Verdict

Amazon eero Max 7

8 / 10 Expert Rating

The right flagship mesh upgrade for existing eero households — minimal app and eero Plus cost are the tradeoffs.

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.
