Verdict

ASUS RT-AX3000

6.5 / 10 Expert Rating

A perfectly serviceable budget WiFi 6 router, but there's little here that distinguishes it from ASUS's own cheaper AX55.

Netgear Orbi 370

7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuine entry point into WiFi 7 mesh, held back by dual-band sharing and a modest 70-device ceiling.
