You haven't truly seen a budget router until you're using a $5 WRT54GS from Goodwill

I mean budget wifi 7 router. Not a 20 year old router you found on the floor at Goodwill

agree, if no 6Ghz, what's the difference comparing to wifi 6e? I guess you pay for MLO, and for $80 you paying for a new wifi 6e router + MLO.

Exactly, no one should be using ancient routers.

if you have a functional Wi-Fi 6e router than you probably shouldn't buy this. If you know of a better deal currently on a 6e router then could you share it

I actually have one of these as a secondary router meshed with a higher end TP-Link Wifi 7 router. It's been working great. No complaints and it spreads out the embarrassing number of IoT devices that I have on my network. For the price, it's a solid deal. As for 6ghz, it's been my experience that if you are not in the same room, 6ghz degrades quickly. If you are in the same room, wired connection is just better if you can swing it. I personally would not use this as my primary router. As an additional access point it's great.
