there is currently no need for wifi 7 other than better range in some settings. wifi 6 is plenty of fast enough. I have the RT-AX88U pro and 800mbs+ per wireless client is a bigger pipe than most can use comsidering 4k only uses 35 mbs and most servers cap downloads shy of 800mbs.
I sold my asus 68 and went eero. Sold the eero and a month later went to a asus 88 rx pro. For me and my old house, the single asus had better range and perf than the mesh.
So my single asus that hasn’t had a firmware release in like 6 months continues to chug along.
Maybe we are getting to the point now where upgrading doesn’t get you much
Top options are the ASUS RT-AX88U Pro for strong performance, the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 for reliability, and the Synology RT6600ax for good features. These offer solid coverage and handle multiple devices well without huge speed drops.
Ummm, yes. That's what I am saying. Did it for almost 20 years with charter and then spectrum. About six months ago I switched to T-Fiber. Used their eeros routers for a couple of months and then ditched them and out my old Asus stuff back into play. So currently using the modem device that T-Fiber installs, but my own routers. I never called them to tell them either. Just did it. But for almost 20 years I ran my own modem and router.
That router is a good router. It is essentially the same as the slightly newer RT-AX88U Pro.
Both can use the Merlin firmware, which I highly recommend.

OpenWrt enthusiast's choice; good value, but lacks 6GHz.
