I have to say, you really understand how the “But I need to upgrade!” mind works, lol, and you’ve exposed that my “need” to upgrade to WiFi 7 is actually just a “want” in search of a reason to do it–and I can’t find one after reading this! On the brighter side, I’ll save a bunch of money by getting years more use out of my Asus AX-86U, which has been a superb and bulletproof router

I was grappling with upgrading my WiFi 6 Orbi to their new WiFi 7 970 version… but your points on compatibility have helped make up my mind to wait a bit.

Another point I struggle with is the benefit of WiFi 7 when utilizing a 1 gig internet plan. My current plan is 1.2 Gbps… so WiFi 6 with its 9.6 Gbps speed can deliver everything my 1.2 gig connection can offer. Moving up to WiFi 7’s 46 Gbps wouldn’t offer any tangible speed benefits right? Other than the bigger channel width, intra-network transfers, etc… but wouldn’t really translate to additional speed as WiFi 6’s 9.6 Gbps already maxes out my 1.2 gig connection. Am I thinking about this right?

That’s interesting! I think they subsidize those and don’t intend to sell them to the general public. Thanks for sharing, Eric.

It can be had for ~$100 used on eBay and it has 2 10G ports (1 LAN+ 1 WAN) and 2 2.5G LAN ports. Yes, it works anywhere, not just on FIOS (although I am using it there).

Only thing is there are no real VPN settings, but the rest is there.

And you’re right about Wi-Fi 6. I got my Asus RT-AX86U a few years ago thanks to your review and it’s been phenomenal!
