I have this exact model and it's not all it's cracked up to be. The wifi 7 has really short range and interference seems like a side-grade rather than an upgrade vs mature wifi 6E. Very few devices also support wifi 7 now
First generation of routers embracing a new tech are rarely good buys... Just be patient.
Have had this for a couple weeks. The software sucks. I like that it has 2.5g on all ports. The model above this is what I really wanted but it's $600 for basically two more antennas and a couple 10g ports (including one sfp+). WiFi range blows. Can't sort connected devices by IP. The IoT dedicated network isn't recognized by ANY of my iot devices as it's not a dedicated 2.4ghz radio even though it claims to be.

Had this router in an apartment for about 3 months with literally no issues.

Not many devices support wifi 7 yet, but I'm typing this on a Google Pixel 8 pro which does.

Yes, as a commenter above pointed out the wifi 7 has short range. That's how wifi works. Wifi 7 is only faster than 5/6 if I'm in the same room (tested with my phone).

Routers can and will receive firmware updates as needed if the specifications for wifi 7 change. The hardware necessary for wifi 7 either exists inside the router or it doesn't. So skeptical about the suggestion to wait in regards to quality or performance, although the price will surely come down as more wifi 7 routers become available.

Avoid wifi 7 routers until late 2025 in my opinion for the following reasons:

1) You are paying the early adopter fees.
2) Very few clients support Wifi 7.
3) Larger footprint and power draw compared to 6/6E riders since they need to accommodate larger channel widths
4) Speed benefits over Wifi 6E are only going to be effective if you already have multi gig internet which very few people have since majority of households still get internet with cable.

I think they call that the bleeding edge of tech for a reason.

Quote from Luigis3rdcousin :
Considering most smart devices, TVs, Rokus etc are still somewhere between N and AC instead of AX you might want to wait until 2028 at the earliest for WiFi 7

I have an old hp officejet pro 8600 that uses the cheap third party ink. Its reliable and works but refuses to work on my ASUS WiFi 6 router. So I have it set as a AC router and everything works good and we have no problems not using WiFi 6 around here. I will gladly forgo WiFi 6 as long as that printer keeps working and I don't have to deal with HPs barbaric printer ink moneygrab scam business model lol
Unless you need color, Brother laser printers are some of the last "dumb" printers that are super cheap to operate. Mine isn't connected to the internet, and I'm on year 4 or 5 of the current toner

I still haven't seen a compelling reason to replace my router from 2015. Nothing runs Wifi6, let alone 7. Range is greater on 5. I don't have thousands of wireless devices. My internet is 1gig and I get full speed. What am I missing?.

Have had this for some months. No real issues so far. Some of their choices are annoying, but it's a consumer router after all.

I don't know why someone down voted my comment, I made a point that is a fact. If you are running even a WiFi 6 router with older wireless N or G devices on the 2.4ghz channel. You will have compatibility issues with those devices. You will get random disconnects and the performance will drop with other devices. The moment you disable the 2.4ghz channel WiFi 6 and make it AC only. Suddenly all those old devices will have no problem connecting to the router. This is a known issue. I'm surprised someone didn't agree with me on this lol.

All I'm saying is, if your gonna go WiFi 7, be sure all of the devices are WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 so they can take advantage of the features and try not to use ancient WiFi standards with the new ones
