Verdict
Amazon eero Pro 6E
8 / 10 Expert Rating
Simple, well-covered WiFi 6E mesh with a Zigbee hub in every unit, at the cost of advanced configuration.
Netgear Nighthawk RAX40
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
An entry-level router riding on the Nighthawk name, adequate for small homes but modest next to Netgear's own higher-tier models.
