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.

Netgear Nighthawk RS300

7.5 / 10 Expert Rating

An affordable WiFi 7 entry into the Nighthawk ecosystem, held back by a 2.5Gbps port ceiling that caps real multi-gig use.
