing, not for confirmed performance.
