The Archer BE700 is another confusing option among TP-Link’s existing soup of Wi-Fi 7 routers. It’s a BE15000 router, which means, according to the way TP-Link has released its hardware, there’s a chance you’ll find an Archer BE15000, which would be the same hardware with a different model name. In …
The U7 Pro XGS, first released on March 11, 2025, together with the U7 Pro XG, is the 10Gbps and thermal upgrade to the U7 Pro Max. It features a faster uplink port and a more effective heat-dissipating solution, albeit at a slightly higher cost. Here’s the bottom line: If …
The Archer GE650, first announced at CES 2025, is in many ways the lesser version of TP-Link’s first Wi-Fi 7 gaming router, the Archer GE800. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The new router is much more compact while delivering a similar experience as far as Wi-Fi is concerned …
If you’re unhappy with the U7 Pro or the U7 Pro Max due to their internal fan but can’t afford the fan-less UniFi E7, Ubiquiti has something that will change your mood. Today, the networking vendor announced the official availability of its next-gen Flagship UniFi access points, the U7 Pro XG and …

It’s the closest thing to a standard Wi-Fi router in Ubiquiti’s UniFi ecosystem of multiple hardware applications. However, that does not necessarily mean it’s “bad”. The UX7 is still much more advanced than most third-party …
The UniFi Dream Router 7 (UDR7), one of three Ubiquiti’s 2025 compact UniFi cloud gateways, is a significant upgrade to the previous version, the UDR. It’s somewhat a combination of the non-Wi-Fi UniFi Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) and a UniFi Wi-Fi 7 access point, such as the U7 Pro Max, into a …
Unlike ASUS’s previous Wi-Fi 7 ZenWiFi sets, the ZenWiFi BT6 is the first in the family to feature a single Multi-Gig port. And that can be a deal breaker for many. In a wired backhaul setup, which is generally recommended, this mesh system’s satellite unit will have its bandwdith limited …
Amazon today announced the eero 7 and eero Pro 7, adding them to the eero Wi-Fi 7 family, which already includes the eero Max 7 mesh router and eero 7 Outdoor access point. These new products are both mesh routers—they each can work as a standalone router, or you can …
The ECW516L is the first Wi-Fi 7 access point in the EnGenius Cloud Lite (ECW Lite) family, which is supposedly a lesser alternative to EnGenisu’s standard ECW hardware. That, plus the model name, might suggest that this new AP is inferior hardware to the ECW526 that came out in mind-2024. …
The Enterprise 7 or UniFi E7 is the latest in Ubiquiti’s Wi-Fi 7 access points—in case you wonder why “7” and not “8” or any other random number. The name E7 is a bit different from the convention used for previous models, such as the U7 Pro Max or U6 …
